Deep- Jules Shear
Expressway To Your Heart- Soul Survivors
Friday Night, Saturday Morning- The Specials
Tell It To The Rain- 4 Seasons
Make Believe- Joan Jett
I'm Goin' Down- Bruce Springsteen
Tanqueray- Johnnie Johnson
"Tanqueray" has always hit the spot for me - the tune not the liquor - as I just love his tickling of the old ivories on this one. Every time I pick it to play it's guaranteed to lift the spirits (again, not the liquor) and get the toes tapping - although the expression "I'm just getting out my Johnnie Johnson" sounds like a euphemism for something else altogether! Great week's songs - cheers! And no, not the liquor...
Grrrrreat SOTW mix, Sal. The Specials track (b-side of Ghost Town) killed me. Loved every other song as well and topping it off with a little drink of Tanquery! Ooh baby.....
Sal,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy and appreciate the Songs of the Week. This week's collection is exceptional!
Many thanks and stay warm!

Oops, I just realized I spelled it wrong. Tanqueray, yes, the liquor. Cheers indeed!
ReplyDeleteGreat SOTW as usual. Remember Expressway by Mike Finnigan, another good gem of a cover.
ReplyDelete"I'm Goin' Down" is my favorite Bruce radio hit - oddly mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteGreat Johnnie Johnson track and absolute winner. Thanks for the share.
