"Nightflight" Tue Aug 25, 9P-12M ET: Motown....Rare To Radio!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy there, Motown lovers! Tonight...on "Nightflight"...I'll be playing for you ONLY Motown...yeah...it's been a while! But one must occasionally cleanse the palate to appreciate what one loves MOST! The Motown played will be mostly, if not all, Motown that is rare to radio...album tracks, material not released until well after it's date of production, and "B" sides.
So join me for marvelous Motown not often heard on the air...tonight...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and webcasting live worldwide at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org) See you on the radio! Thanks! John

[midnight johnny]

[Hi Johnny Im in Orleans so 111 Be listening lo every drop u play on my friends radio Right On...

Franjoy....how nice....you're just up the road!! Glad to see you!!!

[carole cucumber]

[midnight johnny]

Johnny, you silly boy, of course I'm here.

Well...that's damn lovely of you.....howdy, Carole!!!

[144man]

I'm so thankful for hearing "Sweeter As The Days Go By".

[johnjeb]

You're welcome!!!

Don't recall that song.

[carole cucumber]

"Sweeter As the Days Go By" by Marvin was first on 'From The Vaults' on the Natural Resources label. Robb Klein & Tom Depierro had hoped that this would have been at least a 10 lp series.

[midnight johnny]

You're welcome!!!

Don't recall that song.


You gave me a copy of the varied artist cd...with Kiki 's album too...most appreciative!

[midnight johnny]

I'm so thankful for hearing "Sweeter As The Days Go By".

My pleasure...

[carole cucumber]

Since you mention Kiki Dee, how about her version of Johnny Raven and, as turn-about-is-fair-play, the Jean Terrell led version of The Day Will Come Between Sunday and Monday?

[midnight johnny]

I think that's a great idea...and I will certainly do it...thanks, Carole!

[midnight johnny]

Fun to make one more of these while listening to the show . . .

9883

Great one..with my FAVORITE SUPES!!! I'll play a JMC just for the endeavor...thanks, Bruce!

[144man]

How could Brenda's "After All That You've Done" stayed unreleased for so long? Criminal!

[johnjeb]

You gave me a copy of the varied artist cd...with Kiki 's album too...most appreciative!

I remember making some cassette tapes for you, but can't remember what was on them.

Was in Ptown last week for the parade - so hot - but better than snow!

Forgot to listen to you on the radio last week when I was in Yarmouth. Not sure if I can get you over the airwaves.

Speaking of forgetfulness, the previous week the Tempts and Tops were in Hyannis at the Melody Tent. I had been meaning to check the date they were there so I could go - my schedule is open since I retired in July. Unfortunately and unknowingly, I left the Cape the night they were performing - I could have waited to leave the next morning - damn. Haven't seen either group in years - it would have been fun to check them out.

I'll be back in Ptown before summer is over - hoping to see Varla Jean Merman - haven't seen her in a few years - always fun - remember when I dragged you to her show.

Love Tata "Full Speed Ahead".

[carole cucumber]

Nathan Jones??????

[midnight johnny]

Nathan Jones??????

I know!! hahahaha

Oh, yes, I have that album. Wasn't very fond of it, that's probably why I forgot the Marvin song. A 10 album series would have been interesting back then, although maybe they needed a stronger volume 1. We now know they had better selections in the vaults.

I've always preferred Kiki's version of Johnny Raven.

[carole cucumber]

Yikes! Had to amend the url!

[[I wonder how many times DaVinci had to touch up Mona?!)

I wonder if he got slapped? .............Look but don't touch

[Methuselah2]

TOUCH
The Supremes

[[Oops. Wrong thread. Sorry.)

[carole cucumber]

Do you have Marvin & Kim's "Love Fell On Me"?

[carole cucumber]

TOUCH
The Supremes

[[Oops. Wrong thread. Sorry.)

And Just whose CURLs were you amending? C, J, or M?

[Methuselah2]

And for my next number, I will:

- Make a necktie rack; or
- Make a clay ashtray; or
- Dive into a crab salad.

[Methuselah2]

And Just whose CURLs were you amending? C, J, or M?

Carole - You're wiggin' out. But I like it!

[midnight johnny]

Do you have Marvin & Kim's "Love Fell On Me"?
No...but I found one.....

[carole cucumber]

And for my next number, I will:

- Make a necktie rack; or

If you do all 3 simultaneously while coming out unscathed, we'll all be impressed.
But, please don't hit your head nor get a social disease as a result of that stunt.

I used to love it back in the 60s when radio stations would repeat a song that was very popular.

[midnight johnny]

Yeah...I'll repeat the Lewis Srs! Actually...thank you for this John!!!! I really am charmed by them!!

[carole cucumber]

Can't you just picture the ladies/sisters in the echo chamber? They probably wished that they had one in their classroom.

[144man]

The only Lewis Sisters records I really like are "Break Away" and "He's An Oddball". I still haven't heard "Balloons".

[carole cucumber]

How about "He's An Oddball" by the Lewis Sisters? i just love the way they stretch out the word oddball.

[carole cucumber]

Do you have Marvin & Kim's "Love Fell On Me"?

Thank you immensely ...
but I thought you indicated that you didn't have it?
What a pleasant surprise!!

[midnight johnny]

Glad you asked! I enjoyed that...don't know it well...

[carole cucumber]

No Jr. Walker & the All Stars? How about Cool Cool Baby from Cellarful Vol 4.

[carole cucumber]

Thanks for choosing the stereo version of Kim's "You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me"

[carole cucumber]

I'm still convinced that's The Lewis Sisters with Wanda on this album cover!

9886

Yeah, but who do you suppose the two girls riding them are in the photo? O.k. I'll go to the time-out corner for the comeback.

[144man]

Thanks for playing the Shirelles' "Last Minute Miracle"...er, sorry, I mean Kim Weston's "You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me":)

[midnight johnny]

Thanks for choosing the stereo version of Kim's "You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me"
I will most always choose stereo...unless the mono is really rare or different from the stereo [[besides being stereo ...*grin)

[carole cucumber]

That instrumentation just flowed so perfectly after Reflections on the album. Perfect placement. In fact there was a certain feel/effect until 'In and Out Of Love'

George Kerr is the first name listed as composer on both versions. There must be quite a story there.
144 man ..what can you tell us?

[Methuselah2]

Carole - I wish I knew the answer to that one, too, but I haven't been the same since I saw the photo at the very top of this thread--particulary Mary's gray hosiery with those copper-colored shoes. That's art, and Mary did it. Beautiful.

[144man]

I think it was just too good a tune to waste, so he rewrote the song when he left Motown.

[Methuselah2]

Now, Carole, I'm already anticipating your next question--but I have no idea if the pantyhose were control-top or not.

[144man]

Getting songs as good as Brenda Holloway's "I See A Rainbow" justified signing the Lewis Sisters. Were they really school teachers or was that just a publicity stunt?

[midnight johnny]

[carole cucumber]

Richard Tee is listed as arranger for both the Shirelle's Last Minute Miracle & Alice Clark's You Hit Me Right here It Hurt Me

Gosh, can you believe it--one more quick touch up! Had COD as CODE.

A most enjoyable night, John.
The music was wonderfully RARE.
And the show was so WELL-DONE.
And fun!
And you can dance to it, too!
Many thanks.

It's strange how late at night the old eyes can play tricks on ya'.
Looking again at the initial photo that promoted this thread- and specifically the faces....there something Aretha-ish about Cindy and Florence LaRue Gordon-ish about Diana. But Tex still looks like Mary.

[144man]

It will be getting light soon, so it must be time for me to go to bed.

Great show, John.

[carole cucumber]

Meth,

What happened to the very colorful Fiesta Sisters?

[Methuselah2]

"Tex still looks like Mary"--Carole, you're killin' me!

[Methuselah2]

Meth,

What happened to the very colorful Fiesta Sisters?

Once you posted your copy, I thought that's the one.

Even the others that I left up I'll delete soon since attachments cut into the attachment allotments that we're all given.

Thanks, Bruce.....it was 2 tons of FUN!

Martin....thanks so much! If ever I can lose sleep for YOU...let me know!
