Star Time #204: Eighty Hour Week
Anytime I do an all-'60s episode, break out the abacus. The songs are much shorter than ones from the '70s, so I shoehorn as many of them in as I can. It's akin to hoarding, I suppose, but it's a victimless cram. This episode contains 39 quick-moving R&B classics from the '60s. Shimmy or waddle on in and have yourself a time.
