  1. At least today's women composers are getting somewhat documented, but if people don't start paying attention, the same thing is going to be necessary in another 100 years. Until then, I'm interested in this, let's see what's up.
  2. Motown, yeah, but his productions on Invictus and Hot Wax often were even better, symphonic/operatic in intricacy in scale. A friend of mine used to call it "producer porn", but that's his opinion. I look at it like he no longer had Barry Gordy to answer to, and this is what his freedom sounded like. No matter, RIP to a major contributor to American music.
  3. once more, probably not twice? Who knows this morning, maybe.
  4. The Pyne Konz - Ever Green
  5. Learn To Play Shortstop The Bumps O'Malley Way!!!
  6. Skrix Scronkichs - Chalknail Baby!!!
  7. And what reviewer would want to risk being dropped from getting serviced? I mean, all those free CDs!!!!!!!! CDs, or whatever they send out these days, flasher mob bombs or whatever they use.
  8. Sonny Solartica - Puttin' On The Caps!!!
  9. Can I be moved to November please? Having an unexpected workload in August is making compiling in august a bit unweildy, sorry. Oh wait, I'm in October now? Ok, that should work.
  10. Especially if you leave the lid off for a few decades. That stuff's gotta breathe, ya' know?
  11. Ford Hestermyer - Hymns We Sing When We're Alone My favorite here is "Oh Lord, Ask Us Not"
  12. Ronkt de Liippert - You're Going To Help Me For A Long Time
  13. Crunky Flannelton - Meet Ya' There!!!
  14. George Stephen, Sr. Carl Maria von Weber E.G. Kingsford
  15. And it began with Vernell Fournier back on drums! It's odd, maybe, that Chess' two big piano trios -Ahmad Jamal and Ramsey Lewis - went on to have second, equally great yet significantly different groups that sooner or later went to other labels. Actually with Lewis, there's no comparison for me. As popular as the Young-Holt group was, my preference is for tha next one .
  16. But you know the Clooney/Rddle version, right? On Love Some of the other songs on that record are equally... obscure. The one that immediately comes to mind is "Yours Sincerely"... Rodgers/Hart, but apart from an instrumental version by Rodgers himself...who else did it? Anyway, that album has what are for me the "ultimate" version of almost every song on there. Almost including "Invitation", and if you limit it to just vocal versions, that one too Intricacy and pain and nakedness all at once. Rare in any medium, much less pop music.
  17. Sister Schubert Charles Louis Fleischmann Martha White
  18. And before that, Extensions on Chess. And then the ABC record which then was reissued on impulse!, Tranquility.
  19. That version is very Lorez-y. I have to be in the mood for Lorez...who else has done this song? . I'm really curious to hear it done in a square "sheet music" type version, if there is one. It's hardly a "normal" structure for a pop song, so I wonder how that would work. Or if that would work.
  20. "how will I remember you" is a very good song. Not sure if I've heard it done by anybody other than Rosemary Clooney/Nelson Riddle?
  21. Simon von Thunk - My Pleasure!!!
  22. Not paying that for this.
