Howdy, Folks! I've had the pleasure of some great shows in the past month or so...with guests Andy Skurow and George Solomon...both of UMG and airing the "Supremes 50th Anniversary Singles Collection" AND "More Hits By The Supremes Expanded Edition". The past 2 weeks, I've been honored with having on the show Jerry Plunk of Holland Dozier Holland's GREAT Hot Wax group Flaming Ember.
Thanks to Jerry and Andy and George for sharing such wonderful times.

Tonight is no exception. Soulful Detroit Forum's OWN "sophisticated_soul" aka Joseph Monreal of San Diego will be doing his 20TH "Listener's Choice" show [[congratulations, Joseph!!!). Joseph always gives us songs that are not only fresh and rare, but that are diverse and memorable...from Motown and soul to pop and more, by some of the great artists from over the past 50 or so years.

So join Joseph...and me...for all this and more...tonight [[Joseph may even give us a call in from the West Coast to talk of his choices for tonight's show)...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 so much....and thank YOU, Joseph!!
John

Go go Joe!! lol. Congrats Joseph! Good luck with tonight's show. Hopefully I can come home early enough to tune in.

[sophisticated_soul]

Whoa Johnny, that is some esteemed company you’ve placed me in. Thank you my friend, but I don’t have Jerry’s voice and talent or George and Andy’s knowledge and charm. What I do have is a love of music, a rather large music collection [[amassed over the last 49 years) and a desire to share music with other likeminded souls. Nightflight’s Listener’s Choice Show has been an incredibly fun vehicle to do just that and I very much appreciate that you created that option for your listeners, and I strongly urge my fellow listener’s to do a show. It’s a bit scary and nerve wracking at times, but it is so much fun! And very rewarding, I have received many kind comments about my previous shows, for which I am very grateful and I hope that what I have put together for tonight will be as pleasing. Thank you all.

John, thanks for squeezing in my trifle of a show before your jammed packed December gets underway with two [[I know will be fabulous) Marvelettes shows celebrating the release of “Forever More”! We have all waited so long for this release and I know over the next two shows you will give the Marvelous Marvelettes the kind of tribute and retrospective they truly deserve.:cool:

[sophisticated_soul]

Thank you my friend, I hope you can make it. Seems to me the last time you rushed home from school for a Nightflight program it was a Supremes show. Again, such esteemed company! LOL!! No, No Joe! LOL!! :rolleyes::p:cool:

It will light up, it will surely light up--darkened worlds.:cool:

[JimBagley]

Was that the Shangri-Las at the wrong speed?

[JimBagley]

Oh, Marianne. Thanks. The Shangs version is one of my all-time favorite recordings. That Marianne sure lived a lot of life.

[ms_m]

That is the most interesting song I've ever heard but it is soooooooooooooooo you Joseph!!!!!

[midnight johnny]

Joseph...Linda's song sounds so good in the studio at FULL TILT BOOGIE!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Oh, Marianne. Thanks. The Shangs version is one of my all-time favorite recordings. That Marianne sure lived a lot of life.

I think she gives it a more world weary performance as befits a more experienced person. My friend Evan [[evmo on SDF) turned me on to this song. It is so easy to miss great tracks.:cool:

[sophisticated_soul]

Joseph...Linda's song sounds so good in the studio at FULL TILT BOOGIE!!!

I used to dance my ass off to this song, back in the day!:cool:

[sophisticated_soul]

That is the most interesting song I've ever heard but it is soooooooooooooooo you Joseph!!!!!

Ain't that the truth! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[midnight johnny]

I used to dance my ass off to this song, back in the day!:cool:

Do you have before and after pics of that ass so we can compare? WHOOOOOOOPS!

[ms_m]

LOL....I can see you dancing to this

[JimBagley]

I love weary performances. Later Peggy Lee and Sinatra recordings often benefit from weariness.

[ms_m]

me too!!!....

[carole cucumber]

Do you have before and after pics of that ass so we can compare? WHOOOOOOOPS!

If he done danced it off, tain't nothing left to see, you silly boy.

[ms_m]

Don't feel bad MJ, I never really saw it either [[just parts of it here and there)...LOL

[midnight johnny]

Don't feel bad MJ, I never really saw it either [[just parts of it here and there)...LOL

......[[*smile).....

[sophisticated_soul]

I love weary performances. Later Peggy Lee and Sinatra recordings often benefit from weariness.

As did Billie Holiday on "Lady In Satin" which I think is one of the best albums ever. Her voice isn't what it used to be but her nuance is incredible. I saw Sinatra about 15 or so years ago and he was the master of nuance. Way past his prime but totally excellent.

[sophisticated_soul]

"My Baby Loves Me" by Ronnie with Teena was recorded April 5, 1976.

[ms_m]

hahahaha....very freudian thing just happened. I click off by mistake.....LOL

oops sorry Ronnie Mac [[and Joseph too....)

wow, that's better


LOL.....I don't believe I did that....

[ms_m]

Now, what I was about to say before my tech mishap....Joseph thanks for including Ronnie Mac. I know your affinity for female singers and groups so this inclusion is very much appreciated!!!

[JimBagley]

Sorry to get off topic, Joseph, but if you have Nurse Dixie singing My Funny Valentine, I'd love to hear it sometime. That is her last recording, right?

[sophisticated_soul]

Now, what I was about to say before my tech mishap....Joseph thanks for including Ronnie Mac. I know your affinity for female singers and groups so this inclusion is very much appreciated!!!

You're welcome my friend. But I don't think that was a fruedian slip, it was more like a fruedian wardrobe! Sorry, my bad, I just couldn't resists. You know I love you madly M.:cool:

[ms_m]

hahahahahahahah

[ms_m]

Don't ever retire...never, never, never!!!!

[ms_m]

F me pumps? hahahaha

[JimBagley]

HI Ms M's mom!

[ms_m]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.....she thinks you're quite handsome


thanks guys!!!

[ms_m]

[sophisticated_soul]

Sorry to get off topic, Joseph, but if you have Nurse Dixie singing My Funny Valentine, I'd love to hear it sometime. That is her last recording, right?

I do have Julie's "My Funny Valentine". Julie retired in 1969 but came out of retirement [[at the personal request of Burt Reynolds) in 1981 to record 'Valentine' for the soundtrack to Reynold's movie "Sharkey's Machine" after which she resumed her retirement and did not record again before she passed in 2000 at 74.

[ms_m]

Excellent choices Joseph!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Now, what I was about to say before my tech mishap....Joseph thanks for including Ronnie Mac. I know your affinity for female singers and groups so this inclusion is very much appreciated!!!

I just realized Ronnie is the only guy who made it to this show. I do love my ladies.:cool:

[sophisticated_soul]

Great tune. Weren't Roger Moore and Tony Curtis the Persuadors?

I think so, but I couldn't establish whether Rosetta's version was the one used in the show or if it was a cover.

[ms_m]

[JimBagley]

This is on the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome soundtrack CD.

It's amazing/sad that it's been left off every Tina Turner collection [[and there have been many).

[ms_m]

The song appears on Turner's UK hits compilation The Platinum Collection. [[per Wikipedia)

[sophisticated_soul]

It's amazing/sad that it's been left off every Tina Turner collection [[and there have been many).

I know and that's why I had to buy it as a mp3 download.

[ms_m]

Wow Joseph, I'm impressed...LOL

[sophisticated_soul]

Re: "I'm His Child", as I once heard Etta James say in concert, "I'm taking you to church tonight because I know you ain't going on Sunday!" LOL!! Love my Etta!:cool:
