A Happy Day After St Paddy's Day to you all! Tonight, we continue...and I think we will finish with the magnificent Motown year of 1968! Do join me tonight for the endless tribute to the Motown 45 rpm record that will, in fact, end soon. All that 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 Thanks! John

Endless MoTown

My MoTown,
The only music in my life
The only sound that's right

My MoTown,
You're every song that I sing
You're every dream I bring

And I
I want to share all this music
With the gang and you
No one else will do...

[midnight johnny]

What....no PHILLY???? [[*grin)

I hope to be home in time to catch the whole big show!

Glen...it wouldn't be a Motown party without you! Thanks for your glad words for me....Phew....Oh ...what a relief it is!

[MotownLover]

Anxiously awaiting your appearance tonight, John. Gonna be another good one with MoTowN sounds spinning and the volume turned way up high with just the right balance of bass and treble, like when I was growing up!

"started months ago and... will only end we hope after the next Motown physical releases and not before"

[supremester]

I had no idea Frank Wilson produced this!

[carole cucumber]

Johnny,

Congratulations on your new residence. You're obviously are excited about it.
Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life" was not played last week. It will be coming up in a couple of discs.

[supremester]

LOL I looked it up!

[carole cucumber]

Jimmy Clark wrote Brenda's "Play it Cool, Stay In School"

[Glenpwood]

Do you think Smokey sang this song to Berry when he announced they were moving to California 3 years later?

[supremester]

This is a PSA for after the riots. It was radio - only and produced by my hero, Deke Richards. Great vocal by Smokey.....

[jayedsel]

I love the Detroit tribute song by Smoky.

Stevie & Syreeta were married for a year and a half, if memory serves me right.

[carole cucumber]

Your version of 'Special Occasion" need not be saved only for special occasions -but is soooooo good for everyday listening

[midnight johnny]

Thank you, Carole!!! It's such a lovely song....should have originally been made 5 minutes long!!

[texassoul]

Hello from Houston, John. Sorry to be late, but the dog........!! Hello fellow SoulfulDetroiters! Hope everyone is enjoying this brilliant show tonight.

[supremester]

This is a belated nugget: When I first met Martha - 1978-1980 - one of those times, she told me she HATED I Can't Dance because its Syreeta on the chorus and "she makes me sound like a chipmunk!" Martha was a little heated about it still.

[supremester]

And hi To Joseph! No news on Humphreys yet - but keep an eye ; )

[supremester]

And Hi To Bobby - thanks again for all of your tunes!

[midnight johnny]

Mike....great to see you....and thank you!!!!

[144man]

"A Little Bit For Sandy" is a really good pop song. Maybe not being typical of what people expected from Motown stopped it from becoming a hit.

[sophisticated_soul]

I like "Chained". This "Sandy" is okay. I've never heard any of his Motown stuff until this show.

[sophisticated_soul]

And hi To Joseph! No news on Humphreys yet - but keep an eye ; )

Hey Gregg-
Humphrey's announces their Summer schedule soon. I'm definitely keeping and eye. Keep me posted. Thanks.

[Ryon6]

We hear you Johnny. What's up? Tyrone from the ATL

[texassoul]

Yes, we heard you singing through your open mic!!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy there, Tyrone....great to see you!!!

[midnight johnny]

Yes, we heard you singing through your open mic!!

That wasn't me, Mike...that was a Mandante!

[Ryon6]

Thanks for the shout-out

[midnight johnny]

Thanks for the shout-out

Of course, Tyrone!!!!

[texassoul]

Now THIS is a tune!!!

[Ryon6]

There's that Mandante again

[midnight johnny]

There's that Mandante again

[[*smile)....I bet you have one in your house too.....

[RossHolloway]

I love both sides of the Eivets Rednow 45's.

[texassoul]

What year was it that David Ruffin got sacked by the Temps?

[supremester]

Hey Joseph - do you recall meeting my bud Geoff at Humphreys last time? He's a new NightFlight convert and is listening tonight. He loves Motown and this show. Anyway, even if they announce without her on it yet, I still expect her there in late summer - unless the wedding gets in the way ' )

[texassoul]

TUNE!!! Luv this.

[Glenpwood]

I love Destination Anywhere. Now here's a song actually deserving a three page thread catfight in the forum about its chart performance

[texassoul]

I'm pretty sure we can still hear you! ;o))

[midnight johnny]

What year was it that David Ruffin got sacked by the Temps?

1968
...right around the time the Supremes and the Tempts were together on Ed Sullivan
