	🍷 8:10pm DP: Will we be treated to a certain tune that our king (my avatar) bounced around on a Hoppity Horse to? I think it was a hit...
	8:10pm Becky: Ray Charles always makes me think of my Oma, who learned English listening to the radio in Oklahoma. She was a huge RC fan.
	8:11pm Mr. Fine Wine: It's quite possible, DP. I do have one ready to go shortly that definitely graced our homemade dangling-mic TV cassettes.

	8:29pm Becky: Never figured out how this was meant to go and always just did Miss Mary Mack. Is it the same?
	8:29pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: Floor fillers...
	8:30pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: "...we know a Pat who can really do the Cool Jerk..."
	8:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Mr. Fine Wine and soulies.
	8:32pm ultradamno: Originally called Cool Pimp, about pimps at the local dance who would be out on the dance floor to be with the girls but were too cool to do the jerk like everyone else. The Capitols were talked out of the title over reasonable fears it wouldn't have been a hit with such a connection in the material.
	8:33pm Uncle Michael: hey hey
	8:33pm wind: Greg g I totally agree
	8:33pm ultradamno: Is there any recording of the pimp version though, is the big question...
	8:33pm Becky: Producer for once was right
	🍷 8:34pm DP: Plastic Skeleton dancing on a string to Green Onions on Sir Graves Ghastly had me entertained for a few minutes. Still does.
	8:34pm Uncle Michael: I played Green Onions today in a set of hits that were originally released as b-sides.
	8:34pm Betsy O: I do remember dancing to the Cool Jerk while in high school in Detroit in 1966,… it was a magical time to live in that city during the height of Motown!
	8:35pm Carmichael: Dan Penn song! Heya MFW.
	8:36pm wind: dreamyandseedy there’s nothing like listening live I feel…
	8:37pm Parq: This is a real sing-along show.
	8:39pm dave miss: Betsy O you were in the right place at the right time
	8:39pm Baja Joe: Hey ya'll
	8:41pm wind: Hey Matt …one day I would love to go from New Jersey to New Orleans. Never had the pleasure!
	🍷 8:42pm DP: Damn I love this song. Another cover that i learned about thanks to Finewine!
	8:43pm Matt from New Orleans: Definitely somewhere worth visiting in the US wind
	8:44pm Nate K.: Had no idea this was such a big hit, #7 pop.
	8:44pm Carmichael: Ugh!
	8:44pm Becky: YES
	8:45pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whatcha ughin bout, Carmichael? Don't dig the hits?
	8:45pm Betsy O: @Dave Miss,… oh yes, free concerts outside Hudson’s Department Store in Downtown with the Four Tops, Smoky Robinson, Marvelettes and the Temptations,… ‘twas a fun dancing time, where we really did do dancing in the streets!
	8:45pm Uncle Michael: Matt from NOLA you know Rubenstein's down on Charles Street?
	8:46pm Parq: Nate, I remember hearing it on top 40 radio. I can say that about pretty much all the tracks being played tonight, which tells you everything you need to know about how much top 40 radio has changed.
	8:46pm Nate K.: "Yes that one in a million girl."
	8:47pm Theo: Great choice for a concept for a show and as always your song choices are EXCELLENT!
	8:48pm Carmichael: I was ughing with the singer, man. Ugh!
	8:48pm Uncle Michael: When this starts I never know if I'm gonna hear MFW talk over Young-Holt, or Barbara Acklin sing.
	8:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Yes Uncle Michael. They’re going to open a boutique hotel in the upper floors of a few buildings they own around that corner sometime next year after Mardi Gras.
	8:48pm Listener Jumpy in Brooklyn: He never quite knows when to go "Ugh!"
	8:50pm Uncle Michael: Very cool. Andres Rubenstein was a fraternity brother of my dad. They were in the same ZBT pledge class at Penn in 1956. Maybe dad and I should go stay there!
	🍷 8:50pm DP: Me Too!
	8:50pm wind: Wow🙏🏾
	8:52pm Uncle Michael: This Smokey is a perfect record.
	8:52pm Parq: Do you think they told Michael what that song was about before he cut it?
	8:52pm Nate K.: Stevie Wonder wrote the organ hook on this, right?
	8:53pm ultradamno: There should be more ballads about killer rats
	8:54pm Matt from New Orleans: Seems like a very niche subject UD
	8:54pm onthetrain: Good job tonight mr fine wine !
	8:54pm Andres: The person who bought Ben was too young for fine wine . So he was Mr ?
	8:54pm Greg g: You said it Uncle Michael! Love this song so much
	8:55pm Andres: Also, as a young person I thought this was an English Beat original.
	8:55pm mariano: Not to be confused with the bawdy song "Ben Wah."
	🍷 8:55pm DP: Nailed it!
	8:56pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks MFW
	8:56pm Uncle Michael: They didn't tell Michael that Ben was a rat, and when he recorded "I'll Be There" they didn't explain the word "pact" to him.
	8:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, MFW!
	8:58pm Betsy O: Thanks Dr. Fine Wine for taking me back to Woodward Avenue and up to WestGrand Boulevard in a magical time!
	8:59pm Greg g: Thanks Mr. Fine 🍷
	8:59pm Annette: Thank you Mr Fine 🍷 Wine!
	9:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mr. Fine Wine! Hits were felt. We had friends over so I wasn't on the board, but we was listening!
	3:36pm Michael 98145: Gotta say it's great to hear all these tracks again ...
