....We get Stacks and Stacks of Letters!"....
But I'm going to play these remixes anyway!

Hey folks....midnight johnny here...TOTALLY in lower case tonight. I've got some more great tracks that I've tampered with....merely to make them a bit longer and to show off some of that great instrumentation. Motown, of course, will be the main course...
but I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve....but I am NOT a WITCH!
So join me tonight...for all this and more...on "Nightflight"...
on WOMR 92.1 FM/WFMR 91.2 FM and streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org)

Thanks!
John

PS...and remember....Harry Weinger is joining me again on "Nightflight" on Oct 19!!!

Hi John,
Sounds good. I'll catch K.O. at the 8pm showing so I can catch most of if not all of your show.
Motown Steve

[midnight johnny]

Motown Steve...great....I'll be watching K.O. with you!

[sophisticated_soul]

but I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Shouldn't you let them out to get air?

[midnight johnny]

Shouldn't you let them out to get air?



Oh!!!!!! VERY good!!!!!! But YOU know why I can't let them out....heh heh....

[MotownSteve]

Hey John,
Did you catch the last five minutes or so of the show?

I missed it...in transit to the station...but iI taped it. Man...what a show....those Republicans always seem to find a way to find an even more sleazy thing to do....

[sophisticated_soul]

No it's not 105 degrees today! That was last week, then three days later it was raining! Today it only made it to 64 degrees. Looks like summer and the hot weather I love is over for this year. Where are my mood elevaters?! LOL!!!

[MotownSteve]

John,
Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExzINsaq4LI
Also, I'm really enjoying this 5th Dimension music.

Santa Ana's are winds that blow through the city from off the desert and thus very hot. That's what the 105 degrees was about. But it was a weak Santa Ana. The whole summer was mild, temps were often 10 to 15 degrees lower than normal. We only averaged in the high 70's this summer. It was kind of a drag [[yeah, I know I'm spoiled!). The weather will still fluctuate through out Oct. This weekend is expected to be in the high 70's. It's coldest here in Dec/Jan. Too much information? LOL!

I used to try - unsuccessfuly - to hold that long note with Marilyn and Florence toward the end of California Soul when I was a kid.

[sophisticated_soul]

Marilyn and Florence

Monroe and Henderson?

[JimBagley]

No - Marilyn Miscovitz and Florence Finklestein. They rock.

[MotownSteve]

The rain was going sideways one day last week.
The turnpike is ultimate boredom. As you just said, the GSP is nicer. IMO much nicer.

[sophisticated_soul]

"Back In My Arms Again"! Thanks for playing one of my most favorite remixes by you.

[sophisticated_soul]

No - Marilyn Miscovitz and Florence Finklestein. They rock.

Not Marilyn Horne and Florence Ballard!? LOL!

[sophisticated_soul]

Yeah, I thought the sax sounded stronger. Love it!

[sophisticated_soul]

Love "Sinner Man"!

[MotownSteve]

Ditto. Great Song.

[sophisticated_soul]

Ditto. Great Song.

It was one of my most favorite songs to dance to. When I used to dance. Back in the day. Way, back in the day! LOL!

[JimBagley]

[QUOTE=sophisticated_soul;10835]Not Marilyn Horne and Florence Ballard!? LOL![/QUOTE

Much better choices.


Happy birthday Kevin. Lay off the sauce.

[sophisticated_soul]

Re Tammi: The set contains ALL of her pre-Motown recordings [[not just some). I'm so excited about this release. I got an e-mail from Hip-O today saying [[Hip-O) site pre-orders would be mailed by this Friday! Oh Mama!

[lovechild]

[MotownSteve]

Sandie Shaw is back on the sound track of the new movie Made in Dagenham

[JimBagley]

Hey Tony. I need to go order my Tammi Terrell set right now.

[lovechild]

hey Joseph I was able to finally record the TAmmi Unsung special.

Thanks John - Jeff is doing so well that he gets to go home on Saturday!

[JimBagley]

Thanks Johnny. I need to get you to tackle another Thom Bell production: Ronnie Dyson's glorious "I Think I'll Tell Her."

[sophisticated_soul]

If I was on the other side of the mike, I would want you to do the same for me, John Perroneous.

[midnight johnny]

Thanks Johnny. I need to get you to tackle another Thom Bell production: Ronnie Dyson's glorious "I Think I'll Tell Her."

You're welcome, Jim...I have a Ronnie Dyson collection at home...I'll check it out! Thanks!

[sophisticated_soul]

hey Joseph I was able to finally record the TAmmi Unsung special.

It's a really good specail. Sad though.

[MotownSteve]

The Tammie set is £11.99 pre-order at amazon uk. I'd guess about £4 shipping at the most. Should be under $25.00. Go figure.

[lovechild]

Cool this is one of my favorite ICEMAN tunes

[sophisticated_soul]

Joseph, I know what you mean by 'Back in the day. Way, back in the day! LOL!'

Boomers Forever! :-)

Wow, that's a great price. How can they offer it so much cheaper in the UK?

I know I'm paying more to get it sooner. But this set is an exception to my general fiscal responsiblity. I want it yesterday! LOL!!

[MotownSteve]

Hi Jim. I don't know. I got CFOM #4 and the Isley Brothers Anthology for about $28 delivered. Motown Around The World: The Classic Singles is also £11.99. Sometimes when you put an item into your cart and go to check out the price drops. I've never seen it go up.

[JimBagley]

I guess I am helping the struggling US economy by buying it directly from hip-o for a lot more money?

[sophisticated_soul]

Nothing wrong with ordering from the UK if it's less. I've done that a number of times. It's a world economy. I ordered from Hip-O for selfish reasons! LOL!!

[JimBagley]

No, nothing at all. I'm just trying to make myself feel better about paying a lot more to have it sooner.

Now I need to get the Wilson Phillips Christmas cd pre-ordered on US Amazon.com.

[JimBagley]

April Fools - one of my top five Dionne Warwick recordings.

[midnight johnny]

Yes.....so pretty....

[sophisticated_soul]

April Fools

Also one of my favorites. Check it out by Vanessa Williams, Rosetta Hightower [[formerly of The Orlons) also does a very good version.

[lovechild]

do we have any Petula remixes coming up in the 3rd fat hour?

[midnight johnny]

do we have any Petula remixes coming up in the 3rd fat hour?

How about next....

[MotownSteve]

Every time I hear Up the Ladder.... I think how much I love the song.

[lovechild]

yeahhh Thanks John...

[lovechild]

heyyyy 2 Tons

[lovechild]

Karen...

[midnight johnny]

.........ywtf

[lovechild]

Beautiful Carpenters medley John!

[midnight johnny]

I think it is my favorite Motown song....

[MotownSteve]

Great Stevie Wonder remastering.

[midnight johnny]

Beautiful Carpenters medley John!


Thanks, Tony...but I didn't make it.....

[sophisticated_soul]

I think it is my favorite Motown song....

That's really saying something, John. If I was forced to pick just one I guess I'd say "Take Me In Your Arms [[Rock Me A Little)" by Kim Weston. The track just cooks from beginning to end, the Motown sound at it's best. And the vocal just blazes. "I said I wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead, hear I'm beggin, I'm beggin' you please!". Just blazes.

[sophisticated_soul]

Ah, Johnny, thanks so much for The Orlons. My favorite group in the whole wide world!

Damn...that's ANOTHER of my favorites! It's so hard to pick just one....

[MotownSteve]

I remember a discussion last week about 'Take Me in Your Arms' and I do love the way that Kim's version 'just cooks from beginning to end' but I think Eddie Holland's version is just a little hotter. It may be just my ears vs yours but I would gladly listen to either.

[midnight johnny]

Ah, Johnny, thanks so much for The Orlons. My favorite group in the whole wide world!

They really are a most wonderful group....so much great music they made....

[midnight johnny]

I must get ready to close.....Joseph...Tony...Jim... MotownSteve.....thanks so much...as always. See ya on the radio next week!

[lovechild]

yes sadly Izora passed in 2004 of heart failure

[midnight johnny]

....do the cha cha cha.....

[MotownSteve]

Hi John,
Thanks for another great show.
Motown Steve

[lovechild]

Gracias for another great show John
Have a great week!

[sophisticated_soul]

but I would gladly listen to either.

Exactly, me too. I remember that discussion, I thought about that when I was typing. As I mentioned I just prefer female vocalists. I always have. There's only a couple or so male singers I listen to with any regularity.

[midnight johnny]

yes sadly Izora passed in 2004 of heart failure

awwwwwwwwwwwww......

[sophisticated_soul]

Thanks for a great show, John. Thanks all, for making a good thing better:-)

[MotownSteve]

Same back at you Joseph

[sophisticated_soul]
