Episode #116: Just Let It Happen

This is the last business-as-usual 2-hour Star Time until Labor Day. Next week's show will feature a Dr. John tribute, and after that it'll be 10 straight weeks of Star Time Summer Specials in which we attempt themed content to manipulate the ratings. But this week's '60s R&B bonanza is no less special than any of those. Like a doctorate program in any subject except American political science, it spans an entire decade. Pencils down!
