[144man]

No Matter What Sign You Are - Supremes

[[This track is God-awful, but the production has that catchy Motown sound and the silly lyrics just beg me to sing along with them)

Even though I don't believe in astrology, this is one of my favourite Supremes' records.

Please can more people put comments about the records they're listening to on this thread.

[144man]

We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again - Diana Ross

Never released on a single in the UK, yet we got the inferior B-side "Old Funky Rolls" as an A-side instead.

[144man]

On YouTube. Unreleased Gold Star recording probably intended for Phi-Dan.

[sansradio]

So Far, So Pleased - O[[->

[sophisticated_soul]

Tammy - Debbie Reynolds

[144man]

Tammy - Debbie Reynolds

Are you playing this because Berry Gordy named the Tamla label after it, or do you just like the record?

[sansradio]

Nobody Like You - Aretha Franklin

[sophisticated_soul]

Are you playing this because Berry Gordy named the Tamla label after it, or do you just like the record?

I am playing it at this time because BG named Tamla after it, yes. However I do like the song. Today I was looking up some information on Tammy Wynette and that kind of triggered my thought to listen to "Tammy".

[sansradio]

Love this catchy, catchy, wonderful song... included on A Cellarful Of Motown I believe even though it was not a previously-unreleased track

Hey sans, I remember! Great track. And I love Nancy's version too.

[[And hopefully not!)

[sophisticated_soul]

Is That All There Is? - Peggy Lee

A one of kind song. I've heard several versions of this song and none compare to the sultry irony of Lee's original performance. Bette Midler's version is the best of the remakes.

[thanxal]

Oh, Lady Be Good - Ella Fitzgerald [[Verve songbook version).

[sansradio]

One of the coldest slow jams of all time.

[sansradio]

Goin’ Out of My Head - Luther Vandross

My Funny Valentine - Julie London

London recorded from 1955 through 1969. She came out of retirement just once in 1981, at Burt Reynolds' request, to record this track for his soundtrack album of "Sharky's Machine". Reynolds also brought in Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan and Joe Williams.

[sophisticated_soul]

When This Love Affair Is Over - Peter Allen

[sophisticated_soul]

Smokin' In Bed - Denise LaSalle

[sansradio]

Let’s Go Up - Diana Ross

[sophisticated_soul]

Reminds me of Geoff Goddard - To Be A Farmer's Boy.

Farmer's Boy dates back to the 1800's. As a folk singer herself Melanie would likely have been exposed to the song. Lyrically they're dissimilar but I could easily see where Melanie could have been inspired by the title. And used that as a jumping off point in creating her song.

[sansradio]

Wait for the Magic [live] - Al Jarreau

[sophisticated_soul]

One Shining Moment - Diana Ross

Where girl group meets soul, the strange title in the US charts intrigued me long before the record was released in the UK.
