"Nightflight" Tue Aug 12, 9P-12M ET:The More Mellow Side of Motown...

[midnight johnny]

2816

Hello, Nooks and Crannies! Tonight....welcome to the more mellow side of Motown. My favorite Motown songs have always been those strong, powerful and melodic productions....those you can dance to...those that build to a climax. And that's what I often play on the show. But that does leave out a lot of wonderful Motown. So tonight, I'm going to focus more on the more mellow Motown that I've missed. So please...do join me tonight for Motown Mellowness and MORE...on "Nightflight"....on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org)
Thanks!

Hi John,
Sounds like a good show. BTW, did you see my email?

[midnight johnny]

Steve....hi! Yes I did. sorry I didn't get back to you....I love so much about those Lewis Sisters....BUT....not their voices [[smile). I thank you so much for your offer.

MJ: Have you changed your personal email address? I have changed mine and perhaps mail I have sent you got sent to your spam. Would like to get the rolling on the belated DR listener's choice.

Hope you are well.

Hi John,
I love their stuff on Motown which is nothing like the CD I have. I'd love to see Kent or Reel Music or someone else come out with a CD with what they sang for Motown.

[sophisticated_soul]

Mellow Motown sounds perfect Johnny. I'll be there.:cool:

I DO like the Motown stuff...but lots of echo and production helps the vocals. But I agree...they have some great Motown stuff!

Wonderful song John, 'That's How Heartaches Are Made'. Thank you.

[JimBagley]

Thanks. "That's How..." and "When You're Young And In Love" are my favorite Marvelettes' recordings. The Dells did a nice version of "That's How..." as well.

I love Barbara McNair's version of "Everything. . . ".

[midnight johnny]

Sorry it's so fragmented for you, Tone...

[JimBagley]

I love Barbara McNair's version of "Everything. . . ".

Barbara McNair's version is especially good.

[JimBagley]

I can never get enough of Brenda Holloway. I met the pianist on this recording Lincoln Mayorga about 25 years ago. He was very proud that he got to play a part in the introduction of Brenda Holloway to the world.

[lovechild]

Sorry it's so fragmented for you, Tone...t
Thanks, went out and came back in seems to be better now

[MotownSteve]

Jim, this is getting stranger and stranger. I could not agree with you more. I have almost every CD she has ever done.

[JimBagley]

It's my house and I live here. There's a dog named Fred at the door.

Jim...that is exciting!!!! The piano on "ELBH" is really exquisite....

[JimBagley]

Jim...that is exciting!!!! The piano on "ELBH" is really exquisite....

It really is and the recording is pretty much just Brenda's voice and Lincoln's piano.
