    Excellent Reception with lil’dave | Do The Tighten Up

    On today's episode of Excellent Reception, we are looking at a song that, for whatever reason, inspired a seemingly endless stream of reinterpretations.  It was a number one hit in the 1960's, but it still has a way of getting the dancing floor moving after all of these years.  This song is "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and The Drells.   On this episode, we feature  these songs: Archie Bell and The Drells - "Tighten Up pt. 1" Archie Bell and The Drells - "Tighten Up pt. 2" The Classmates version of "Tighten Up" Benny Gordon & The Soul Brothers "Tighten Up" Billy Ball & the Upsetters with Roosevelt Matthews - Tighten Up Tighter Maceo with the Flames - "Tighten Up" Chris Columbus and the Swingin Gaites with "Tighten Up '70" Al Escobar & His Orchestra - "Tighten Up" Orchestra Harlow with "Horsin' Up" The New York Latin Scene With Sonny Bravo - "Tighten Up" The Grateful Dead - "Tighten Up Jam" Yo La Tenga - "Tighten Up" R.E.M. - "Tighten Up" Nazz - Loosen Up Yellow Magic Orchestra - “Tighten Up (Japanese Gentleman Stand Up Please)” Wally Jump Jr. & The Criminal Element - “Tighten Up (I Just Can’t Stop Dancin’),” ?????? - "Tighten Up"

    Excellent Reception with lil’dave | Rhythm Kings

    On this episode, we are going to explore a few rhythm & blues classics that combine the sound of groove box drum machines with bare bones melodies and multi-track recording techniques to produce one of the more niche sounds of 70's soul music.   We will be looking at these songs:   Sly & The Family Stone - Family Affair Little Sister - Somebody's Watching You Shuggie Otis - Aht Uh Mi Hed Timmy Thomas- Why Can't We Live Together Little Beaver - Party Down George McCrae - Rock Your Baby
