It never hit me until now.
I wonder how long and for how many shots Ann & Katherine had to hold that pose? Ann's looks comfortable but poor Katherine! The positioning of her elbow, hand & fingers looks a bit awkward.

I never knew the meaning of "contrapuntal" until I heard the Lewis Sisters.

Good evening John and all.

[carole cucumber]

Johnny,

I agree with your claim that the Motown selections you're playing will not be heard on other radio stations, if you qualify your statement to say "in the U.S.'
Some of our British friends are involved with internet radio shows that incorporate rare Motown as well.

[carole cucumber]

I never knew the meaning of "contrapuntal" until I heard the Lewis Sisters.

Good evening John and all.

Blimey, you don't say!

[carole cucumber]

And Martin, what would you say if you heard them singing with Brenda Holloway?

[carole cucumber]

Well at least one of the Supremes is wearing a bob........

[thomas96]

Love Mel at the beginning of this.

[midnight johnny]

Love Mel at the beginning of this. Ahhhh yeah...me too...I put him in the video youtube version I did of this!~

[thomas96]

Such a beautiful song. Have the band track of this on acetate. The Funks are spot on on this track.

[midnight johnny]

Such a beautiful song. Have the band track of this on acetate. The Funks are spot on on this track......WHAT???????? WHAT DO YOU HAVE??????? THOMAS......you DON"T!!!!!

[144man]

And Martin, what would you say if you heard them singing with Brenda Holloway?

Are they on Brenda's version of "You Need Me"?

[thomas96]

.....WHAT???????? WHAT DO YOU HAVE??????? THOMAS......you DON"T!!!!!

"Come On And See Me" b/w "Misery Makes It's Home In My Heart" absolutely superb.

[144man]

Blimey, you don't say!

"Contrapuntal" is used in the sleeve notes to the Lewis Sisters' "Way Out Far" album.

[carole cucumber]

Ahem.......
Mr. Perrone , please refer to the following :

[midnight johnny]

"Come On And See Me" b/w "Misery Makes It's Home In My Heart" absolutely superb. Now...is it the Tammi version or the other session track...I think may be for the Supremes version...

[thomas96]

Now...is it the Tammi version or the other session track...I think may be for the Supremes version...

It's the Tammi version. Even has the background vocals from hers at the beginning, if I'm recalling correctly....

[midnight johnny]

It's the Tammi version. Even has the background vocals from hers at the beginning, if I'm recalling correctly....

..........................Great!!!

[thomas96]

Is it wrong that I like the Jackson 5's version of this more than Smokey?

[thomas96]

Beautiful from Jimmy. I know that I've had difficulties saying I'm sorry before...

[thomas96]

Wow you've got it!

[midnight johnny]

[midnight johnny]

Martin....you wanted to hear a Barbara McNair track....can you refresh me?

[144man]

Martin....you wanted to hear a Barbara McNair track....can you refresh me?

It was "Just One Teardrop [[From A Broken Heart".

[carole cucumber]

You didn't by any chance bring Patrice Holloway's excellent version of "All That's Good" from her U.K. Anthology?

[carole cucumber]

Or "My 2 Arms - You = Tears' by the Elgins.

[144man]

"Any Girl In Love" was strong enough to be an A-side. Love Kim Weston's version as well.

[carole cucumber]

Here's Samantha: [[who will allow "no trespassin')

[franjoy56]

I love the interplay between Gladys and Wanda on Keep off no trespassing. a unique feature about the marvelettes.

[midnight johnny]

It was "Just One Teardrop [[From A Broken Heart".

...................Thanks!!!

[midnight johnny]

That's her!!!! Are you stalking???? [[*smile)

[midnight johnny]

I love the interplay between Gladys and Wanda on Keep off no trespassing. a unique feature about the marvelettes.

FYI....if my ears [[and the liner notes) don't deceive me, it's Gladys on lead...no Wanda...

[midnight johnny]

"Any Girl In Love" was strong enough to be an A-side. Love Kim Weston's version as well. Kim's "Any Girl In Town?" [[*smile)

[carole cucumber]

:confused:How did you know that i'm wearing stockings???

[midnight johnny]

You didn't by any chance bring Patrice Holloway's excellent version of "All That's Good" from her U.K. Anthology? Sorry Carole....don't have....

[midnight johnny]

How did you know that i'm wearing stockings???


Very Goood!!!

[144man]

Thanks for playing the Barbara McNair. Pure Motown magic.

[Methuselah2]

Anyone having trouble staying connected to the show? I've probably heard 15 mins. [[all- total) airtime since the show came on. Keep losing the TuneIn connection.

Anyway, not that I'll be able to hear it, but folks might enjoy hearing Jimmy Ruffin's BABY, I'VE GOT IT. One of my favorite Andantes' back-ups. Classic Andantes, actually.

[carole cucumber]

And don't forget that an early version of "Midnight Johnny" by Liz Lands is to be included on Motown Girls 2.... and "Mr. Pride and Mr. Gloom" by Connie Haines.

[Methuselah2]

Or let me put it this way: Don't play it and I'm doin' another promo!!

[franjoy56]

Johnny no u just didn't spin Now the Biter Now the Sweet, with Jean Mary Cindy in their greatest vocal readings with the the Andantes behind them wow, you know what I like, that Floy Joy album was off the hook. Cindy should have been on the cover. Thank You Maestro of music..

[144man]

Can't wait to hear Connie Haines' "Mr Pride and Mr Gloom" from the upcoming "Love and Affection" CD.

[carole cucumber]

No problem at all here; the link Johnny posted took me directly to the station and not to Facebook as it did the previous 2 weeks.

[carole cucumber]

Or let me put it this way: Don't play it and I'm doin' another promo!!

Don't you mean 'not doing another promo'?

[midnight johnny]

I did my best...

[franjoy56]

High Energy is one of the greatest Supremes vocal tracks hit or not, Susaye was fantastic. That album was the last great supremes album.

[144man]

I've had no problem using the Windows Media Player connection.

[carole cucumber]

No you won't. You want to mention Cindy & High Energy

[carole cucumber]

I did my best...

And for that, among many other things, I thank you.

[midnight johnny]

No you won't. You want to mention Cindy & High Energy WHAT are you....a SWAMI??????

[carole cucumber]

That definitely wasn't recorded on the day that Jean brought in the note from her doctor asking that she not have to sing anything higher than a high c.

[carole cucumber]

No, I'm not that partial to salami.

[Methuselah2]

No, Carole, what I meant was this:

10040

[carole cucumber]

How about another Martha A& S "It Ain't Like That"

[midnight johnny]

no, carole, what i meant was this:

10040


oh>>>>god>>>>no>>>>>kill me now!!!! Argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

[midnight johnny]

oh>>>>god>>>>no>>>>>kill me now!!!! Argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!


And then....I JUST HAD TO!!!!

[carole cucumber]

No, Carole, what I meant was this:

10040

What I never knew that....
You mean Tony Martin was eating salami and talking to your picture when he recorded that track
The things one learns on Nightflight!!!!

[144man]

The second worst Motown single ever...

[carole cucumber]

Not the Sugar & Spice album.. Black Magic

[midnight johnny]

The second worst Motown single ever...
Dr Goldfoot? [[*grin)

[midnight johnny]

Not the Sugar & Spice album.. Black Magic....no......It Aint Like That is on "Sugar 'N' Spice"

[Methuselah2]

So how 'bout playing one of the best--by Jimmy Ruffin with The Andantes/BABY, I'VE GOT IT [[B-side of BROKEN HEARTED)? Or did I hear someone say "Another promo!"?

[carole cucumber]

....no......It Aint Like That is on "Sugar 'N' Spice"

No the album of rejected Diana Ross songs was not "Sugar & Spice" as you stated...
but the "Black Magic" album.

[carole cucumber]

Dr Goldfoot? [[*grin)

No, Randy the Newspaper Boy

[144man]

Dr Goldfoot? [[*grin)

Excluding the novelty records, I reckon Debbie Dean's "I Cried All Night". Two minutes, twenty-nine seconds of pure agony.

[midnight johnny]

Excluding the novelty records, I reckon Debbie Dean's "I Cried All Night". Two minutes, twenty-nine seconds of pure agony. Man....I enjoyed Debbie's writing....but the voice...oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....

[Methuselah2]

Or maybe Marvin's rare gem: WHEN I HAD YOUR LOVE [[B-side of ONE MORE HEARTACHE) that was really an A-side in waiting.

[[Oh, gosh, I feel a promo comin' on. Where's that photo of Irene Ryan?)

[carole cucumber]

[[Oh, gosh, I feel a promo comin' on. Where's that photo of Irene Ryan?)

Which One?

[[Oh, gosh, I feel a promo comin' on. Where's that photo of Irene Ryan?)

Agreed. "When I Had Your Love" was much the better side.

[Methuselah2]

Many, many thanks, John, for playing Jimmy. Just love everything about that recording.

[midnight johnny]

Many, many thanks, John, for playing Jimmy. Just love everything about that recording. Bruce...thanks for sharing....one of the B sides I had never really known.....very pretty

[Methuselah2]

These RTR shows are just too good, John. Thanks again for playing the requests [[my connection improved the last half hour and I got to hear them). A great, fun show.

[Methuselah2]

Great Irene shots, Carole.

I could have stayed up for another three hours right now, but I guess I'll have to wait till next week. Thanks.
