Rhythm Club - Tribute to Brian Eagan Brian Eagan

2020-09-27 Studio CatThe WGAM studio was Brian's happy place. In honor of his Birthday, I'm posting one of Brian's "Morning Shows" for WGAM.

There are two gems from Lee Dorsey, "Working in a Coalmine" and "Ride Your Pony" and there's some James Brown and Aretha. What's not to like? I decided early that my favorite female Motown singer was Martha Reeves, so I love hearing her in this show. I think Brian's favorite was Mary Wells, much more soulfu...

This show, Planet Lavender, was explicitly for gay and lesbian interest: music by women, love songs sung by men about men or by women about women.
