"Nightflight" Tues May 14, 9P-12 M ET:The REAL, TRUE, AUTHENTIC, and ORIGINAL...

[midnight johnny]

Howdy there, Nightflighters! Welcome to a show that I am most excited about. Over the past few months...maybe longer...I've tried to give you the music that you know and love,
but yet and still [[thanks, Mary!) in a variety of perspectives....the background vocalists, the remixes and extended versions [[courtesy of Tom Moulton...thanks Tom! ...and also yours truly), the Detroit Symphony Strings, etc. Tonight, I have the pleasure of sharing with you
the real, true, authentic and original backing tracks...those tracks created and produced BEFORE the lead vocals are added. Over the past week, I have researched exhaustively [[that a word?) and scoured all available sources to find for you, not only the original backers, but the highest quality. I have assembled Motown backers which I have aired from time to time, and also a variety of non-Motown tracks. What's exciting to me is
that today...as I was preparing for the show...I stumbled upon a cornucopia of backing tracks that I didn't realize existed....and they are quite beautiful and surprising.
So do join me tonight for the unveiling of some amazing backing tracks of music that you are familiar with. All that and more...tonight, on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)
Thanks! John

[Glenpwood]

Am I the only one who's lost the stream?

[sophisticated_soul]

[Glenpwood]

Just got it back....

[sophisticated_soul]

Started back up, so far so good.:)

[midnight johnny]

[midnight johnny]

Oh mannnnnnnnn!!!

[midnight johnny]

Started back up, so far so good.:)


Phewwwwwww.....keep me informed...not that I have powers to help....but I empathize very well....

[Ryon6]

I'm listening too MJ - from the ATL. The song "1-2-3" by Len Berry does not sound like "Ask Any Girl" at all [[to me).

Tyrone

Tyrone...welcome...and welcome back!! 1-2-3 really doesn't...you and I are so very RIGHT!

[sophisticated_soul]

I never really thought "1-2-3" sounded that much like "Ask Any Girl". However, hearing just the instrumental it does have a real strong similarity to "Ask Any Girl". Do you have an instrumental backing track for AAG to compare?

[Glenpwood]

Fabulous backing track to Along Comes Mary. The two disc Anthology Now Sounds put out last year of The Association A & B sides single mixes for Valiant and Warner Bros. is stellar and worth picking up.

Awwww...no....I don't have an original authentic BT ...actually ...no version at all....sorry, Joe...

[carole cucumber]

Was 'Along Comes Mary' from Now Sounds mono reissue 'And Then... Along Comes The Association'?

Ahhhh...yessss......

[Glenpwood]

I never knew Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager had a love affair. Did it end because she got caught with Burt Bacharach between the moon and New York City?;)

[MotownLover]

Wonderful!!! "Turn! Turn! Turn!" - One of my 60s favorites of non-Motown tunes. Just recently copied it to a disc for a dear friend's funeral as one of the post-service songs.

Howard in Long Beach, CA :rolleyes:

[MotownLover]

You're smokin' now! - Love Is Like An Itchin'...!!!!

[MotownLover]

John...a question I've been meaning to ask for the longest time: Why is the town crier always crying?

Just wondering... :p

[texassoul]

Evening John! Thought you were gonna play "Wouldn't It Be Nice", one of your very best remixes, IMHO.

It sounded more like Dionne Warwick's backing track to me too, John.

[midnight johnny]

Yeah, Joseph....I think you are right!

[Glenpwood]

Why folks never lined up for Richard Carpenter arrangements on their albums I'll never know. His ear for detail was always superb.

Thanks for another very fine evening John!

[JL2648]

John, I really enjoyed your show. Great to hear the back track for the Four Tops' "Walk Away Renee". As a side note, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" was at the top of the Billboard chart when I was born.
