[smark21]

Are you going to try to book Katherine Anderson for an interview?

[carlo]

Wonderful! I have no classes tonight, so I look forward to tuning in with you guys [[finally)!

Could you please play "As Long As I Know He's Mine" and "You're My Remedy"?? :D

[midnight johnny]

In the Studio!!! Howdy All!

[JimBagley]

I think Georgianna Tillman was the Marvelette for the first three years. Georgia Dobbins wrote Please Mr Postman but left the group before they actually recorded.

[soulballad]

Hey Midnight, Georgia Dobbins did not record with the group but she did co-write "Postman" she was replaced by Wanda Young. The late Geogeanna Tillman was the 5th Marvelette.

[sophisticated_soul]

Lovin' the Marvelettes fanfare, Johnny, you haven't done a medley like this in awhile. Sounds great.:cool:

Thanks, Joe...wait till you hear how I went crazy with "Magician" at the end of this medley!!! OYYYY!

[sophisticated_soul]

Awesome medley!:)

[JimBagley]

That was an awesome melody.

[JimBagley]

That was an awesome melody.

Great minds think alike.

[the sound of young america]

Listening streaming live in Manchester, UK and "lovin it".

Message to Michael off the "Pink" album and Ivy Jo Hunter's haunting "Rainy Mourning" off in Full Bloom please! :o

[sophisticated_soul]

Great minds think alike.

That's what I know.:)

[midnight johnny]

That's what I know.:)

Joseph and Jim...thank you!

[redlabs]

one of my favorite Marvelettes songs: BOY FROM CROSSTOWN.

[soulballad]

Great re-mix of "The Boy From Crosstown"! It shows the intricate layering of the instruments and the layering of voices. You can hear Katherine and Wanda very clearly in the background and the Andantes doing small parts just sweetening the harmony.

You got that right Jim!:cool:

[kenneth]

Is it possible to hear the live version of "Locking Up My Heart"?

[sophisticated_soul]

I wonder if this humming bird thing is where we get the expression "Shake a Tail Feather"?:confused:

[the sound of young america]

"Poor Little Rich Girl" will do just fine.

[kenneth]

Is it possible to hear the live version of "Locking Up My Heart"?

Thanks so much!!!

[carlo]

Thank you Midnight Johnny! :)

[kenneth]

Did you know "You're My Remedy" was No. 1 in Singapore, of all places?

[johnjeb]

Been in and out of the room, listening when I can - if you haven't already played these songs could you try to squeeze in "I Want A Guy" and "Knock On My Door". Thanks

John

[JimBagley]

They're all special... Well, the Lewis Sisters, not so much.

[carlo]

Thank you! I love the "babaloo's"!!! lol

"IKHO"...one of my FAVS!!!!!

[johnjeb]

"Forever" was going to be my next request. Must be a psychic connection.

[johnjeb]

I can never understand why oldies stations never play "Playboy". It was #7 POP and #4 R&B.

[carlo]

This remix of "Too Many Fish In the Sea" is awesome!! Did you do this one, Midnight Johnny? Superb! Especially the isolated vocals at the beginning. Real cool! I heard something that almost sounded like Gladys was laughing?? Or maybe it was my stomach? lol.

Who are the background voices on "The One Who Really Loves You"?

[carlo]

That album is called "In Full Bloom", MJ! Copley is gonna kill you! lol.

Thank you Carlo.....my brain slipped a disc!

[sophisticated_soul]

Who are the background voices on "The One Who Really Loves You"?

It sounds to me like they used Mary Well's original backing track, so that would be the Love-Tones doing back ground vocals.

[carlo]

Thank you Sophie :)

[sophisticated_soul]

Thank you Sophie :)
