SOB 386 - Featured artists: More George Benson, Melvin Sparks, Don Covay, Mongo Santamaria, more Quincy Jones, Billy Stewart, Lee Oskar & Jerry Jemmott. PLUS my (weekly) frightening & exploding ($3.39 + gasoline price) reminder from NRBQ; who wrote & sang about 1979's gas, oil, energy & INFLATION crisis (FOUR +) decades ago! As Yogi Berra would say: "It's déjà vu all over again." I say: HIGH ENERGY PRICES SUCK!
