This Week's
"DEEP DIVE"
TOO MUCH TALK - Mark: "Like many people of my generation, I was concerned about the war in Vietnam. I subscribed to the Los Angeles Times and scanned it every morning with my coffee. And it seemed like I saw the same old headlines and editorials every day about the troubles we were in, but there seemed to be no solutions…a lot of talk, but very little action. So, when CBS asked me to produce a song for the Raiders, and I had to write one suddenly, this was in the back of my mind. As usual, when I’m under pressure, a shower seems to knock loose a few neurons, and Too Much Talk was born."
WILD NIGHT - Mark played Martha Reeve's version of the song from Thelma and Louise on the show today. Quentin Tarantino once said no one could look cooler in a car than the guy who also appears in this clip.
MO’REEN - CBS International had a great deal of autonomy, and there were many releases of Mo’Reen as a single (not to mention an EP) around the world, including one version where Mark sings in Spanish and the track is different. About the only place on the planet where Mo’Reen WASN’T released as a single was in the USA. Scroll down to see a video featuring the Spanish version of the song, plus a photo of the pool at Cielo that Maureen/Mo'Reen "borrowed" from time to time.

LOVE MUSIC - On today’s show, Mark told the story of how he and the 4 Tops began working on their versions of the song at the same time, unbeknownst to each other. The Tops version came out late in 1972 on their Keeper of the Castle album, while the Raiders’ version came out in early 1973 as a single. Mark intended the song to be part of the Raiders next album, which was never released and has become known as The Lost Album.
Scroll down to hear both the Raiders and the 4 Tops' versions of LOVE MUSIC.
