I'm sure that most of the masses are familiar with Be Your Man, and quite possibly Xavier's Work That Sucker To Death, along with the vocalists on the track that should sound familiar. I then follow up with two tracks that were much more popular in England than they were here in the US (and that were unfamiliar to me until now)- Gary's Gang's Knock Me Out and Windjammer's Tossing and Turning. Oran 'Juice' Jones breaks through with another tune injected with humor, Rock The Night Away.

Debra Laws' On My Own (yet another solid track I was unfamiliar with) and Roy Ayers' Poo Poo La La is follwed by yet another solid track that didn't receive a lot of play, Knockin', from the On Target CD. Phyllis' When You Get Right Down To It and The Brothers Johnson's Strawberry Letter 23 is followed by Billy Ocean's Whatever Turns You On from Nights (Feel Like Getting Down). The Sylvers' Falling For Your Love, from Bizarre. We then end with a solid track - with a fantastic duet - from Switch II, Calling On All Girls. and Strawberry Letter 23.

In the podcast, I give a little more detail about Switch, Windjammer, and more. If you're so inclined, take a listen. Special thanks to TGrundy for a lil' help in this one (as usual), G-Fresh, and Yvonne. For those who'd like to subscribe to these podcasts, enter this link manually into iTunes.
