San Remo Golden Strings - Anthology

The San Remo Golden Strings - Anthology

The San Remo Golden Strings occupy a unique place in the history of Detroit soul. A revolving group of local session musicians (among them members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra) assembled by the fledgling Ric-Tic label to create easy listening-style instrumental renditions of contemporary pop hits, what should have been bland, cookie-cutter records instead tapped into the universal Motown groove -- there is a genuine soulfulness and swagger to their recordings that is completely unexpected, and entirely welcome. Not only was 1965's Hungry for Love a Top 30 pop hit, but for a while, the San Remo Golden Strings even included moonlighting members of Motown's own legendary house band the Funk Brothers -- in fact, this incarnation of the ensemble backed singer Edwin Starr on his classic "Agent Double O Soul," and when Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. discovered the ruse, he fined each guilty Funk Brother $1,000.00 for the transgression. Not surprisingly, given the music's Motown-wannabe roots, there's a pronounced Northern Soul vibe hanging over the proceedings, and some of these renditions are even more eminently danceable than the originals.

Roller Boogie 1979

VA - Roller Boogie (1979)

The soundtrack of the film largely draws on the disco sound that was popular in the late 1970s. A double-LP soundtrack was issued by Casablanca Records in 1979. Almost all of the tracks were written directly for the movie by Bob Esty and Michelle Aller. Esty/Aller had at the time recently scored a sizable hit, writing Cher's disco-single "Take Me Home". Incidentally, they produced Cher's accompanying LP of the same name, as well as the ill-fated follow-up Prisoner. Cher would contribute one song to the Roller Boogie soundtrack - the Esty produced Hell on Wheels, used in the opening sequence. The track originally featured on the Prisoner album, and a rare accompanying video clip featuring Cher roller-skating also appeared around the same time as the release of the movie. The song Lord is it Mine, performed by Bob Esty, was originally written by Supertramp's Roger Hodgson for their Breakfast in America LP. He also performed the tracks Summer Love, Rollin' Up a Storm, and Roller Boogie. The segued opening tracks of side two of the double LP, Electronix (Roller Dancin'), and the Latin-disco instrumental Cunga, are credited to Bob Esty and Cheeks. Craig Safan composed cues for the film's original score, however, the film tends to rely on actual songs as opposed to instrumental pieces. Along with Hell on Wheels, the other song on the soundtrack that was previously available prior to the soundtrack release is Earth, Wind & Fire's well-known disco single, Boogie Wonderland. Only one song featured in the movie does not feature on the soundtrack, Jean Shy's Night Dancer, which appears in the movie when Terry first visits the roller-disco rink.

Something different . . . Jacques Dutronc (1966)

Jacques Dutronc - Et Moi Et Moi Et Moi (1966)

One of the most dynamic and convincing rock musicians in the French '60s scene, Jacques Dutronc recorded several prime garage-pop-psychedelia albums in his time. Stylistically, he may be best compared to Ray Davies of the Kinks: like Davies, Dutronc combined strong American garage-rock influences with Beatle-era "beat" melodicism, along with irreverent homages to the music hall/vaudeville era. Plus, he paired up with Francoise Hardy, the most babilicious of all the ye-ye girls. Later, Dutronc moved into film acting, with roles in many movies, including alongside Catherine Denueve.

Stevie Wonder (1963)

Stevie Wonder - With A Song In My Heart (1963)

With A Song In My Heart is a 1963 album by Stevie Wonder on the Tamla (Motown) label. The album was the first to drop Wonder's Little nickname as the 13-year-old singer went the same route of his label mate Marvin Gaye and covered a set of standards. Like Gaye and other Motown acts, label president Berry Gordy wanted all of his artists to be established on a crossover basis. The album did not immediately spell success for Wonder on the adult contemporary set. Veteran jazz arranger Ernie Wilkins arranged and conducted the album.

She was great . . .

Diana Ross oct 16 Gelredome (Arnhem) Holland

Great voice, great performance. She sang all her hits, no medleys and some songs extended.
Love Child takes 5 minutes and ends in a sort of samba.
I'm Coming Out, My World Is Empty Without You, Stop In The Name Of Love, Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love, You Can't Hurry Love, I'm Still Waiting, Ease On Down The Road, The Boss, It's My House, Do You Know Where You're Going To, Upside Down, I Will Survive, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Chain Reaction, Love Hangover, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, I Love You More Todat Than Yesterday, A Brand New Day, Reach Out And Touch to name most of the songs she sang tonight. Together with a big orchestra (great strings) and two fabulous backing singers (they sometimes sounded like the Andantes) a real catch on DVD whet it comes out in november or december. BTW she changes dresses four times :-)

Free To Be . . . You And Me (1972)

VA - Free To Be . . . You And Me (1972)

Free to Be… You and Me is a record album and illustrated songbook for children, first released in November 1972, and later in 1974 as a television special,featuring songs and stories from celebrities (credited as "Marlo Thomas and Friends"). Using poetry, songs, and sketches, the basic concept was to salute values such as individuality, tolerance, and happiness with one's identity; a major thematic message is that anyone, whether a boy or a girl, can achieve anything one wants.The album has become a cult classic across the United States amongst many who were children in the 1970s.

Four Tops Live And In Concert

The Four Tops - Live And In Concert

Killer 70s work by the Four Tops, one of the group's best post-Motown albums, and a really hard-hitting batch of live tunes. There's a sound here that's grittier than just about any other Four Tops album, and that includes the classics for Motown, a style that brings together all the group's best growth of the time, and serves it up with a spontaneous, spirited approach that puts key emphasis on the vocals, and which also offers some tremendous interplay with the audience.
Plus, the backing combo on the set are pretty darn funky, so that the rhythms on most tracks are a lot harder and heavier than their studio counterparts. Includes a sublime 9 minute version of I Am Your Man, plus excellent takes on Ain't No Woman, Are You Man Enough, Baby I Need Your Loving", Midnight Flower, Keeper Of The Castle, and One Chain Don't Make No Prison.

The Remixes (vol 6 & 7)

Your DJ Midnight Johnny/John Perrone has always had a passion for MOTOWN, R&B, and SOUL music from the '60,'70's & '80's. He not only airs the popular, but album tracks, rarities and new releases of archived material never before heard on radio. From time to time, John devotes complete shows to singular artists (Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Jimmy Webb) or articular groups who are masters of their music. John also has a recurring show called "Listener's Choice" where listeners can send to him a show's worth of music (in keeping with "Nightflight" music). John would love to hear from local and worldwide listeners for their music requests, show ideas, and comments about the show and most of all...the MUSIC that we love so much. Remember that MOTOWN is the HEART and SOUL of NIGHTFLIGHT.

NIGHTFLIGHT MOTOWN..R&B..SOUL.: '60's,'70's,'80's; Big Band, rock, girl groups, etc. Every Tuesday evening from 9 PM-12 Midnight ET/USA
