CD SHOWCASE MEMORIES

PROGRAM ALERT:
Starting next Saturday, this theme will featured several Holiday tunes! Are you ready?

Today, 2 songs from my 02/09/1996 (Friday) “CD Showcase” (12p-1p) college radio show: Billy Crash Craddock’s “Rub It In” & Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again”. Also featured: a Cadillac sedan, photographed by OC,SHer JAY B at Top Notch Hamburgers’ Hot Rod Night, Austin TX, 08/06/2016….

#1
“Rub It In”
Billy Crash Craddock
I suppose it depends on your mood whether this song is “fun” or “sensual” … or both! Whichever it is, this single debuted 06/01/1974 & spent 16 weeks on the country charts, 2 of those at #1; it crossed over & reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Known as “Mr Country Rock”, this Greensboro NC-native singer-songwriter-guitarist had 2 other country chart toppers: 1974-5’s “Ruby, Baby” & 1976-7’s “Broken Down In Tiny Pieces” … but neither had the reach of this song. Craddock’s country career spanned early 1971 to the mid 1980s, with over 40 releases, including 16 additional Top 10 tunes. Before that career, though, he had formed the rock band the Four Rebels with his brother, Ronald, in 1957.

#2
“Here You Come Again”
Dolly Parton
As with many artists, it would take quite a few weeks for me to showcase all of my favorites of hers. This song hit the airwaves 10/15/1977 & spent 19 weeks on the country charts, claiming #1 for 5 straight weeks; it crossed over & reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks. Later, it won the Female Vocal Grammy. This Locust Ridge TN-native singer-songwriter-guitarist-actress career started January 1967 … & hasn’t stopped. She was a regular on Porter Wagoner’s TV show (1967-1974) & then branched out on her own. She starred in several movies: ‘9 To 5’ (based on her song of the same name), ‘The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas’, ‘Steel Magnolias’ & ‘Straight Talk’ (featured HERE previously). Among many other familiar favorite tunes: 1974’s “All I Will Always Love You” (#1; also topped the charts in 1982), 1980’s “Starting Over Again” (#1), 1982-3’s “Hard Candy Christmas” (#8), 1985’s “Don’t Call It Love” (#3), 1985-6’s “Think About Love” (#1) & 1989’s “Why’d You Come In Here Lookin’ Like That” (#1).
