Episode #30: No Brags Just Facts


Meat and potatoes. That's what we have for you this week. A Star Time that delivers what every normal, healthy Star Time delivers. My social media strategist tells me to use the word "robust" but I think that sounds too much like a '70s ad for Folger's Coffee. Your R&B highlights for this week include an investigative threat, pre-Philly O'Jays, an eel, a snake, a mule, a Tommy James cover, and a lament about being human floor covering. Plus James Brown.
