Folks....I hope your holiday was an enjoyable one for you! As promised, we have a second
Philadelphia Soul show tonight [[so much incredible Philly soul...so little time). The incredible productions and writing of Gamble & Huff, Thom Bell & Linda Creed....the amazing talents of the O'jays, the Three Degrees, the Jones Girls, the Spinners, Deneice Williams, Teddy Pendergrass, Jean Carne and so many others too numerous to mention. Motown is certainly the heart and soul of "Nightflight"...but if Motown is my "wife"...Philly soul is my "Mrs. Jones"...and I'll NEVER let her go! So join me tonight for a continuation of my endless affair with the SOUND of PHILADELPHIA...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org)

Thanks! And a happy and healthy New Year to my buddies here at Soulful Detroit [[oops....I guess tonight I mean "Soulful PHILLY!).

John

[JimBagley]

I can't complain. I didn't get nearly that much snow.

[JimBagley]

That's my favorite Ronnie recording. Gorgeous work by Thom Bell.

The upbeat melody doesn't match the subject matter though.

MJ, it's okay to have an affair, but don't let it affect your marriage to Motown! LOL! Totally enjoying all the tunes you are playing.

[JimBagley]

The Jones Girls as hookers? Probably not, but that's how I first interpreted "Children Of The Night." What awesome harmonies these ladies of the night possess!

[sophisticated_soul]

Hey John, do you have the Stylistics "Rockin' Roll Baby"?

[midnight johnny]

MJ, it's okay to have an affair, but don't let it affect your marriage to Motown! LOL! Totally enjoying all the tunes you are playing.

Thanks, Joseph.....I ALMOST lost my head...I'll just keep Philly on the side and not tell her about Motown...maybe she won't notice my double life....

[[thank you)

[MotownSteve]

MJ,
I have a live recording of the Spinners where they do 'Then Came You' with Linda Creed. Blows me away!

[midnight johnny]

Hey John, do you have the Stylistics "Rockin' Roll Baby"?

Will get it on for ya!

[sophisticated_soul]

Thanks for the loving tribute Johnny, it was beautiful. And we needed that, it's called social mourning. So many music passings, it's hard. So many of us admired and loved them. Thank you for including Alberta Crump.

[positivesoul]

JP... I'm joining just in time to hear the start of the great Sunshine by the Ojays! Will mostly be checking out my recording of the show later tonight since I just started watching the Eagles game that I'm also taping from the beginning! Thanks for the Philly theme!
