Star Time #188: Lay It On Me Right Now
Star Time episodes that air toward the end of the year tend to be free-for-alls in which I rifle through mounds of heretofore unplayed tracks and throw them on the wall to see which ones stick, just so I can get to my seasonal nog-drinking, gift-wrapping and prank-call-making in one piece. This show's not much of an exception, covering R&B from 1958 to 1974. Stay near your phone.
