"Nightflight" Tue Sept 11, 9P-12M ET:a Flotilla of Motown Filler,a Bevy of "B" sides!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy, ladies and germs! Tonight, on "Nightflight", join me for a bombastic review of the Motown "filler", the album songs used to flesh out the track list so it would total 12 [[give or take). These tracks weren't intended tobe hits, so they were never printed onto 45rpm records. And ironically, these tracks contained not only some of Motown's WORST songs...but yet and still, some were Motown's BEST tracks. But just to add a bit more diversity,
I'll include some of Motown's "B" sides. And I might just have a little news about Andy Skurow's and George Solomon's next show with me. All this...and more....tonight...on "Nightflight"....on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live worldwide at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)
Thanks! John
And Next Week.......Scherrie and Freda Payne....LIVE!

A “flotilla”, Johnny? I see you’ve been hangin’ out at the Word Association thread again? Well, what can I say, yet and still, so have I. In fact recently while hangin’ out at WA I was told to “stop playing with yourself”!:) Such fun. But I digress. Back to tonight’s fleet of music, your show of musical strength sounds like winner and I’ll sign up now! Plus news from Harry’s Harrietts [[no second ‘e’ – like the Jaynetts)! That can only be news about the soon to be released “I Heard A Symphony” [[as listed on Amazon) featuring “My World Was Empty Without You”, ”Any Girl In Love [[Knows What I Went Through)”, “With A Song In My Heart, Again” and that great b-side “He’s All I Had”! Can’t wait! And to top it off both Payne Killers next week, Scherrie and Freda!! Oh man, I have to go out and learn some new adjectives! See you on Radiola mi amigo.:cool:

Now I DID have a bit of a brain before my association with "SDFWA"...but I must admit...I DID research in the Thesaurus [[that's the ARTICLE DINOSAUR) to come up with a pithy word to fit with "filler".Now Andy's going to join me tonight to do a tease onthe show he and George will join me on...bit it will be in a way he has never done before.....
See you later on the Radiola, my friend!

[JimBagley]

Have fun tonight, John. I'll be listening

[midnight johnny]

Have fun tonight, John. I'll be listening


hey there, Jim!!!! Great you'll be here!

[sophisticated_soul]

Nightflight is always full of surprises!:cool:

[midnight johnny]

Nightflight is always full of surprises!:cool:

Well...that's how you and "Nightflight" are so much alike!

[Methuselah2]

Mmmmm. Is that filler I smell heatin' up for tonight? Smells delicious. So fluffy, not stuffy. So satisfyin'. And I'm always satisfied with NIGHTFLIGHT. So-o-o satisfied. Well, it's the perfect main course the whole family can enjoy. ''More NIGHTFLIGHT, please.'' No Diaphragm of Diana. No ''Urinal Need to Get By.'' Flip me over. I'm a B-side ready for a little A-sided attention. Tonight's the night!

[midnight johnny]

Hey there Bruce!!! Phew..........!!! You have rendered me speechless...very glad you're here!!

Hey Bruce, "Urinal Need To Get By", that's excellent! I'm glad you understand my dark sense of humour. See you on the Radiola!:cool:

[Methuselah2]

Thanks Joseph. Should be quite a night tonight, where anything can happen. Kind of reminds me of that night in the mid-60s when The Marvelettes were touring and suddenly thrown in jail in Cambodia:

You've just been waiting for that opportunity....[[smile)

[Glenpwood]

Hey John and the gang....

B-side myself with anticipation for tonights show. I know John will bring his A Game to the flip sides and fillers. And a double dose of Payne coming next week? Even Carly Simon would make time for that!;)

See everyone at nine!

[carole cucumber]

Jean's earliest lead used on Right On.

[lovechild]

Loving the show tonight JP...does this mean that All the Befores might make the show tonight?

[texassoul]

Temps - Don't Look Back........tuuuuuuuune!!

[midnight johnny]

Loving the show tonight JP...does this mean that All the Befores might make the show tonight?
Now Tony....something's must remain a secret...[[*grin)

[sophisticated_soul]

Thanks for "Don't Look Back" John. Paul's voice is amazing, this was always an a-side to me.:cool:

[texassoul]

John: have you posted your extended remix of the Marvin & Tammi song?

[carole cucumber]

Jay & the Techniques

[lovechild]

Now Tony....something's must remain a secret...[[*grin) oops didnt mean to spoil one of the surprises..hey i just figured out how to listen to your show on my phone :) Jay n the Techniques...

[johnjeb]

Well, I LOVE Smokey's version better than Diana's!!!

[jayedsel]

Hi. Help me somebody. I want to record this show [[timer recordings). Any suggestions of software ? I keep missing the 1st hour of this show.
Suffering,
Jay

[texassoul]

oops didnt mean to spoil one of the surprises..hey i just figured out how to listen to your show on my phone :) Jay n the Techniques...

The TuneIn Radio app is fantastic. It will even record shows.

[lovechild]

All the Befores. By far my favorite song by Diana. Thank you Johhny and its ok if you play it again later lol

[sophisticated_soul]

Thanks for "All The Befores" John. IMHO one of Diana's finest recordings.

[carole cucumber]

Since I Lost you

[lovechild]

It is always a pleasure to hear Eddie's voice..

[texassoul]

Luvin' this Temps version!

[texassoul]

Jimmy Ruffin.....another TUUUUUUUUNE!

[johnjeb]

When you mentioned the Surrender album I thought you were going to play "Did You Read The Morning Paper". What a nice surprise to hear "All The Befores" one of Diana's [[and Ashford & Simpson's) best.

[sophisticated_soul]

Yes! "Going Down For The Third Time", Go, Johnny, Go!:cool:

[carole cucumber]

Please, Andy & George, keep the Supremes expanded editions coming so that we can get a stereo version of the single version of "Going Down For the Third Time".

[lovechild]

This Thursday is Susaye Greene's Birthday! and Yay for Going Down....

[texassoul]

Hope you play Glass House's "Don't Let It Rain On Me" next week.

[texassoul]

OMG! Love his version of Cloud Nine....

[carole cucumber]

Temps version October, 1968 Marvin..June, 1969

[midnight johnny]

Temps version October, 1968 Marvin..June, 1969

Carole...thank you....you are quite sprightly!~

[Methuselah2]

Love the Billy Eckstine tune. That guy was around.

[sophisticated_soul]

Any Mary Wells tonight? Maybe "One Block From Heaven"?

[carole cucumber]

Strangest thing about Had You Been Around- a very unfamiliar composer name- Bernard Yuffy with 3 more familiar ones

[sophisticated_soul]

Barbara Randolph's story would make a great episode of "Unsung".

[texassoul]

Another song [[Where Did You Go) that I don't think you've posted on FB....have you??

[johnjeb]

I've enjoyed the last 90 minutes but must now get to bed...have a wonderful third hour John and everyone.

[carole cucumber]

Barbara also has been quoted as saying that she was considered by Berry to be Flo's replacement and even went to Atlantic City to see the Supremes' show. Diana expressed her displeasure and Berry never pursued it further.

[texassoul]

I really like Barbara Randolph's song, "I Got A Feeling".

[Methuselah2]

How 'bout that Miracle of filler: HDH's IT'S A GOOD FEELING? Now that would feel awfully good. It's filler that was meant for more-sided things. A great dance tune, too. And a great Smokey lead performance.

[midnight johnny]

Any Mary Wells tonight? Maybe "One Block From Heaven"?

You got it!

[sophisticated_soul]

Wow! Thanks Johnny! "One Block From Heaven", a true floor shaker!:cool:

[midnight johnny]

How 'bout that Miracle of filler: HDH's IT'S A GOOD FEELING? Now that would feel awfully good. It's filler that was meant for more-sided things. A great dance tune, too. And a great Smokey lead performance.

.....Cointly!

[carole cucumber]

How about Brenda's "A Favor For A Girl [[With A Lovesick Heart)"

[midnight johnny]

I really like Barbara Randolph's song, "I Got A Feeling".

Yes...a great "A" side [[hint hint [[*smile)

[texassoul]

Tooooooooon!! It's A Good Feeling. Is this one of your remixes? If so, please post on FB....pleeeeeeeeeeeez!

[Methuselah2]

Ooo-wee, John. First, ONE BLOCK FROM HEAVEN. Then IT'S A GOOD FEELING. I'm in Heaven.

[midnight johnny]

How about Brenda's "A Favor For A Girl [[With A Lovesick Heart)"

B side? or just filler, Carole?

[carole cucumber]

The noticeably Detroit sounding track on her only U.S. Tamla album

[Glenpwood]

There really is no filler on "Right On" in my opinion, its all killer. The Loving Country is sheer perfection.....

[texassoul]

Luv this. What is it??

[midnight johnny]

The noticeably Detroit sounding track on her only U.S. Tamla album

Well.....OK!

[texassoul]

Luv this. What is it??

Shoe Leather Expressway! Another unposted Johnny extended remix!! You're killing me!!


Oops! It IS posted. So sorry!!

[Methuselah2]

After last week's brilliant Hal David tribute, I wondered how you would ever be able to follow that with something just as terrific. And now I know. It's just that simple. Simply sensational, that is. Masterful.

[midnight johnny]

Shoe Leather Expressway! Another unposted Johnny extended remix!! You're killing me!!



No, Mike....it is on youtube....

[texassoul]

No, Mike....it is on youtube....

So sorry John. I just found it! Shame on me..... I LOVE it.

[midnight johnny]

Well, thank you, Bruce....I appreciate it!

[Methuselah2]

Hey gang: Keep your eye out for ''DETROPIA,'' a new documentary about what happened to Detroit and what might happen next. It's getting great notices.

[carole cucumber]

If you have it..."One More Chance" - Jackson 5 [[ABC album filler)

[midnight johnny]

If you have it..."One More Chance" - Jackson 5 [[ABC album filler)


Actually I have it....sure!!!!!!!!!!

[Methuselah2]

ASK ANY GIRL. Gorgeous. Thanks so much, John, for all this great music.

[carole cucumber]

Thanks Johnny for giving the Jackson 5 one more chance.

[midnight johnny]

ASK ANY GIRL. Gorgeous. Thanks so much, John, for all this great music.

My pleasure, Bruce!!!

[midnight johnny]

Thanks Johnny for giving the Jackson 5 one more chance.

My pleasure again, Carole!

[carole cucumber]

I agree with you about Carolyn's voice. The one thing that I sometimes have trouble with is understanding what she's singing. Sometimes her words are garbled.

[sophisticated_soul]

"Tonight Is Made For Love" is such a beautiful song. I'm so glad the mono version is back in print.:cool:

[texassoul]

OH NO! This show is coming to an end. 3 more hours, pleeeez John.

[lovechild]

Ditto that texassoul - thanks for a fun filled night of Motown surprises! Have a great week all :)

[Methuselah2]

And still room for The Marvelettes TONIGHT/THIS NIGHT WAS MADE FOR LOVE. The beauty of NIGHTFLIGHT knows no limit. Overwhelming.

[texassoul]

WOMR needs to get a chat box....much easier to communicate during the show!

[texassoul]

Fabulous song [[Dark Side Of The World) and Marvin's version is quite nice. I think it's on the "Lost & Found: Love Starved Heart" LP of previously unreleased songs.

[carole cucumber]

Amazing how the song evolved from a simpler Velvelettes song.

[midnight johnny]

Guys....I KNOW....the time has flown by....and I have so many more to play..............oh well.....
Thanks for your energy and requests and support and your class, taste and refinement....

See you next week with Freda and Scherrie and Jim!
Thanks again!

[sophisticated_soul]

It's easy to see now how so many really great songs just slipped through the cracks. There were just too many great songs to choose from. Motown had an embarrassment of riches!

[carole cucumber]

Fabulous song [[Dark Side Of The World) and Marvin's version is quite nice. I think it's on the "Lost & Found: Love Starved Heart" LP of previously unreleased songs.

I believe that Johnny did a version incorporating both Marvin & Diana.

[Methuselah2]

I co-sign, Texassoul!

[lovechild]

Leave A Little Room ... you have just put the icing on the show Johnny! WOW! thank you thank you thank you :)

[Glenpwood]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Leave A Little Room is one of my top Diana songs of all time. I get the side eye of death on long car trips singing along to this album hehe..... Thanks John!

[sophisticated_soul]

Super great show John! You are Supreme! Thanks everybody! See you next time.:cool:

[texassoul]

So 3 more hours is out of the question.....? ;o)

[Methuselah2]

Oh, what a night. John, thank you so much.

[midnight johnny]

Thank you all....so much!

I wasn't able to listen in to your show last night MJ, but what was your news about Andy and George's next show with you??

[carole cucumber]

I wasn't able to listen in to your show last night MJ, but what was your news about Andy and George's next show with you??

The Oct. 9th Nightflight's guests, Andy Skurow & George Solomon, will preview and share tidbits about the "I Hear A Symphony" expanded edition.
John's teaser of Andy presented in a different way was a pre-recorded invite by Andy.

[midnight johnny]

I wasn't able to listen in to your show last night MJ, but what was your news about Andy and George's next show with you??

We missed you, Ross! Thanks, Carole!

[jobeterob]

That's definitely a show to catch!

[RossHolloway]

Thanks Carole and MJ.
