Attachment 2962

Tonight, on "Nightflight" the world premiere airing of the new, highly anticipated UMG release The Supremes "Let yourself Go"- The '70's Albums, Vol 2: 1974-1977...the Final Sessions"! The title is not the only thing that is a mouthful. Tonight, live by phone, to celebrate this amazing release....the SUPREMES, as well as the compilation's producer, Andy Skurow.

I want to thank Andy, for his talent, tirelessness and plate-spinning ability in making tonight's show possible. I also want to thank Andy, executive producer Harry Weinger, associate producer George Solomon and engineer Kevin Reeves for making the compilation possible..and as great as it is. Finally, I want to thank Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene for sharing their hearts and souls with their fans for so many years. Ladies...you are the BEST!

All this tonight and more...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live on the internet at www.womr.org

One more thing....since the phone lines will be busy tonight with
Andy Skurow and the Supremes [[like that, Andy? ), please no phone calls.
Thanks so very much. Now, I'll go take some Valium...
John

If Andy doesn't behave, warn him he'll be sleeping on a park bench when he comes to London next!

[Motown Andy]

Oh John P., tonight is going to be SO MUCH FUN! The fans have no idea what their getting into, do they? OMG!
Now, John L., I promise to behave myself as much as I can, but as you know, I have such little self-control!
See you all on the radio!

[midnight johnny]

The fans have no idea what their getting into, do they?

Andy....I don't think I have any idea what I'M getting into!

[theboyfromxtown]

Exactly....that's why you had to be warned.

Good evening Ladies, welcome to the show and thank you for your time.

When looking back over your amazingly successful careers, if you had the power to change one business decision or moment made by you or any of your peers and or colleagues, what would it be, how would you change it and why?

Good Evening Everyone!

MJ I have a question for the ladies, should I submit it now or wait?

[longtimefan]

Can you let us know why Cindy is not available via phone? Hopefully she is well. Does she choose not to participate in secular music? Thank you.

[carlo]

We need some kind of CD signing event for this release. I would be there in a heartbeat!!

rod...you said exactly what has happened about my heart softening towards Mary. All the things that I have not been happy about that Mary did [[which I had made no bones about previously)...well...it seems that doing a lot of thinking about it...and talking with some wise folks...it has allowed me to see all that mess in a bit of a different way...I can see those things with a different perspective. I was able to gain that perspective before I spoke with Mary on Tuesday. And then speaking with her...which is something I will always cherish....well, suffice to say....I have been softened. And they say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks...
not so true. Thanks, rod, for being part of this....and for your comments and support...

John...I very much enjoyed your interview with Mary Wilson, in particular...the whole show was simply "Supreme"...thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable evening...john

MJ-

Bravo. I will say after reading this post, I have a hell of a lot more respect for you. Not that you need my respect, but you probably saw my post above questioning if the same midnightjohnny that posts here was the same midnightjohnny that interviewed Mary. To me, they were two completely different people.

Not that you've asked for it, but a quick story: a while back, I had a lot of disdain for one Miss Lynda. And then I don't know exactly what happened, but I came to the conclusion of who the hell am I to judge anyone? It's one thing to be candid or critical, but I certainly wasn't "there", so what good were my snarky comments and low blows doing? Especially when, like you, I have the medium to spread love and joy. In my "real life" I promote harmony and goodwill; I think it's just easy sometimes to hide behind a computer screen and become someone that you really aren't, or shouldn't be. It certainly didn't help my "light" shine any brighter, and I'm sure it didn't help Miss Lynda's that some overweight, sassy drag queen was being rude.

Anyway, I don't want to get too "preachy", but I will say I enjoyed your interviews with these 4 legendary ladies [[Andy being the 4th *smile*) and send you praise.

My best to you, MJ.

mary brewster...I know previously, we hadn't always seen eye to eye, but I am very touched and appreciative of what you have said. No....midnight johnny and I are sort of the same person. On the air...I can't always explain [[and probably that's a very good idea) some of the things I say. And here, I have more of an opportunity to say much more [[and THAT may NOT be a good idea *smile). I appreciated your quick story....it allowed me to know you a bit better, and it showed me how much more alike we are than not.
I'm glad you liked the interviews....thank you, mary brewster...very much...
My best to you, too...
John

[JimBagley]

Hi Andy! Thanks for coming.

[longtimefan]

That new intro on THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE IN YOU was heard for many years on a tape of The Supremes rehearsing that song! The rehearsal tape goes on and on with the girls practicing the background. Have others in SDF heard this rehearsal tape?

[JimBagley]

Hi Mary! Welcome!

[theboyfromxtown]

I bet you're nervous John.....

You're doing fine.

[JimBagley]

I bet you're nervous John.....

You're doing fine.

John,What time is it where you are? As always, you are the Motown man.

[sophisticated_soul]

I bet you're nervous John.....

You're doing fine.

Glad you stayed up for this special, John.

[sophisticated_soul]

OMG! Mary Wilson!

[MotownSteve]

Loving the Mary Wilson interview.

[texassoul]

Hi John. Listening in on my IPhone. Fantastic show! Mike Wheeler - Houston

[longtimefan]

Mary Wilson is the most articulate spokesperson for Motown. She has honed her skills as a speaker -- not just a vocalist. Mary could 'carry her own" on any television show, radio performance, or written material. She is the epitome of a professional entertainer. Just look at her staying power; her website outlines many of her activities, too.

If you ever have the opportunity to meet her, you will discover that she is down-to-earth and authentic. God bless her!

[Penny]

Great interviewer and superb interviewee! John and Mary!

[theboyfromxtown]

It's 2:51 in the morning for me, I got matchsticks keeping my eyes open

[theboyfromxtown]

John

What about the new album from Mary

[theboyfromxtown]

Rolling stones!! WOW

[dba]

The Mary interview was amazing, but confused about her talking about Jean and Florence leaving and that Cindy isn't even mentioned as even joining???

[sophisticated_soul]

Thank you, Mary Wilson. Thank you very much!
