YOUR FAVORITE CD RECORDING (Not Including Matt's)

MAUREEN MCGOVERN-THE MUSIC NEVER ENDS

[Eman]

Jane Olivor - The Best Of Jane Olivor

[mariana44]

Eman-I love Jane Olivor-she is hardly ever mentioned on here--she sang a duet with Johnny Mathis, and I saw her sing with him live. The song was from the film "Same time Next year", and the song was called "the last time I felt like this"--and it was just about the only Johnny Mathis song that George liked.

My favourite cd of hers is

JANE OLIVOR FIRST NiGHT.

[Eman]

Mariana, you are right she is very underated even here. I loved "First Night" and had that lp when it came out in 1976 when I was 12. Though the kids thought I was bizzare for buying an "old lady" but heck it was good music and I enjoy it still today..and yeah I'm the one laughing now because what was considered "young" to those who mocked me isn't even a "blip" on the map!! haha!! GOOD MUSIC ALWAYS PREVAILS!!!

Marian that was a great record, I have one of Jane's cd's called Stay The Night , she has a lovely richness in her voice.

Hi Mariana and Eman,
"We are UNANIMOUS about that!" I mean, "favoriting" Jane, all of her stuff.
I really love Jane Olivor's singing. Didn't I post previously, in response to Robert posting that the Soundtrack to South Pacific is one of his favorites.? (if I'm not mistaken that it was Robert)...didn't I post that Jane recorded (and I was fortunate to see her perform it, from a front row seat in Danvers, MA, in a little theater in the round) THE BEST EVER RECORDING of "Some Enchanted Evening". And yes, Mariana, the song from that great movie starring Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn is another of my favorites of Jane's, with Johnny.

I remember that poor Jane was terrorized during the concert (which was performed flawlessly, just her voice and a piano, the real deal!) by a wasp or hornet. I empathized! Eman, she was just around 30 in the late 70s, yes? I thought she seemed just a little older than me when I saw her in concert. Lovely singer.

Here's one WHO, like Matt, never needed backup singers and could've done it all without musicians (Sad about those AWFUL horns that wreck Matt's "Old Devil Moon"...as usual, his singing alone would have been so much better than with those awful horns BLARING).

Patsy Cline's Greatest - MCA - 1962

What a voice!

Lindy and Mairan, to 12 year olds anyone like Jane Olivor was considered an old lady. Did you know even The Captain and Tennille were considered old folks. If you weren't KISS, BCR's or anything like that you were old. Ha ha..Yet I knew better and loved those singers and anyone who said anything to me and tried to get the mickey out of me..welll..ha ha..

Though with the BCR's when I was in 7th grade ,if I got a bunch of flack some of the girls in the 9th grade (Freshmen in high school) would get their boyfriends to beat up or "talk" to whoever was giving me the business. LOL..They said don't mess with "our baby roller"..ha ha!!

The BCRs would've loved to know that, Eman. Maybe they're reading this.
Gee, and I bet by now you'd have thought those days were long over, when someone would regularly give you flack for the music you enjoy. "Some kids never grow up", as Maya Angelou said, "they just get old."

Give us another of your favorites, Eman, please?

[Eman]

Ha ha..I'm afraid, if I saw the BCR's now, my world would be shattered..ha ha...though David Cassidy when I met him in 1990 at Tower Records all I could say was aahhh ahhhh..lol. My boss who took me had to do the talking.


Shampoo - We Are Shampoo - IRS - 1996.. Girl bratty punk, couldn't sing a lick but appealing. ha ha..the blue print for 2001's Daphne and Celeste, equally hideous, but charming!! ha ha!!

[LindyG]

OUTSTANDING selection, Eman.
Truth is, I am ignorant about this one, but I sure do love your description!

Don't feel bad about being tongue-tied when you met David Cassidy. Most of us would've been. I would've been.

Gee, I met Brian Wilson after loving his music all my life, just a few years ago. And he said, "I don't want to see all these [expletive deleted] people." I thought it was PERFECT, a perfect Brian Wilson moment. I burst out laughing.

I offer:

"Surf's Up" - Beach Boys - Capitol -1971

[Eman]

Lindy, ha ha, when I was in Las Vegas and Bobby Sherman was in the same elevator as me and a friend, doing the Teen Idols tour at the MGM..same thing..except I was standing next to him and I almost fainted being the big teeny bopper that I am. My friend was laughing saying when Bobby Sherman said hi to us, I could've used a oxygen tank. I said gee he's even a paramedic so he could have given me the tank!!!

Anyway great choice on the Beach Boys Lindy with that said,

15 Big Ones - The Beach Boys - Reprise/Brother 1976. I loved this in the 6th grade and actually had it on lp, 8track and cassette. ha ha!! Plus my eldest sister "loaned" me the $4.25 for the album, which I still owe her..hmmm wonder how much interest is on that now.

[LindyG]

One more reply before Time to Sleep for another fun day at work.

GREAT experience with Bobby Sherman!! Wasn't he THE BIGGEST STAR when we were teeny-boppers!
Didn't every drugstore and record store and bookstore and newstand have walls of Bobby Sherman's face!?

As an adult, I rode an elevator with the Everly Brothers in my hometown, Duluth, they were staying in the same hotel as me when I was there on a summer vacation.
And I had listened to them when I was little on their records!
And riding in that elevator with them, decades later, in my hometown, it was like, "This can NOT be happening".
But it did. I wonder if they remember it like I do.

Aren't you going to post Bobby's "Julie, Julie, Julie" album/cd as a favorite? I haven't heard that in far too long.

Oh, and, why do the Beach Boys recordings get better and better over time? It's one of the mysteries of the universe.
G'night!

[Eman]

Lindy just for you and me

With Love, Bobby (The Scrapbook Album) - Bobby Sherman - Metromedia 1970

[mariana44]

Strangely enough, I have never heard of Bobby Sherman or his music. Of course I know Captain & Tenille--Everley Brothers--Beach Boys--all up there in my A rated singers. One song that I have just discovered by The Beach Boys---"Their hearts were full of spring ". Just lovely.
