For those of you who have listened to my show for a while, you know that Donna Summer is one of my favorite artists of all time. I love disco and I love soul, and one of my other favorite singers is Lou Rawls.

So when I found out that two of my favorite singers got together to sing a duet, you could imagine how excited I was! From the NBC late-night show “The Midnight Special,” here is Donna Summer and Lou Rawls singing “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” in 1977.

in 1973, the first installment of Schoolhouse Rock premiered on ABC. From January 1973 to March of that year, kids all over the country were taught “Multiplication Rock” which featured the iconic songs of “Three Is A Magic Number” and “My Hero, Zero.” It wasn’t until September of that year that the second installment, “Grammar Rock,” would begin to air its episodes.

Grammar Rock is, of course, where we take a visit down to “Conjunction Junction” which is also an excuse to show off this amazing Conjunction Junction hat that my parents gifted me for Christmas. It is one of the best presents I received this year!

What was your favorite song from Schoolhouse Rock?

Born 100 years ago, I’d like to wish a Happy Heavenly Birthday to the legendary George Martin! You know him, of course, as the producer of all of The Beatles’s albums and the man who took the leap of faith and signed them first to EMI Parlophone.

In addition to helping to produce the albums, George Martin also helped to arrange any orchestral sounds that they needed. He also arranged all of the instrumental tracks that you hear in their movies such as “Yellow Submarine,” and “A Hard Day’s Night.” Some of which I use for my talk breaks during my show.

If you love his instrumentals, you’ll definitely love this album. At my local record store I saw this amongst the new “used vinyl” stacks. It was released in 1964 and featured instrumental arrangements of some of the most popular songs of The Beatles at the time. In fact, those instrumentals that made it onto the movie soundtrack can also be found here. It is a pretty rare find, but thankfully, fans have uploaded the album and tracks to YouTube to share and listen.

Happy 100th Birthday, George! ♥️

Remember to tune into Half Dead at 6 am this Sunday December 28th on 89.1 FM WFDU or streaming .fm HD1 - it's a half hour show where we are going to focus of live dead performances from one specific show each week - this Sunday we will go back to March 1974 - California’s Cow Palace.

This show marked the official debut of the Grateful Dead’s legendary Wall of Sound — an enormous and innovative PA system designed by Owsley “Bear” Stanley and crew that changed live sound engineering, even if it was soon retired due to cost and logistics.

The Grateful Dead is one big rabbit hole that is endless.
I really look forward to exploring it with you!!

So tune in every Sunday morning at 6 am to Half Dead!!!.
