Actually Ross....not sure....I find so much material, sometimes I record it and don't always get the source. I also got a "Nathan Jones" and a "Signed Sealed Delivered" from the same place...where ever that was...

The UK would put out lots of albums like that.

It is a great song. Love that expanded CD of the "To Love Again" album. Lots of great material from Michael Masser who I think knew her voice better than anyone, even [[dare I say it?) Ashford and Simpson.

**theboyfromxtown** · 06-28-2011, 11:15 PM

What about one on the Marvelettes. To pay tribute to Gladys

**dba** · 06-28-2011, 11:16 PM

DR does Stelly Dan!!!

**lovechild** · 06-28-2011, 11:20 PM

woo hoo Swept Away sounds Hot!

**lovechild** · 06-28-2011, 11:22 PM

I could go for some Barry/Love Unlimited

**lovechild** · 06-28-2011, 11:29 PM

Its Hard For Me To Say - since this was our surprise at last years show, I wonder what Diana will surprise us with in September? I remember hearing her sing this in the sound check ... chills and screams lol

**midnight johnny** · 06-28-2011, 11:33 PM

Thanks for your votes....keep 'em coming! Thus far 3 votes...3 different choices....oyyyyyyyyyyy!

**sophisticated_soul** · 06-28-2011, 11:33 PM

99 1/2 just won't do!! Love it!

**dba** · 06-28-2011, 11:34 PM

Love Child when she did It's Hard at Radio City. You could hear audible responses from the audience and I hope she continues to do it

I am keeping my fingers crossed for her to sing it again. DBA- a Super Show Tonite Bravo to you! You have chosen almost all of the album cuts that I played the most through the years

LOL JP - I was leaning towards Philly, so...

**lovechild** · 06-28-2011, 11:43 PM

Blame it on the Sun - I could go for this as the surprise and have Stevie on the stage singing it with her again

You know John...THAT is a great idea...only problem is I don't know if I have enough Gladys tracks to cover 3 hours. Any ideas?

**dba** · 06-28-2011, 11:50 PM

MJ I have at least three hours of Gladys, maybe a future LC show?

It's not really about Gladys as a lead vocalist. Glady's GROUP was the Marvelettes and she was part of that group and tried to keep their name going for 50 odd years.

It also provides a taster for Marvelettes 2

**dba** · 06-28-2011, 11:53 PM

Gladys Knight is who i was talking about. sorry.

THAT is true! I will think about doing it in 2 weeks.....there IS so much to be played by those ladies!

I have to speak to Andy...maybe I can get some more material....

**midnight johnny** · 06-28-2011, 11:56 PM

David....a WONDERFUL show!! And guys....thanks to you all for being there for David's show. Keep voting!!!!

**dba** · 06-28-2011, 11:59 PM

Fitting that we should end this with a Berry Gordy composed song. I thank MJ for giving me this opportunity and for everybody who enjoys the music. Sleep well and good night from The Pines, Fire Island. Can't believe I did this from here, one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Wow let's move her b-day to the summer.

Great show, David! Thank You. I eagerly look forward, to the next one! I think Gladys Knight is a great choice. Thank you Johnny for creating the space where all these wonderful things can happen.

Thank you everybody for joining in and making a good thing better. And for those of you who haven't tried doing a Listener's Choice show, give it shot. It's a lot of fun and you get to hear all your favorite songs on the radio!

Nytol.

RossHolloway · 06-29-2011, 12:30 AM

What a great show. It was a lot of fun listening to the show and reading the running commentary. It's so nice to be able to celebrate the great music of this legendary singer, and really enjoy it with people who love her and her music just as much as I do! Thanks Everybody!
