Michael Jackson Remembered 2010 (2-Hour Special)
2010-06-26 05:58:00 By BOB ANDELMAN A year ago today, on June 25, 2009, millions of people were stunned to discover that singer, songwriter and pop culture legend Michael Jackson had died suddenly and mysteriously at home in Los Angeles. His passing was met with general sadness and, yes, a little contempt from people who felt that Jackson?s questionable private life took away from the wonders of his professional accomplishments. -------------- LISTEN TO REMEMBERING MICHAEL JACKSON 2010! -------------- Tonight, we have gathered an all-star cast of BlogTalkRadio hosts from coast-to-coast to talk about Michael Jackson?s life and career, the good, the bad and a little of the ugly. Joining me over the next 120 minutes will be, in order of appearance: Janice Malone, host of Film Festival Radio in Nashville, Tennessee; Tony Peters, host of Icon Fetch in Dayton, Ohio; D.A. Williams, host of WDKK Radio, also based in Dayton, Ohio; and Muthaknows, host of ?The Mutha Knows Show,? which comes to u...

Paul Sobotka octopus ban proof something is fishy in Motown
2008-04-25 14:16:00 Just because it's Friday and I am looking for any way to screw up the climactic day to your week, let me break it to you that, yes, there is a new provision in the NHL rulebook than bans the twirling of an octopus — or, in its plural forum, octopi — over one's head. Really, would I jest? This story, uh, has legs to it. It's right there, in black and white blood. Any slimy act by Red Wings' rink rat Al Sobotka to rev up the crowd in his legendary way will cost Sobotka $10,000 out of his own pocket. No word what swinging around a grouper or mackerel will set you back, but octopi are a no-no.Now, we're not suggesting an octopus is actually a fish — I failed Marine Biology 101 — but it hangs out in the water, so I put two and two (and two and two) together. Oh, and I wanted to save you the hassle of having to pronounce cephalopod.Can't you just feel your IQ plummeting as you read this? Hey, it's your NHL.Anyway, back to the point a...

I?ll be leaving Motown Universal some time next year.Q: Do you plan on signing with another label?A: I don?t really want to sign to another label. If you end up funding most of your projects, why not distribute your own product and make 100 percent of your profits?It's definitely the best she could do. It was obvious she was not "treated" right in that label so what she could do? Leave of course. In the interview she also says she's coming with a "next album" later this year, i think she refers to a new album.[Make sure to make a little review/comment on post comments]

Boyz II Men - Motown A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007)
2008-01-01 15:54:00 Motown A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007) by Boyz II Men Career OverviewWhile rap music was the music of choice on the urban charts and radio playlists by the late-'80s/early-'90s, Boyz II Men re-introduced the merits of soul and contemporary R&B, laden with perfectly executed harmony vocals. The group became one of the most successful chart acts of the '90s, especially when their 1992 single, "The End Of The Road," set the record for most weeks atop the Billboard charts.BiographyThis versatile close-harmony soul unit enjoyed an almost unprecedented level of success during the early 90s, beginning with 1991's US Top 3 debut single "Motownphilly". The original line-up comprised Wanya "Squirt" Morris (b. 29 July 1973, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), Michael "Bass" McCary (b. 16 December 1972, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA), Shawn "Slim" Stockman (b. 26 September 1972, USA) and Nathan "Alex-Vanderpool" Morris (b. 18 June 1971, USA). The four men met at the Philadelphia ...
Boyz II Men II Motown
2007-12-17 21:16:00 Image courtesy Amazon.com.Finally, someone out there who happens to be African American is paying homage to their roots instead of putting out a hip-hop record. Boyz II Men has released a CD called Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA and covers such classics as Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me), The Tracks Of My Tears, War, and Mercy Mercy Me. The Boyz performed a choreographed medley on The View last week and said something to the effect that they wanted to bring back the old music before it was forgotten, which was greeted with cheers from the audience. Of course, to quote one of their redone songs, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby, but I'll give these boyz kudos for trying.

V.A. - The Complete Motown Singles, Volume 3-6
2007-05-05 04:22:00 V.A. - THE COMPLETE MOTOWN SINGLES, VOL.3-1963By 1963, Berry Gordy and company were fine-tuning Motown?s sound. Jumping on the charts were Martha & The Vandellas, with ?Come And Get These Memories? and ?Heat Wave,? signaling the emergence of the writing/production team Holland-Dozier-Holland. ?Little? Stevie Wonder was No.1 with the record-breaking ?Fingertips (Part 2).? Mary Wells? ?You Lost The Sweetest Boy? and ?What?s Easy For Two Is So Hard For One? turned out to be a double-sided hit. The Supremes (finally!) made their Top 40 chart debut. V.A. - THE COMPLETE MOTOWN SINGLES, VOL.4-1964 The Complete Motown Singles, Volume 4: 1964, focuses on the year the company becomes an international phenomenon. Even as the Motown machine began to click founder Berry Gordy continued to hedge his bets: listen for odd novelties like the seasonal ?Randy, The Newspaper Boy? by Ray Oddis, and ?Set Me Free? by radio personality Lee Alan. Motown kept active its country label, Mel-O-Dy, from Gene H...
The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 2 - 1962 [BOX SET]
2007-05-01 00:53:00 By 1962, Motown wasn?t yet the hit factory it would later become but had regular chart success and were reaching across the ocean to influence the emerging British Invasion. The year marked the debut of four new imprints in the Motown empire: Divinity, Workshop, Mel-o-dy, and Gordy. This four-CD set offers a miraculous peek behind the curtains of what was rapidly becoming ?The Sound Of Young America.? It features the A-side and B-side of every single released by Motown and its subsidiaries during the label?s fourth year of existence. Over the course of the set?s 112 tracks, you can hear The Temptations masquerading as The Pirates, the vocal version of the ?Theme From Exodus,? and the phone number that was on the lips of America: ?Beechwood 4-5789,? courtesy of the Marvelettes.The opulent packaging resembles a scaled-down 78-rpm-era ?album,? with cardboard sleeves to hold each of the discs, and 88 pages of rare photos, detailed annotations and scholarly - as well as personal - line...

The Complete Motown Singles, Part 1: 1959-1961 documents Motown?s earliest days, from Marv Johnson?s ?Come To Me? on Tamla 101 through The Twistin? Kings? ?Congo (Part 1)? on Motown 1023. This six-CD set offers an amazing insight into the development of the Motown Sound. You can follow along, single by single, as Gordy pursues his dream, often to unexpected places. It features the A-side and B-side of every single released by Motown and its subsidiaries during the label?s first three years of existence.

Motown Philly Back Again
2007-03-27 02:15:00 As part of my 2006-2007 sports adventure, I traveled to Philadelphia on Saturday for the Flyers-Islanders hockey game. Here are some notes from the trip:* Even though I listened to CDs on most of my drive to and from Philly, I heard Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” three times on various radio stations. Can you say monster crossover hit? * Of course, I also heard Toto’s “Hold the Line” (love isn’t always on time) twice, so maybe they are making a comeback.* Philadelphia fans have a reputation as being some of the roughest and toughest in sports. From my sampling of one hockey game in Philadelphia, I was disappointed. There were a lot of fans dressed as empty seats. To be fair, the Flyers are terrible this year, plus it was an early game. I will give credit to the fans who booed the team with about 2 minutes remaining as the Flyers could not get the puck out of their zone.* The song that played when Flyers came out for their warm-up: Loverboy’s “Working ...
