On Target

https://ontargetpodcast.caMod Marty has been rummaging through the musical underbrush again, and this week’s On Target is crawling with all sorts of wonderful creatures. From back-alley R&B and sweat-soaked soul to British Beat and fuzz-laden garage, it’s a wild little ecosystem where every record has its own peculiar charm. Some bite, some sting, and a few are downright irresistible. No need to call an exterminator, just turn up the radio and let them loose.-----------------------------------------------The playlist is:"Pinball Number Count"The Sweet Divines & Fred Leslie's Missing Link- Columbia"Lovey Dovey/You're So Fine"Bunny Sigle- Parkway"One More Time"The Charmettes- Marlin"Tossin' And Turnin'"Dee Dee Sharp- Down Memory Lane LP"Baby Scratch My Back"Slim Harpo- Excello"Gold Diggin Man"Joe Johnson- Galaxy"Don't Knock It"Sinner Strong- Serock"You Get Your Kicks"Johnny-Jay & The Gangbusters- Josie"No Thanks"Georgie Fame- CBS"Don't Fight It"The Last Word- Atco"Tell Her"Dean Parrish- Boom"I Want You Back"The Webs- Verve"Ain't That A Shame"Lonnie Lester & Chuck Danzy- Nu-Tone"Doin' The Banana Split"The Banana Splits- Kellogg's"Sugar, Let's Shing-A-Ling"Shirley Ellis- Columbia"Pretty Little Words"Tawny Williams- Chess"I Know What I Want"Tommy G & The Charms- Hollywood"Psychotic Reaction"Positively Thirteen O'clock- HBR"Kocka Mow Mow"The Dinks- Sully"Dirty Robber"The Wailers- Etiquette"Got My Mojo Working"Jimmy Smith- Verve

https://ontargetpodcast.caWho says the good stuff stopped being made in 1969? This week on On Target, Mod Marty slips a few modern contenders into the company of his beloved ’60s soul, R&B, mod, and rock ’n’ roll.

https://ontargetpodcast.caYou can knock the wind out of a person, but you can't keep a good record down. This week on On Target, Mod Marty celebrates resilience through the stubborn spirit of soul, the defiance of R&B, and the unshakable attitude of rock ’n’ roll.

Life may land a few punches, but the music always answers the bell.-----------------------------------------------The playlist is:"I Found Love" Jackie Wilson & Linda Hopkins- Brunswick"Feels So Good" Dee Dee Sharp- Down Memory Lane LP"Tired Of Running From You" The Capitols- Karen"Honey Child" Bobby Bland- Duke"Reality" Carolyn Franklin- RCA-Victor"The Janitor Drives A Cadillac" Papa John Creach- Grunt"We Got To Live Together" Buddy Miles- Mercury"Soul Searchin'"Electric Flag- Columbia"Baby, I Gotta Go Now" The Magic Lanterns- Polydor"Live" The Merry-Go-Round- A&M"Time" Edwin Starr - Tamla-Motown"It Takes Two" The Four Sonics- Sport"I Got The Fever" The Prophets- Smash "Have Some Everybody" Flaming Emeralds- Fee"Can't You See (You're Losing Me)" Mary Wells- Atco"Moanin'" Chris Farlow- Immediate"I've Gotta Make You Love Me" Steam- Mercury"Taste Of Honey" The Victor Feldman Quartet- Infinity

https://ontargetpodcast.caMod Marty’s got the records, the instincts, and a weakness for a tune with a bit of bite. This week on On Target, the ’60s and ’70s collide in a heady mix of mod, Northern Soul, R&B, and roots reggae, with tough rhythms, brassy flourishes, and just the right amount of grit. These are sounds built to shake a room, snap a few fingers, and put a little strut in your step.

https://ontargetpodcast.caSome records have manners; others kick the door open and make themselves at home. This week on On Target, Mod Marty gives the ’60s plenty of room to misbehave, with soul, R&B, mod, and psych bringing their own brand of attitude to the proceedings. It’s a collection with character, a few rough edges, and absolutely no interest in behaving itself. Just the way we like it.-----------------------------------------------The playlist is:"Happening '68"Paul Revere & The Raiders- Columbia"I'm Talkin Bout You"Chuck Berry- Chess"Shake Wid The Shake"Don Covay & The Goodtimers- Columbia"Barefootin'"The Marvelettes- Tamla-Motown"A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues"Jimmy Hughes- Atco"Don't Fight It"The Sweet Inspirations- Atlantic"Keep Loving"Billy Stewart- Chess"Reste"Claude François- Philips"I'm A Loner"The Jaybees- RCA-Victor Canada Intl."Let's Talk It Over"Dino, Desi & Billy- Columbia"Club A-Go-Go"Barbara Lynn- Tribe"The New Breed"Jimmy Holiday- Diplomacy "Unchained"Lyn Roman- Dot"Would You Believe"Jackie Lee- Mirwood "Bad For Each Other"Little Carl Carlton- Back Beat"Machines"Lothar & The Hand People- Capitol"Hey Senorita"The Great Danes- Capitol"Whatcha Gonna Do About It"The Hollies- Imperial"You've Gotta Be Loved"The Montanas- Pye
