Nice words Arr&bee, thank you, but I'm far less a music authority than many here [[including yourself) although I do have a reasonable recall....assuming I knew the information in the first place, that is....LOL
Now, I wasn't aware we were talking SO much trash around here....!!:confused: Not intentionally, anyway. It's good to keep it light, and to keep it going...and the 'views' do indicate that some people are interested.
So, unless anyone here lets us know it is their birthday today, July 14th, let's all have a happy unbirthday.:)
-
Well west,one thing's for sure we sure keep things...unoffcial!!!
-
Yes, it's so unofficial, that it's official!
Today, July 15th, is officially Millie Jackson's birthday. So...."Anybody here don't like Millie Jackson.....etc, etc.." [[!)
If you like Linda Ronstadt, or are into artists like Rembrandt...well, it's their birthdays, too!
Whatever you are doing today, enjoy it...:)
-
I was with ol remy just last week,he's gonna open a studio in da hood.
-
The grand opening will be quiet.
Like Rembrandt, every one there has been dead nearly 350 years.
-
Umm west...exactly how old are you?????
-
I'm as old as my nose, and a little older than my teeth.
-
-
The time may soon come when I'm considerably older than some of my teeth......:rolleyes: LOL

-
Well, I thank you kindly,Arr&bee........but I'll just need to think some about your offer..:rolleyes:
In the meantime, today July 17th, we're remembering the great Jimmy Scott on his birthday....and, while doing that, also thinking of our own Soul Sister right here with us.
If you're reading this Jeanie, let the music play.....:)
BTW, how is Jive Five Mary G. doing these days?
Today, on their birthdays, we're also remembering the talents of former Temptation Damon Harris, James Cagney and Phyllis Diller...while Diahann Carroll is celebrating her 80th today.
Anyone else having a birthday today?
-
West, if howard cosell were here he might say...my fine sir you are an confirmination of the finality of factual activity.
-
If Howard Cosell had been here and said that, I'm not entirely sure I'd know what he meant.....LOL
Happy Birthday today, Martha Reeves! Currently here in the UK, singing live with her sisters Lois & Delphine on prime time national TV last night, and appearing this weekend at the Beat-Herder Festival in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire..with more dates to follow.
Among those also born on July 18th were Screamin' Jay Hawkins, born in Ohio, and who 'put a spell on us'.....South African world leader Nelson Mandela, and British entrepreneur Richard Branson.
Happy Birthday, everyone born on July 18th:)
-
It would've been a compliment.
-
I don't mind hearing something bad, if I know it's really the truth. At least then it's sincere....but compliments are quite OK with me, too.... LOL
July 19th, and Happy Birthday to Suzanne de Passe. She's certainly been successful in her field as producer, and has taken Motown from sound to screen, even if it seems that some details were omitted, overlooked, or amended in the process.
I've just realised.....While I've seen 'Motown 25 : Yesterday, Today, Forever', I have never actually seen the other productions with which she was involved, including 'The Temptations' mini-series. Should I....?
Happy Birthday, and enjoy your day, to anyone having their birthday, or remembering someone else's birthday, today. :)
-
Hey west,you really keep up with those birthdays,cool...if you love the temps[and i know you do]watch the movie, but keep your sense of humor close by,hehehe!!!
-
Ah yes, I think I get you, Arr&bee.
You mean, if I watch it eating potato chips, I should expect to need a pinch of salt......?
Do you recommend any of the other de Passe productions?
-
Actually ms,de passe did some things that were pretty good,i can't recall em but you can google em.
-
Yes, I think there were several, but seem to recall that Suzanne de Passe had a hand in presenting a series titled 'The Motown Revue' starring Smokey Robinson.
I guess that would be where he duetted with Mary Wells. The clip I've already viewed was good to see, but I'm unfamiliar with the whole series as, to my knowledge, it was not televised on this side of the Atlantic.
-
I think it was a summer series,but good.
-
July 20th.....
No Motown birthdays today that I know...but then, what DO I know....:confused:, so I would indeed be interested to know if anyone connected with Motown is celebrating their special day today.
Carlos Santana, Kim Carnes and [[Dame) Diana Rigg [[remember her as Emma Peel in 'The Avengers' from the 60s?) are all celebrating, and we also remember Natalie Wood today :)
-
Hey west,is diana rigg still with us? She was fine back in the day.
-
Yes, she celebrated her 77th today.
Diana Rigg [[Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire!) is currently playing Olenna Tyrell in HBO 'Game Of Thrones'.....
-
Right on good to hear...you all have alot of titles over there, i was bestoed some titles myself....king of misconduct-duke of dishonesty-master of misinformation-his royal lowness the earl of cheats...yeah west,royalty has it's place the queen wears her crown-the judge wears his robes.
-
I imagine you may have met quite a few judges in your time, Arr&bee.....:D
July 21st, and on this date were born Robin Williams, Don Knotts, Ernest Hemingway and Marshall McLuhan, all of whom have passed away - and also Cat Stevens, who hasn't....
Have a great day :)
-
Yes indeed i have and they all gave me a title and a written degree that states...if i ever see you in my courtroom again i'll sentence you to life without parole...i keep a copy in my trophy room.
-
Along with all the judges' heads on the wall...?
It's July 22nd and it's Chuck Jackson's birthday, which reminds me to play his Motown Anthology again. A lot of good performances of songs recorded by other artists on there, but not too many with quite the distinction of 'Any Day Now'...or did I miss something? I really like 'All Over The World' [[original version) which Chuck recorded for Ian Levine's NIghtmare/Motorcity labels.
Among everyone else sharing a birthday today are George Clinton [[Chuck is more my musical style...) and Don Henley of The Eagles.
Happy Birthday, everyone:)
-
I bet you got a copy of everybody's birth certifcates don't you,you british know how to secure those things don't be shy, does[hm]help you???hehehehe!!!
-
No birth certificates, just some information noted over the years of favourite people, and now currently checking for more details.
HM has asked President Obama for help in finding out when your own birthday may be. She doesn't seem curious about the actual year [[hint : but if it's before 1950, that makes you older than me) so, who knows, maybe she wants to honour you?
-
Oh no you don't...i don't even know how old[or young]i am and i like it like that..obama don't know either,he tried to get the records but they're sealed and locked far,far,far,far,far,far away not even the-c.i.a.-f.b.i.-nato-u.n.-the kremlin-nasa-unicef-mafia-p.t.a-naacp-ncaa-wmca-a.a.a.-twa-nba-nbc-cbs-the man from u.n.c.l.e.-agents of s.h.e.i.l.e.d.-santa claus-the wizard of oz-united nations-justice league of america...nobody gets that info...oh and nobody knows what i look like either..i'm black-that's as much as you get...bet you're related to that-sherlook hems..always snoopin!!!
-
Ha! Well now, I can certainly get by without knowing when your birthday is ...so, seeing as HM herself has two birthdays, we'll just say that you may like to have 365 birthdays every year [[even 366, some years) - or equally, none at all. And after all, none at all is much easier to remember.
You'd lose money on betting I'm related to Sherlock Holmes. He is a creation from fiction, and I'm most definitely created from fact. :)
-
...which proves that truth is stranger than fiction:)
-
I agree. Maybe I shouldn't....but I agree!
-
Hope Daniel Radcliffe can work up some Harry Potter magic for his birthday today, July 23rd...and remembering Philip Seymour Hoffman today, who would have been celebrating his 48th.....
Happy Birthday to everyone else who shares today :)
-
-
That's nice of you to say, Arr&bee...
[[thinks: " I wonder what he's after.....?":confused:)
-
Who me???...wink-wink,hehehehehehehehe!!!!!
-
Yes, you.......!:rolleyes:
So who do we have today, July 24th.....
Jennifer Lopez is celebrating her birthday today, born in 1969 [[I was in college!), as is 'Wonder Woman' Lynda Carter [[born in a different year from J. Lo....).
Remembering writer Alexandre Dumas [['The Count Of Monte Cristo', 'The Three Musketeers', and more...) who was born on this date, as was female aviator Amelia Earhart, who later disappeared on July 2nd, 1937, in circumstances which remain a mystery to this day.
Finally, lovely Ruth Buzzi, star of 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In', particularly as the character 'Gladys Ormphby', is having her own birthday, too.
Have a good day, all birthday people :)
-
Hey west i told greasy grady about you and he wants to bake you a cake..and one for moe too!!!
-
Thanks, but Ms Moe Superstar and myself would rather bake our own cake, and eat it too.
