Title: 9 Feb 2007--it's 1971!
Post by: urth on February 09, 2007, 10:00:49 AM
Dave's pal Robin's "32nd" birthday (yeah, right) so guessing she gets a birthday set.

Dave's playing the "when it charted" game too, with some Chicago song--guessing it's "Does anybody know what time it it?"

Wrong again--Beginnings. But it's the l-o-o-o-o-o-ng version!

(This and 25 or 6 to 4 were staples of my high school pep band days--also the Theme from Shaft, but I digress.)

Lessee--Tin Tin?  BOS3 in any case. (Toast and Marmalade for those scoring at home.)

And BOS 4 while we're at it--Rod's cover of (I Know I'm) Losin' You.

Jim, I never knew you were a bandie!  What do you play?

Beginnings was a staple of the Stanford Band post-game "show" featuring endless drum solos, and creative ways of playing the same 3 notes over and over on the saxophone: flute style, between legs and upside down were my favorites.

Various saxes, mostly alto but occasionally tenor, and one semester when we were short on bass instruments I marched with a bass sax (my aching back!). Played one year of college too, but then they disbanded the marching band for lack of $.

Bass sax!  I am duly impressed.  What hard-hearted college did you go to that had the nerve to cancel band???  (I played the tenor sax.)

I think I may have heard this Brady Bunch clip one time too many now, detracting from an otherwise splendid set.

Agreed, but then I never really "got" the BB; I was just a tad too old when they came on the scene, and I can honestly say I never saw an entire ep of the show until syndication, and then only rarely.

But BOS6 Miss Ross (she da Boss), "Remember Me", one of her fab forgotten hits.

With ya, there. Frankly it's getting a little creepy how groovy Marcia thinks Greg is.

On the other hand, BOS Diana and the Supremes--now I think this could be a bustout--Mike?

"Remember me as a big balloon."  Errr, OK, Diana.

closing (?) ever-so-tastefully with EJ, "Friends".  A fine set indeed.

And as to the Diana -- Dave played it rather recently, iirc -- check the shraytabase for confirmation.

LOL! one of the odder lyrics of the decade.  Right up there with "like a window you got nothing to say".

What? Tin Tin WASN'T vinyl???

Where else but a state school, of course. (Cal State Sacto, if you must know.) They did reinstate it a few years later, but I'd graduated by then.

And in fact, produced by Maurice.

My BOS vote is split between that and Diana's "Remember Me," perhaps the most Supremes-like of her solo hits?

Right again, Sherman. Twice previously, according to the Shraytabase--February of 2004 and June of last year, which is the one Mike must have been alluding to.

The loops and warps were built into the record by Maurice, who had the peculiar inspiration to manually pull and warp sections of physical tape to make the record more distinctive.

But oh, this Diana is pleasant to hear.  Really does sound a lot like what Mary and the replacements were up to across the way with "Stoned Love."

FYI, I pulled out both the Diana and post-Ross Supes anthologies, to see if there was a connection -- nope.  "Remember Me", like all her hits of that period ("Reach Out and Touch", "Ain't No Mtn", "Surrender") was written & produced by Ashford & Simpson.  The Supes' early-'70s stuff was a bunch of diff folks, including Smokey ("Floy Joy") and Frank Wilson ("Stoned Love", "Up the Ladder", "Nathan Jones" -- talk about an unsung hero!)

Didya know they did a Nilsson tune called "Paradise", produced by Jimmy Webb?

Had no idea!  How's it sound?  And what post-Ross Supremes comp do you have?  I need a recommendation.

And hey!  Here they are doing "Love the One You're With"!

"Paradise" is quite lovely, if a bit syrupy, production-wise.  The comp I have is The Supremes '70s: Greatest Hits and Rare Classics, 22 tracks, more than you'll ever need. (Doesn't have "Love the One You're With" but it does have their covers of "Tossin' & Turnin'" and "Love Train".)
