Six standout selections heard today:
KCAT (Pine Bluff, AR)
- You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine-Lou Rawls (Coming from a less capable or self-assured voice, these sentiments might sound cloying. Coming from a voice this confident and rich, however, it's not surprising that this hit has held up since 1976. I've always liked that George Benson's guitar instrumental, "Affirmation," has a similar melody propelling it.)
- Love Is The Message-MFSB (This 1973 instrumental has a similar danceworthy feel to the group's chart-topping hit, "TSOP.")
KPCA (Petaluma, CA)
- Lotus Blossom-Helen Sung (Melodic piano playing that's consistent with the rest of Sung's "Going Express" CD.)
WQED (Pittsburgh, PA)
- Celedonio Romero: Guasa (Dance) (Pepe Romero, guitar) (A brisk, lighthearted piece for nimble guitarists.)
WUSC (Columbia, SC)
- Questions In A World Of Blue-Julee Cruise (Reminiscent of Enya.)
- Cantalopah-Super Water Sympathy (Compelling, powerful guitar matches the vocals in this 2013 indie rock track.)
