"Nightflight" Tue Jan 22, 9P-12M ET:"Joseph Monreal's Etta James Tribute #2"

[JimBagley]

Is this an alternate version of It Keeps You Running?

[lovechild]

OMG a Sly song! Gotta Love It~!

[midnight johnny]

Mannnnnnnnnnnnn...."If You want Me To Stay".....another brilliant one!!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Don't Stop - i really like this song sounds like it could've been good for radio at the right time..

That was Etta's favorite track from "Changes".

[lovechild]

WOW Etta did some awesome covers that I never knew about! Thanks for tuning me in Soph

[texassoul]

Never heard Etta's version of "Miss You". Have heard Ann Peebles version, which is incredible. Etta's arrangement is different, which I really like. Thanks for playing this.

I'm not sure which song you are refering to?

[JimBagley]

Would have loved to hear Dennis and Etta duet on Shaky Ground.

Your welcome. There's also a 12" version of "Miss You" as well. I'll have to hear Ann Peebles version.

Would have loved to hear Dennis and Etta duet on Shaky Ground.

Interesting idea. I think it would have worked well.

You're very welcome Tone! You know me, music is everything to me!

[lovechild]

Interesting idea. I think it would have worked well.

ok so this sounds like a new project for John! lol

[JimBagley]

I'm not sure which song you are refering to?

It was right before the Sly Stone song and the melody sounded like It Keeps You Running by the Doobie Brothers.

[texassoul]

Your welcome. There's also a 12" version of "Miss You" as well. I'll have to hear Ann Peebles version.

The backing track to the Ann Peebles version sounds almost identical to the Stones'.

Gee...what GREAT music tonight! I've not known much of Etta's music. Such great blues numbers with full productions and background singers. Throughout her career she must have no doubt been on a number of record labels, right? Did she prefer a specific set of musicians and singers backing her? Did she have her own Andantes?

[JimBagley]

I would love to hear a show put together by each of the regular listeners.

[Methuselah2]

The music is wonderful.
And now that great conversation.
You guys!
What a terrific, special night!

[texassoul]

Oh dear Jim!! You're scaring me. ;o)

[midnight johnny]

I would love to hear a show put together by each of the regular listeners.

Great idea, Jim....but that shouldn't stop you from putting together a Philly show...because TRULLLYYYYYYY....i got the PHILLY ITCH...and I can't scratch it!!!!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

It was right before the Sly Stone song and the melody sounded like It Keeps You Running by the Doobie Brothers.

"Don't Stop" does have a very commercial sound. It was her favorite but the label chose to release two other less commercial sounding tracks. I'll have to check out that Doobie song.

Throughout her career she must have no doubt been on a number of record labels, right? Did she prefer a specific set of musicians and singers backing her? Did she have her own Andantes?

She was on a number of different labels and her session musicians and background singers varied greatly, though they were almost always top session folks who were very pleased to work with her.

[sophisticated_soul]

ok so this sounds like a new project for John! lol

Great idea! I second that emotion.

[sophisticated_soul]

The music is wonderful.
And now that great conversation.
You guys!
What a terrific, special night!

Thanks Bruce, I appreciate that!

[MotownLover]

Thanks Joseph. It sounds like all involved were really into it, having a good time doing the sessions with her.

Very strong country flavored arrangement.

[sophisticated_soul]

Disco Etta!

Very late 70's soul.

[lovechild]

Cool i like this Disco Etta track

[Glenpwood]

Been listening intently and loving it all tonight Joseph [[ and John). You've sequenced this perfectly. Thanks for the shout out on the air and I would love the challenge of putting a show together down the road. Its just a shame theres not three hours worth of Lewis Sisters material I can get my hands on. Meeting with everyone here every Tuesday to share the love of the music is a great joy and I couldn't ask for a finer group of people to enjoy it with

[sophisticated_soul]

Etta was 17 when she recorded "Good Rockin' Daddy"!

[lovechild]

ohoh what is this one? chills already... losers weepers?

[texassoul]

Wots this??!! Now you're talking my language!!

I'm looking forward to your first show Glen. And I couldn't agree with you more about what a great group we have here. Music lovers enjoying the music. I always look forward to the shows.

Joseph - Do you know anything about Etta's appearance on the TV special DIANA ROSS: RED HOT RHYTHM AND BLUES? I've often heard Diana mention that Etta was one of her all-time favorite singers, so I was really pleased that Etta was on that special. But I've also heard that it was not a good experience for Etta.

[sophisticated_soul]

Background singers are not credited on the "Tell Mama" album sessions.

[texassoul]

Joseph & John, moving from the computer to the bed, but wouldn't miss the last 30 minutes of this fine show for anything. Joseph, I can't thank you enough for sharing this amazing music with us. I think we all heard something for the first time. I know how much time you put into organizing and researching all of the music. I really appreciate your doing this show for us and I won't miss the next one. Take care.

Best,
Mike Wheeler - Houston

[lovechild]

John thank you for playing a bit of my favorite Barry and Glodean track!

Maybe Diana want her to sing Work That Body or Turn Me Over on the special and Etta had to tell her they were not Red Hot, Rhythm, or Blues......

But.....do think about it. And that last thing you said was very kind!

Thanks for checking, Joe!

John thank you for playing a bit of my favorite Barry and Glodean track!

It's soo pretty..........

[sophisticated_soul]

Wowwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeee WOW WOW WOW!!! [[from "The Continental)

When Diva's collide! At least they had mutual respect for one another. I'm sure Diana backed down, Etta could've knocked her into tomorow!! LOL!!!!

[Methuselah2]

Thanks for your answer, Joseph. Very much appreciated.

And thank you so much for this exceptionally beautiful Etta tribute. One terrific song, one sensational vocal performance after the other. Etta Over the Moon tonight! And I'm over the moon now, too. Etta Via Joseph. Just the way I love it.

Oh, hi John. How are you?

[JimBagley]

Thank you for the gritty take on Every Little Bit Hurts.
