"Nightflight" Tue May 6, 9P-12M ET: Live! Susaye Greene, Scherrie Payne & "Partners!

[kenneth]

Thanks Lulu. Dowloaded iTunes and TuneIn Radio on my mobile. Can't connect.

Tried Windows Media Player and Real Player on my computer. Can't connect.

I've never had problems listening to these shows before. I guess it's just not meant to be.

Send my regards to Miss Scherrie and Miss Susaye.

If you click on ONLINE, then you should get the pop-up. In the pop-up, replace your default player [[WMP or RP or whatever) by right clicking and substitute ITUNES there.

At that point you should get an ITUNES playlist with the song "STREAM" in the playlist. Position your cursor on the STREAM line, right click, and then select "PLAY STREAM."

That worked for me.

I can barely hear and understand Scherrie and Susaye

Same here. I think it's just a conference call which isn't being picked up and transmitted very well.

[thanxal]

20 Feet from Stardom is now on Netflix.

Lulu, in Itunes does it create a playlist with playlist.pls as a "song," in the playlist, after which you simple right click and indicate "play stream?" I'm trying that but it's not working that way for me.

On mine, I click the iTunes/WinAmp here [[http://www.womr.org/listen/online/) and the playlist automatically downloads to my computer. I then click on the playlist and it opens in iTunes and starts playing. See if that is any help.

[kenneth]

"Crumbs Off the Table" was a great Glass House song. Also there's a very surreal song about death called "Horseman Ride By" or something like that, which is quite unusual! There's a great hard to find CD set of the complete Glass House recordings which is very worth finding.

"Horse And Rider" from "Thanks I Needed That"

Scherrie, I sure wish you would remember me as you remember Jim. I've always been a fan since "Crumbs Off The Table" and was elated when you joined the Supremes. Love to both you and Susaye.

Do you mean ''Horse and Rider"?

[jayedsel]

Scherrie and Susaye on the Mike Douglas Show [[1979) singing "Leaving Me Was The Best Thing You've Done ".

Do you mean ''Horse and Rider"?

That's it. A very strange song. I've always thought Scherrie had more of a Broadway voice and this song is almost like a very eerie type of show tune.

[Lulu]

Thanks so much...I did get in and am enjoying this a lot!

Swell!!! You're welcome!

[carole cucumber]

Scherrie,

Did Betty Lavette ever remark about your using the name Scherrie Lavette on the composer credits to " The Easiest Way To Fall" and "Now Is The Time To Say Goodbye" which your sister Freda recorded for the "Band Of Gold" album?

[kenneth]

"Horse And Rider" from "Thanks I Needed That"

That's it...isn't it a strange song? Never heard anything like it on an album from that time frame.

[supremester]

Hey Johnny, I've been out of town but I'm so glad to be back for this show. I hear i missed two awesome nightflights, but i did see Miss Ross four times - each sensational. I'm going to try hard to see Scherrie & Susaye in July - how exciting to have partners LIVE! and extra wonderful of you to bring them to us! Thank you for your great shows! I get luggage for The Flos sometimes - they are all so sweet!

[carole cucumber]

Johnny, See post #64 for the Mike Douglas clip....

[sophisticated_soul]

I just lost the program. Anyone else?

[thanxal]

Yess!!!!! Please come to the east coast!

[sophisticated_soul]

I'm back on. Thank goodness!

[thanxal]

I've played this album for my college students when they come into class and they dance, dance, dance.

[supremester]

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Susaye live yet, but for those who have never seen Scherrie: she is amazing and lights up the stage! This show will be very very Supreme.

[luke]

For Scherrie-how is Cindy doing?Much love and support to Cindy.

[ejluther]

I can't get it to play in VLC or iTunes...bummer

[kenneth]

Did you try using what I did, see above in Post #51...?

[thanxal]

It was and IS still really good!

[supremester]

Dear Scherrie: don't EVER be sad - you are LOVED!!!!!!!! Partners rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lulu]

Scherrie, thank you for the update on Cindy! We love her!

[ejluther]

Yes, I did, Kenneth - nothing but I'll try again.

PS: I just tried again and it worked this time - thanks!

[carole cucumber]

Scherrie Lavette-From the liner notes to the Glasshouse Crumbs Off the Table The Invictus Sessions written by Howard Priestly.

The credits to both songs onFreda's invictus recordings state Lavette for "The Easiest Way to Fall" but Payne for "Now Is The Time To Say Goodbye"

[jayedsel]

I always heard Mary was forced to go Solo because of her husband Pedro Ferrar.

[thanxal]

Scherrie, you have so many people who love you, please never feel depressed. We love you!

It's not mentioned in Bettye's "book"?

[Glenpwood]

John,

Might Scherrie and Susaye be able to elaborate on any Partners bonus tracks still in the vaults or have any memory of anything left behind from the album sessions since Andy has intimated extra tracks were offered to Universal Japan?

[kenneth]

Yes, I did, Kenneth - nothing but I'll try again.

PS: I just tried again and it worked this time - thanks!

Fantastic!

[thanxal]

John,
Please remember to ask if they can come to the East Coast.
Thanks
Thanx Al

[carole cucumber]

The plot thickens.. in the interview for Freda's Invictus compilation, Freda states that "The Easiest Way To Fall' was written by 'an old schoolmate of mine who was married to Brian [[Holland)' so it looks as if Scherrie was not a composer of "The Easiest Way To Fall".

[rod_rick]

Can you ask the ladies about Joyce being their third member? Also was Cindy considered to be a third member and can you ask Scehrrie was Cindy or Susaye ever considered to be a replacement singer in the Flos/
Thanks
Rod

[carole cucumber]

Susaye [[and Scherrie) are beautiful jewels in shoes [[and out of shoes).

[kenneth]

Thanks
Rod

Did you hear when they discussed Joyce briefly? They said that they had rehearsed with her and she was excited about the prospect when the word came down "from on high" that the Supremes would not continue without at least one original member and the group would be retired.

[carole cucumber]

Cindy was originally invited to be in the Flos with Jean & Scherrie.

[luke]

I thought Scherrie said recently Cindy was going to replace Freddie Poole but it fell through. What did Susaye say about sales of Let yourself go cd? Couldnt hear her.

[Glenpwood]

Claude Mougin in the same time frame of shooting the Partners album cover shot the iconic album cover and insert images of Olivia Newton John's Totally Hot and Karen Carpenter's shelved solo album [[although that shot was later used for the Carpenters posthumous release Voice Of The Heart.)

[thanxal]

Oh thank gawd.

[rod_rick]

One of my favorite songs on the Partner cd is You've Been Good To Me" is that a duet or a Scherrie solo? Will that song be included in your set?

[jayedsel]

Carole is right about the writers credit for "Easiest Way To Fall". This type of thing is done all the time to [[name change of writer) to avoid paying a songwriter.

I've been listening and this is great and now more music!
