Time for a cryin' song...

Frankie Miller is an old favourite of mine - man, what a voice!

@cody
I see your Frankie Miller and raise you Ella Fitzgerald!

[Cody]

Looks like we got us a high roller here!
I'll see your Ella Fitzgerald, and raise you Albert King...

[Geraldine]

Call!

EDIT: had to update the video

[Cody]

Georgia, eh? Rainy Night in Georgia, perhaps? Or maybe...

[Geraldine]

Damn it Cody! Fold!

If I remember right, that song follows Venus In Furs on that album. They don't make em like that anymore.

I recall those days, as a kid listening on a cheap transistor radio, so well.
In a later incarnation, Radio Caroline used this as their theme music:
