"Nightflight" Tue Mar 19, 9P-12M ET:Harry Weinger LIVE/Vandellas 50th Anniversary....

[Ryon6]

Who's the sax player on I Can't Dance? It makes the record a favorite.

[sophisticated_soul]

Of the three versions of "I Can't Dance . . . " I think the second version was the best.

[carole cucumber]

It's been pushed back a week?????

[marybrewster]

Greetings mj and HW!

Enjoying the show and LOVING the alternate of "I Can't Dance".

Am curious to know; were Martha, Nettie, Roz, Betty, or Lois involved in anyway in the new 50th Anniversary collection? Contributing to liner notes, providing never-before-seen photos, etc?

[Ryon6]

Fingers are crossed Harry. I sure hope so!

Thanks Harry for responding to my Miracles set question. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!

Tyrone

[sophisticated_soul]

Thanks Harry. Always a pleasure.

[hwume]

Please play 'I Can't wait Till Summer Comes'

Yeah, please play it!

[carole cucumber]

All Johhny Bristol's Motown songwriting credits are listed as John Bristol.

[midnight johnny]

Alternate version = Martha's Honey Bee [[Keep On Stinging' Me). Our British friends are going to go wild!!!!

Carole...what are you talking about?

[MotownSteve]

Third Finger, one of my favorites. Keep up the good work.

[sophisticated_soul]

Her version of "Light My Fire" is actually pretty good.

[Ryon6]

Is Remember Me, the Ashford-Simpson/Diana Ross classic?

[carole cucumber]

When Deke Richards/Debbie's Dean/Janie Bradford 's original version of Diana Ross & the Supremes' "Honey Bee [[Keep On Stinging Me) was released on ' A Cellarful Of Motown Vol 2" , our British friends spoke of it's quick popularity on the Northern soul scene.
I think that the same thing will happen with the alternate version of 'I Can't Dance To the Music You're Playing'.

[MotownLover]

Great! "You've Been In Love Too Long"...gotta be one of most favorite Martha & The Vandellas tunes...

Thank you MJ. You do realize that Dennis Lussier is Deke Ricards?

Tyrone

[carole cucumber]

Is Remember Me, the Ashford-Simpson/Diana Ross classic?

No, it is not.
Johnny, Dennis Lussier is Deke Richards' name of birth.

[danman869]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Dennis Lussier Deke Richards' real name?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....GOTCHA!! Thanks!

[sophisticated_soul]

Hey John, would you play "Hooked Real Good On A Bad Thing"? I'm really curious.

[danman869]

Carole, you beat me to it!

And Remember Me is a great ballad. It sounds very much from the "Watchout!" era of songs [[1966-67) Can't wait to have it clean and remastered on this set!

[carole cucumber]

Please, more from disc 3
How about S.O.S. Girl In Distress.
Harry didn't address whether it is/is not the same song recorded by Marv Johnson.

[midnight johnny]

No, it is not.
Johnny, Dennis Lussier is Deke Richards' name of birth.

Ryon and Carole...now that you mention it.....thanks!!!

Originally assigned to Marv Johnson...I'll pop that on next!

[carole cucumber]

Also see post #69 from Sophisticated Soul.
The lyrics are completely different from Marv Johnson's version of S.O.S. Girl In Distress; the musical track is basically the same.

Ashford & Simpson, I didn't know. How cool is that! Good song. Thanks John

[midnight johnny]

Ashford & Simpson, how cool is that! Good song. Thanks John

My ears must be deceiving me..... something sounds different on My Baby Loves Me

Same here! And I think HW did answer my question; it sounds as though Annette was involved in this new set?

Thanks for introducing us to this great collection.

Midnight Johnny - Check your private messages.

[carole cucumber]

Harry Weinger said last night that the release date of the 50th anniversary Collections was April 9, yet websites such as Amazon, Import CD's, etc all show April 2, as originally announced.
Has or has there not been a change of release date?

[hwume]

APRIL 2 IS THE CORRECT DATE.

Sorry about that.

[midnight johnny]

Great! "You've Been In Love Too Long"...gotta be one of most favorite Martha & The Vandellas tunes...
