Star Time #29: Come to My House for Lunch



The odd title comes from a song by Union, which I appropriately found on a series of compilations put out by Numero Group under the umbrella moniker Eccentric Soul. Quite a few songs from the first hour of this episode come from that series, which I've thoughtfully arranged into a Spotify playlist which you can play in your own spare time. Highlights from the whole show include a pre-Philly Int'l Kenny Gamble, a wonderful disco song about psychic phenomena from Four Below Zero, and a fond recollection of Eunice Collins' "At the Hotel," a classic Song Of The Day from the past. Ah, the past.
