Star Time #166: Night Train


A meat-and-potatoes episode, or if you prefer, a bulgur-and-millet episode, featuring some rare R&B enchantments from 1963 to 1969. I've included a couple of popular hits as well and have begun addressing the Drifters deficit Star Time has experienced over the last four years. Come to think of it, there's also been a Dells deficit which this show addresses in its own meager way as well. We're getting around to everyone so please keep your number handy. Proof of current residence is always helpful too.
