Howdy, Neighbors! Tonight, on "Nightflight", I thought I would bring back some of my previously created remixes as well as a slew of new ones...many Motown, of course. I find that often when I am doing these extended version, a particular artist or group gets more treatment than others. So tonight...although I have a variety of artists spoken for, the Four Tops have been given more attention with new remixes...and a number of them were by request...which I truly appreciate.

So since SOME of us:rolleyes: won't be here because they have been lucky enough to spend the evening with Diana Ross, I hope you'll join me for an evening of extended versions...new and old...
...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!
Johnny Do-Right:D

[midnight johnny]

Howdy....in the studio!

[JimBagley]

Cindy told me this song has spiritual connotations. I certainly find it heavenly.

[MotownSteve]

Hi John,
Great start to what should be a great show!

[midnight johnny]

Really quite amazing.....

[midnight johnny]

Hi John,
Great start to what should be a great show!


Hey, Steverino! Glad you're here! Now if your interested...I have a few more brand new remixes from that first album of the Tops...

[JimBagley]

:rolleyes:I think Ask The Lonely features the highest background vocals ever committed to vinyl by The Four Tops.

[MotownSteve]

Volume up for this one. It does not get much better.

[MotownSteve]

Hey, Steverino! Glad you're here! Now if your interested...I have a few more brand new remixes from that first album of the Tops...

Be still my heart. Could one of them be 'Where Did You Go'?

[JimBagley]

Another song with a spiritual connection. Connie Francis starred in Where The Boys Are with Dolores Hart who is now a Reverand Mother in a Connecticut convent. The only nun who votes for the Academy Awards.

[midnight johnny]

Be still my heart. Could one of them be 'Where Did You Go'?

At LEAST....;)

[MotownSteve]

Hi John,
Goldfinger the best? I favor From Russia With Love but cannot argue with you. Goldfinger had the best theme for sure.

Now....THAT is one for the BOOKS!

[midnight johnny]

Actually, Steve...."From Russia...." is a VERY close 2nd for me. I just fell in LOVE with Shirley Eaton in "Goldfinger"....my heart can't take it no more....

[JimBagley]

Ursula Andress set the standard in Dr No.

[JimBagley]

Everyone needs a little Philly Groove in their lives.

[MotownSteve]

Hi Jim,
I see your point also but for Bond Women, Shirley Eaton does it for me. For plot though, From Russia.

[JimBagley]

Hi Jim,

I have trouble with From Russia because Lotte Lenya scared me when I was a kid.

[midnight johnny]

Everyone needs a little Philly Groove in their lives.

...or a LOT!!!!!

[MotownSteve]

I have trouble with From Russia because Lotte Lenya scared me when I was a kid.

Do you know what the connection is between From Russia and Bobby Darin?

[midnight johnny]

hhhhhhmmmmm..............

[JimBagley]

Bobby Darin mentioning Ms Lenya in Mack The Knife?

[MotownSteve]

Bobby Darin mentioning Ms Lenya in Mack The Knife?

Very good. Go to the head of the class! She was the wife of Kurt Weill who was one of the writers of the song.

[MotownSteve]

Thanks John. I was wondering if Paul Riser did the string arrangements on Where Did You Go?

[midnight johnny]

Thanks John. I was wondering if Paul Riser did the string arrangements on Where Did You Go?

You're welcome, Steve...not sure about Paul doing the strings....

[MotownSteve]

Hey John,
Where did you get the Japanese version of Where the Boys Are? I could not find it.

[JimBagley]

Wow. My music stopped.

[midnight johnny]

Hey John,
Where did you get the Japanese version of Where the Boys Are? I could not find it.

Man......it could be a number of sources...can't quite remember....

[midnight johnny]

Wow. My music stopped.


My music did too....hey...at least we're listening to the same show [[*smile)

[texassoul]

Many thanks John for the Glenn Yarbrough tune...excellent!! I did hear it while I was cleaning up the mess I made at dinner.

So the Andantes were the vocal equivalent of the Funk Brothers.... no recognition and labored in the shadows.

[midnight johnny]

Yeah......sad.......

[JimBagley]

That might be the Exciter lead singer a few years after Tell Him. [[Or it might not).

[texassoul]

At least the Funk Brothers had a movie made about them.

[JimBagley]

Brenda Payton, you sleigh me. And Dionne Warwick, you are STILL FIRED.

[midnight johnny]

Brenda Payton, you sleigh me. And Dionne Warwick, you are STILL FIRED.

Correct, Sir...on BOTH counts!

[MotownSteve]

Brenda Payton, you sleigh me. And Dionne Warwick, you are STILL FIRED.

I personally think Brenda was under recognized. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.

[JimBagley]

Brenda definitely had the full package.

[JimBagley]

There's something about Levi Stubbs' voice that always gets to me.

[texassoul]

Luv Glen Jones! "Stay", "I Am Somebody" and "Keep On Doin'".
