As our boys came home from World War II, they were welcomed back with this number one hit from 1945 that perfectly captured the sentiments of those who remained home while their loved ones were away. It’s a perfect record in every way. You’d be hard pressed to find a better vocalist than Crosby to […]
Song Of The Day – “Turn To White” by She & Him
Music critics crack me up. They’re always looking for something to dis about a record in order to validate their jobs as critics. And, I suppose at times I am no different than the rest. Nothing is ever just great, some fault must be found in order to have something to say. I guess without […]
Song Of The Day – “Around The Way Girl” by LL Cool J
“Don’t Call It A Comeback, I been here for years…,” so begins the title cut from the 4th album called Mama Said Knock You Out by James Todd Smith…aka Ladies Love Cool J…aka LL Cool J. And back in the day in my hood, the strains of LL could be heard emanating from booming systems […]
3D Poor Radio
I’m everybody’s Uncle Marty, with you on The Award Winning 3D RadioActivity for the 513th time. There are 308 instances of the POOR in scripture.

Song Of The Day – “Love Is Blue” by Paul Mauriat
We’ve all heard about the British Invasion in rock music that took place in the early 1960s, but what about the late ‘60s French Invasion? Never heard of it? That’s because it consisted of only one record by one artist. OK, technically you could argue that Petula Clark was also part of the French Invasion, […]
Song Of The Day – “Chances Are” by Johnny Mathis
Fluff piece…or Pure Pop For Then People… Smooth and intimate. Those are adjectives you don’t hear that often to describe much of the music being made today. But there was a time when smooth and intimate was the basis for an entire genre of music. I’m talking about Pop Music. Pop music of the pre-rock […]
Song Of The Day – “Where Life Begins” by Madonna
Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Where Life Begins” by Madonna It’s a dirty little song…from a dirty little record! “My name is Dita, I’ll be your mistress tonight…” so began Madonna’s fifth and most artistically accomplished record with this introduction from “Erotica,” its title track. In it, Madonna took on the alter […]
Song Of The Day – “Pusher Love Girl” by Justin Timberlake
Growing up in public is nothing new. Sammy Davis, Jr. did it. So did Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Heck, even Justin Bieber’s doing it now. Some have handled it better than others, and while it’s probably not the easiest thing to do, there are some that make it seem effortless. Justin Timberlake is one […]

Song Of The Day – Mad Men Double Header – “Don’cha Go ‘Way Mad” by Frank Sinatra and “Wives And Lovers” by Jack Jones
I know I’ve featured both of these classics before, but with the return of Mad Men to our TV screens for a new season, they both seemed appropriate to feature again. The first song is the epitome of the early seasons of Mad Men by America’s favorite playboy of the time. Back in 1962, Frank […]
