Star Time #208: Whip! Whop!

A gavotte through the 1970s, plus one discreet dip into the 1980s, awaits you on this episode of your presumed favorite R&B oldies show. Featuring cradle-rocking, uncomfortable age-rationalizing, long-form pun-making, dancing-slash-prancing, teenage-language-talking, whipping-cum-whopping, and more hyphens.
