Howdy "Nightflight" Listeners!! First of all, I'd like to thank Universal Vault Manager Andy Skurow for a wonderful and clarifying visit last week. And he'll also join us next week for a very special show featuring live on-air one of Motown's grand ladies...I'll tell you who it is tonight during the show. And speaking of tonight's show....we are continuing with another very important year for Motown artists...a year of musical transition...1967! So 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 streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org Thanks!! John PS: A huge thanks to Bobby Gardner [[SDF's OWN rossholloway) for making tonight's show possible by sharing the tracks we'll be airing tonight.

But............
In the case of Smokey & Tata, both are known by first names that are not their name of birth.

And . . .
Their non-given names follow each other alphabetically.

Hi John!Ready for more musical delights from 1967 with you and the gang! See everyone shortly!Although I've been having a faux pas sort of day, I think it's safe to say that we won't be seeing [[or hearing) Shortly Long as he has no other single released in 1967 other than "Chantilly Lace"/"Your Love Is Amazing" which Johnny played last week/

Slept right through to the alarm this week. G'morning, John.

**144man** · 02-11-2014, 10:07 PM

There's no flooding where I live, though there might have been if my alarm hadn't gone off!

**carole cucumber** · 02-11-2014, 10:08 PM

It's Wild!- It's Different!- It's Out Of Sight!- It's the Supremes!

supremester · 02-11-2014, 10:10 PM

I have never heard YOUR The Happening - love it! This was, for a year and a half, my fave Supremes record - EVER. Love Child supplanted it and then You Cant Hurry Love, Baby Love, Back In My Arms Again and I Hear A Symphony reclaimed the title - to a tie!

The libretto says it is a Motown legend that it was a demo for the tops.

Eddie Willis occasionally played the sitar on Motown songs Perhaps it is he here.

"There's A Ghost.." and "Festival Time" both UK hits in the 1970s.

Just HOW naughty, "Midnight' Johnny"????? Gale Storm, I understand - but I draw the line at Nugie! My first" Ricky Nelson.....I was 5 and stared at the TV and ached when he came on. One day, when I was 19, he walked into a restaurant where I was hanging with friends and well, if you saw Lucy Ricardo at The Brown Derby .........it was like that.

**carole cucumber** · 02-11-2014, 10:42 PM

In the libretto, Dennis Coffey snitches on which Funk Brothers he saw a lot and which he saw only a few times at Ric-Tic.

**MotownLover** · 02-11-2014, 10:43 PM

Better late than never. Howdy ya'll!

Where is this libretto you speak of?

**carole cucumber** · 02-11-2014, 10:44 PM

"I've Been Blessed" is not the same song as "Oh I've Been Blessed"

**MotownLover** · 02-11-2014, 10:45 PM

Been listening all along, actually. Just didn't make it to the Motown Forum til now...

**carole cucumber** · 02-11-2014, 10:45 PM

Libretto=liner notes in TCMS

Gregg.....I can see you knocking that cake into Ricky's face!!!!

thomas96 · 02-11-2014, 10:49 PM

Bobby Taylor's "Oh I've Been Bless'd" is a beauty!!

John, it's called "atrophy" when one fails to exercise their brain. At my age, I often say "My brain is mush" when I can't remember something that I ought to be able to recall.

I DID embarrass myself and waitresses gave up trying to move me from the middle of the aisle as I stared at him eating his Denny's Deluxe and just walked around me. Finally, I got the nerve to go over to him and his blue eyes and hairy chest and he was SO nice [[not so his manager.)

OK Gale Storm: My Little Margie or Oh, Suzannah! ???
