Howdy, Motown Lovers and friends! Yes...."Nightflight" continues the Complete Motown Singles collection chronologically...we have broken into that amazing year 1970! And as the late Bill Drake said...."the hits just keep on coming"! Thanks to SDF's own rossholloway/Bobby Gardner, I am able to bring to you this amazing collection....thanks so much, Bobby! So do join me for this and a whole lot more...tonight...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org) Thanks TONS!

I'm looking forward to the show again tonight.

Hi John,

Looking forward to our trek through 1970 tonight. Will your lovely co-host Justine be making a special appearance as well?

I hope everyone took a hammer to their piggy bank this week to help with the pledge drive. Remember folks, even a fiver goes a long way to keep us in extended versions and interviews with our faves.

This ends my unsolicited plea for money on WOMR's behalf!

See everyone here at nine!
Glen

[Glenpwood]

It means college chart not continuing education charts for the older listeners, John and Justine;)

Actually, no Tammi Terrell in Get On Up, but still an excellent film

1970 was a very good year indeed! :cool:

G'morning John & all from hot and rainy London.

Sorry, Diana, [[as another thread has demonstrated) "Reach Out and Touch" is not a waltz.

[144man]

Ralph says "Reach Out And Touch" is 6/8 tempo.

Sorry Mike. 6/8. you guys, Berry might have called songs a waltz and Diana also, and I realize it is rather difficult to pick up on, but these songs are all in 6/8 time which really seems to mimic awaltz time. On the song above, listen to the foot[[bass drum), count in time, starting with one and you will notice the bass drum doesn't return until you reach the one count again.

Speaking of Vanity, if she reunites with Prince in 2028 to make a new CD they can name it after her age, Vanity 69 :D

It will never happen though.... She is a devout Christian now....

Are we ever going to get the unreleased "Ivy Jo Is In This Bag" album?

[supremester]

My sister stories beat y'all!
I wish to pledge the same as last year - do you have the info?
Go 1970!!!!!!!!!!!

[supremester]

I think Levi does a magnificent vocal on that - it's a tough job for his voice to nail that song, and it blows me away. just sayin'........... ; )

[supremester]

Johnny Bristol was promised a shot at both follow ups to Someday - and this was his submission for Diana. Life Beats for JMC

[supremester]

These Things not only has him on it vocally like Someday - but the bass lick is the same.

[midnight johnny]

Gregg.....thank you!!

[supremester]

Dark Sidfe Of The World was cut for Marvin & Tammi, but Tammi never did her vocal, and Valeri didn't cover it for her

Thanks, Gregg.....now that you mention that I do remember. Man....if only Tammi had a chance on that one.....

[supremester]

I always wanted Miss Ross to record Free Again as a bitter blues song........i LOVE this song. Babs does it well, Martha has a killer dance track on it also

[144man]

Good vocal performance by Rustix on Free Again. I like the group.

[supremester]

yes, excellent!

[franjoy56]

Thanks, Gregg.....now that you mention that I do remember. Man....if only Tammi had a chance on that one..... midnight johnny icame in on your show during th last hour, and I just caught the last song u played the extended version of up the ladder to the roof, on what cd is this version on iam in awe I never heard it before and was unaware the had an extended version. I must tune in next tuesday on tme. I love the jmc supremes. This would have been a bigger hit if it was released I believe.

Dawn is breaking, so it must be time for bed. Good night, John and everyone.
