How did you know that "Ask Any Girl" is my all-time favourite Supremes' record? Love your extended version.

[carole cucumber]

By the way , Mr. Johnny, you haven't played Jr. Walker & the All Stars: 'Cool Cool Baby' from Cellarful Vol 4- [[I requested it 2 shows ago). That song is a hoot!

[midnight johnny]

[144man]

Being under the dryer's not that bad. She could have been making home-made jam instead:)

[franjoy56]

Thanks, Franjoy...such a great one!

I think the writers wanted to establish a contrast from the get-go between Martha relaxing while having her hair done [[under a dryer where she would have all noise & distractions blocked from her) and the tension, ear and mind-splitting noise levels, and unfolding drama of the war in which Johnny was engaged.

"The telegram finally arrived
And it tried so hard to explain
That Johnny was over his slight case of bronchitis
So he could get to the studio to play rarities for us,
So I turned off the dryer
'Cause I was wearin' a wig anyway
And then I said to myself
'I should be vaccinated'."

It's a HIT!!!!!! [[hahahah)

[carole cucumber]

Let's see.... Motown vault miners said that they had exhasted all Barbara Randolph, Marvelettes, 60's Supremes tracks... but then.......
Perhaps there is a stray Velvelette track or two tucked away on a yet unheard reel.

I just had a break in transmission, so I tried that link again. Clicking on "Follow link" worked for me.

[carole cucumber]

Do you have Gladys Knight & the Pips 'Any Girl In Love [[Knows What I'm Going Through)???

[carole cucumber]

Will you be premiering it soon??? Just wondering. It never hurts to ask.

If I weren't in a jolly good mood, I might have asked "Have you flipped your wig?

[midnight johnny]

Not to my knowledge....haven't heard of it's release....

[carole cucumber]

Not to my knowledge....haven't heard of it's release....

If you look into a taped interview with Mr. Hughes for Nightflight.........

[carole cucumber]

That's the song Martha was singing under the dryer when Johnny set sail!!!!!

[midnight johnny]

If you look into a taped interview with Mr. Hughes for Nightflight.........

oh Carole ...it's a great idea...but it would be so complicated to do that. I think I'd would love it...but not easily feasible....

[Methuselah2]

Jamais, Carole. That's too Marlo Thomas in THAT GIRL.

[midnight johnny]

That the song Martha was singing under the dryer when Johnny set sail!!!!!

I love it becasue it uses "Loch Lomon" in the melody....my favorite song of my bonnie bonnie Scotland.

[carole cucumber]

Jamais, Carole. That's too Marlo Thomas in THAT GIRL.

Thank you , Donald . Now would you help me get my toe out of the bowling ball?

[carole cucumber]

Or are you in reality Frank Slaydeck????

[Methuselah2]

Carole, you're either 'Mr. Marie' or Rosemary DeCamp!

[carole cucumber]

Hi. John.

9986

[carole cucumber]

Carole, you're either 'Mr. Marie' or Rosemary DeCamp!

Or both rolled into one...why do people forget about that option?

[carole cucumber]

And what do you want to tell us about 'Just Look What You've Done' and don't seem to get around to doing?

[midnight johnny]

Hi. John.

9986

DON"T TOY WITH ME CAROLE ABOUT KITTIES.....my heart breaks so easily....

[midnight johnny]

DON"T TOY WITH ME CAROLE ABOUT KITTIES.....my heart breaks so easily.... But it's such a pretty baby bear sweetness ...

[Methuselah2]

John, with all the ITCHING references in your promo at the top of the thread, is an alternate version that's been discussed before going to be aired this evening? Just piecing things together . . . or wishfully hoping to.

[carole cucumber]

oh Carole ...it's a great idea...but it would be so complicated to do that. I think I'd would love it...but not easily feasible....

Well ,now that you bring it up. Paul Nixon may be coming to the U.S. this fall. With your Andy & George connections, it would be fabulous if they could arrange a conference interview involving all 3....
so that we could convey our deep gratitude to Paul, Keith, John etc. for all the treasures that they have brought us by keeping the Motown Sound alive in the U.K. and other spots on the globe.

[carole cucumber]

Why Grandma... what big feet you have! Or are these athlete's feet????

[midnight johnny]

And what do you want to tell us about 'Just Look What You've Done' and don't seem to get around to doing?you distracted me with a KITTY!!!! Thanks for the reminder!

[Methuselah2]

The Supremes' versions of THIS OLD HEART OF MINE, HEAVEN MUST HAVE SENT YOU, and perhaps Wayne Brasler was alluding to PUT YOURSELF IN MY PLACE all highlight the brilliance of HDH for several reasons--not least of which were their decisions not to release The Supremes' versions as A-side singles. Wayne is certainly not alone in his praise for THIS OLD HEART OF MINE by The Supremes--but not me. To me, those versions are so lackluster and inferior to the great versions released by The Isley Bros. and The Elgins. HDH had such an amazing handle on their music--so clearly in evidence by going with The Isleys and The Elgins. Unless those decisions weren't theirs. Anybody know?

[carole cucumber]

Wayne Brasler does a plethora of Motown reviews on Amazon as Jim Andrews "Wayne Brasler"

[Methuselah2]

Thanks, Carole.

I do agree with you, Carole, about the "lackluster" quality of so much of that material. I'm really dying to know what Wayne's formal affiliation with Motown was.

[midnight johnny]

http://www.snipview.com/q/Wayne_Brasler

Yeah....I saw that too...but no clear info about him and Motown...

[144man]

Of course, tracks like "Dr Goldfoot..." are rare to radio for a very good reason.

[Methuselah2]

"And don't call me Shirley" . . . er, Carole.

Of course, tracks like "Dr Goldfoot..." are rare to radio for a very good reason. Hahahah......awwwwwwwwwwwwww......

[carole cucumber]

"And don't call me Shirley" . . . er, Carole.

I've been called worse... but never a nurse [[who is worse according to the Marvelettes)

[Methuselah2]

Stellar closing to a stellar show. Thanks, Jerome . . . er, John.

[144man]

Great stuff.

Is it too early to suggest Barbara McNair's "Just One Teardrop [[From A Brokenheart)" for next week's show?

[theboyfromxtown]

I've known of the name Wayne Brasler in connection with Motown for more years than I care to remember but never known anyone that knew him. He also posts on youtube. Sometimes his comments are a bit acidic but he does know his stuff. I would have liked to have met him.

It's good to see that he is a real person and not someone masquerading as another person.....as so often happens on youtube etc.

Thanks, martin! No...not too soon at all...I have it with my tracks to play next week.

But WHAT is his connection with Motown...that's one thing we don't know!
