Hi there, you're right on time. Welcome aboard!
We'd like you to come on and groove with us
for the next 60 minutes, and we don't care
about your color or size. You see, we never
scrutinize. If you're black... you know you're
beautiful. If you're brown, yellow or white...
you're still outta sight, so let's get down on it!
And we are super stoked to begin today's ride with three gorgeous and gifted
California bred ladies who gained national fame almost immediately after their
debut single was released, a song that features the voice of the trio's creator
and producer Barry White. As they join us to do their hit on the Uni label
entitled "Walkin' In The Rain With The One I Love," a warm welcome
please, gang, for these extraordinary canaries-- Love Unlimited!

aboard the big train the gentlemen
responsible for what certainly has
to be one of the biggest records

And here's a sound comin' out of Philly
that's a sho' 'nuff dilly. We are delighted
to welcome back a lovely and talented
singer who exploded onto the music
scene a few years ago with the disco
hit "Shame." Today she's back to do
a song entitled "Get Loose" - her
latest single on the RCA label and
the title track of her new album that's
currently topping the R&B chart.
A big time welcome, if you will,
for the incredible-- Evelyn King!

for good measure.
