Episode #145: Don't Knock It

More hits from the Star Time Sweet Spot™, that era between the mid-'60s and mid-'70s when R&B really started getting some of the premium parking spaces near the foyer. So much unspoiled virtue in this week's lineup. Mmmm, virtue. This episode also sees the beginning of a multi-week health crisis, although obviously I didn't know it at the time. It'll really start scraping against my forbearance on next week's show, so that's something to look forward to.
