Bob's Intro Songs

Whenever Bob Stroud comes back from commercial break, which, unfortunately is very often, he plays a song that was also being played back then, but one that he isn't going to play in its entirety.  He usually tells you the song and artist and sometimes gives that extra little tidbit of info that makes his show so good.  Sadly, though, not all the time does he name the song and artist.

Here are the ones he did on his June 2nd show:

BARRY WHITE--  He was funky and chunky and probably could do the monkey. ( Loved that description.  Stroud didn't tell the name of the song, however.  I recognize Barry White songs but sure can't name them.)

THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN GEORGIA--  VICKI LAWRENCE--  She took time off from "The Carol Burnett Show" to record her one and only hit.

PILLOW TALK--  SYLVIA--  Of Mickey and Sylvia from the 1950s, her first time out solo.

MONSTER MASH--  BOBBY "BORIS' PICKETT--  This song was ten-and-a-half years old at this time.  Some record company exec got the bright idea to rerelease it and before the summer's out it is in the Top Ten again.  (I didn't remember it being out again in 1973.  What was I listening to?  And, it wasn't even Halloween.)
