Episode 363: Mom, Won't You Teach Me To Monkey

That Driving Beat this week brings you two similar-sounding midtempo Northern steppers about urban life in the ever-changing, anonymous concrete city. One is a sought-after valuable rarity in the scene, while the other hasn't found much love even with its more uplifting message. We love them both! We also spin some classics that the discerning rare soul scenesters might say they're sick of hearing, at least one big chart hit with a B-side worth attention, 2 favorites from Bobby Bland, a much more in this week's radio dance party! -Originally broadcast June 1, 2025- Willie Mitchell / That Driving BeatAaron Neville / Why WorryGloria Jones / Tainted LoveInez & Charlie Foxx / (1-2-3-4-5-6-7) Count the DaysThe O'Jays / I'll Never Forget YouThe Malibus / Ten Times a DayTony Clarke / Landslide Allison and Calvin Turner / Shake What Your Mamma Gave YouThe Valentines / BreakawayWilmer & The Dukes / Heavy TimeCoasters / Love Potion Number NineBetty Lavette / I Feel Good (All Over)Bobby Bland / I Pity the FoolShirley Brown / I've Got to Go On Without YouBobby Bland / ShoesTimothy Carr / Love My LoveDean Parrish / Bricks, Broken Bottles and SticksBobby Allen Poe / Concrete JungleBonnie Lou / 24 Hours of LonelinessLarry & The Mighty Storms / Eldorado SuziePeggy March / If You Loved Me (Soul Coaxing-Ame Caline)Four Tops / The KeyLaura Greene / Moonlight Music In YouBettye Swann / Lonely LoveSusan Rafey / Hurt So BadThe Endeavors / I Know You Don't Want MeAl Kent / The Way You Been Acting LatelyPic & Bill / It's Not YouLou Johnson / If I Never Get To Love YouLittle Emmett Sutton / Mom, Won't You Teach Me To MonkeyDeon Jackson / Love Makes The World Go RoundThe Intruders / Every Day is a HolidayJohnny Nash / Love Ain't Nothin'Chet "Poison" Ivey And His Fabulous Avengers / In A Little WhileAnna King / Mama's Got a Bag of Her OwnNina Simone / It Be's That Way SometimeBilly Joe Royal / Heart's DesireMaurice & the Radiants / I Gotta Dance To Keep My BabyBob Kayli / Tie Me Tight Hosted on Acast.
