Episode #90: Sometimes It's Got to Rain

A Thanksgiving spread of '70s R&B numbers that are relatively, but not entirely, obscure, or at least not consistently at the forefront of anyone's minds, possibly excepting the people who made them, unless of course they're expired. But we're doing our best to change that in today's show, or at least shove the needle in a bit more of an upward direction, or make them a little more memorable, although I thought they were memorable enough to begin with, or else they wouldn't be on this show. And that's how you make a word salad, amateurs. Happy Thanksgiving!
