"Nightflight" Tue May 21, 9P-12M ET:More Amazing Original Backing Tracks!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy, Folks. It's been a horrible few days for the Oklahomans...the shocking power of the forces of nature have caused unbelievable devastation. Our hearts and prayers are with the many thousands of those affected. Tonight's show is for them...it's not much, but empathy and hope are all I got.

Tonight's show is the 2nd and final installment of Original, Authentic Backing Tracks, the musical element of songs that allows the musicians and background singers to shine. There will be no lead vocals to distract from what's going on in the background. I just thought I'd give the background of these great Pop, Rock, Motown and Soul tracks to be
given it's due. Speaking of "due"....DO join me tonight....for all this and more...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaing worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)
Thanks! John

Hey John, looking forward to more OABT's on tonights Nighflight program. Would you by any chance have any OABT's of the Doors. Maybe something featuring Ray Manzarek's unique, upfront key boarding? See you and the gang later on the Radiola.

Rest In Peace Ray Manzarek. Thank you for the music.

[R. Mark Desjardins]

John, not only are you the "Motown Man" with heart and soul, you obviously have a lot of compassion for others as well. As always, I will be listening this evening, and my thoughts going out to the people of Oklahoma.

Joseph....hey there! As some backing tracks have been very easy to locate, some artists are most difficult....no Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, Billy Joel, Petula Clark and no
Doors. We Motown fans are so lucky that so much popular and rare Motown backing tracks have been available...and many of them thanks to Andy Skurow from the Original
karaokes. Sorry....really! See you later on the Radiola, my friend!

[midnight johnny]

Donna Summer....luv this tune...has such a happy feeling to it.

I agree mike...and I love the video....I think the producer was the same as Rick Astley and BAnanananananarama and Kim Wilde.

[Glenpwood]

Love this track and the whole Donna album from which it came, Another Place And Time....

[Glenpwood]

Yep, Stock Aiken Waterman..... They did cut tracks for a follow up for Donna then had a falling out with her so they cut those tracks on a different artist who's name escapes me at the moment

[texassoul]

John, may I make a request for next week's show?

[midnight johnny]

John, may I make a request for next week's show?


Well....I did have a plan.....

[midnight johnny]

John, may I make a request for next week's show?

...but what's your thought?

[Methuselah2]

I always thought there was so much more to Mary and Flo when with Diana than just moving their hands and shaking their hips.

[texassoul]

Well....I did have a plan.....

I'll wait for another time. Don't wanna interfere with your plan.

[texassoul]

2 more hours please! The Marvin track is brilliant.

[midnight johnny]

I'll wait for another time. Don't wanna interfere with your plan.

You could always do a "Listener's Choice" show, Mike and choose the music ...

[midnight johnny]

2 more hours please! The Marvin track is brilliant.

Glad you liked that!!!

[texassoul]

Hmmmmm......3 hours worth? Or maybe 10 songs?

[texassoul]

Thank you very much for NOT playing Kung Fu........!!!

[texassoul]

The best song ever? ANMHE?

[Methuselah2]

Interesting and unexpected show tonight. Thanks for the great music.

[R. Mark Desjardins]

John, sorry about posting so late. I really dug the wide range diversity of music backing tracks you played last evening. With so many digital radio programs worldwide to listen to, Night Flight show is consistently good and fun. I going to Los Angeles for three weeks in June, and will try my best to track down a cyber cafe nearby so I don't miss out.

[MotownLover]

John - Although I did not surface on the show last night, I was intently listening and enjoying the show. I agree that the wide range of music added the right touch to the show. I look forward to your Petula Clark tribute next week. Have a great week my friend!

Howard...thanks...and glad you were listening, but I missed your presence on the SDF with us. I'm very excited about the Petula tribute...I've found some amazing things that I
haven't aired on previous PC tributes. See you next week!!

[midnight johnny]

Bobby Taylor & Thom Bell, maybe??

Mike....an amazing instrumental of Philly doing Motown....thanks so much!!!
I would agree with you...Bobby Taylor and Thom Bell...never realized they collaborated!

What would be very interesting [[and I'm sure you've already thought of this) would be if you could use the Four Tops vocal with the BT & TB instrumental!!

[midnight johnny]

Mike...I certainly would love to put those 2 together....alas, not really possible since the 2 versions are totally different in instrumentation. But thanks for the suggestion!
