Warwick was also host of the hit television music show, “Solid Gold.” In addition, she recorded several theme songs, including “Champagne Wishes & Caviar Dreams,” for the popular television series “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” and “The Love Boat,” for the hit series from Aaron Spelling.

Additionally, in September 2008, Warwick added “author” to her list of credits with two best-selling children's books, “Say A Little Prayer,” and “Little Man,” and her first best-selling autobiography, “My Life As I See It” for Simon & Schuster.Always one to give back, Warwick has supported and campaigned for many causes and charities close to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education for which she has been recognized and honored and has raised millions of dollars. In 1987, she was appointed the first United States Ambassador of Health by President Ronald Reagan and in 2002, served as Global Ambassador for Health and Ambassador for the United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), and she continues to serve as Ambassador today.

En El Guateque de Onda Regional de Murcia (orm.es; domingos, 22,05h) rescatamos olvidadas melodías del ayer. Nos adelantamos al Día de la Región con Mari Trini, Una voz eterna y una de las murcianas más universales. “Los sueños son míos, dejadme soñar”, exclamaba la cantautora. El cantante estadounidense B. J. Thomas, intérprete de la canción “Raindrops keep fallin' on my head”, falleció el sábado pasado y le dedicamos un recuerdo.Decir Burt Bacharach es decir la canción perfecta de pop clásico, esa aspiración por recrear los sentimientos como algo colosal, único. La música le debe a este hombre desgarbado, de mirada entrañable y voz ronca haber hallado la elegancia absoluta para transmitir las más profundas emociones.Convertida en musa de la comunidad mod inglesa, Sandie Shaw obtuvo un importante triunfo comercial en su país a mediados de los años 60. Su carrera de éxitos comenzó gracias al sencillo “There's Always Something There To Remind Me”, un tema escrito por la pareja Bacharach/David que le llevó al número 1.France Gall ganaba Eurovisión 65 con un tema compuesto por el controvertido Serge Gainsbourg, ahora, después de muerto, alabado por toda la progresía francesa. Fue uno de los grandes sucesos europeos del año. En España pronto se desató entre las discográficas la carrera por poner en el mercado una versión creíble en español de la “Muñeca de cera”. Karina ganó esa carrera. Por una de esas extrañas razones que rara vez revisten las guerras con actos nobles, justos y ciertamente románticos, dos versos del poeta maldito francés Paul Verlaine («Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne/ blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone»)* fueron los escogidos por el mando aliado para anunciar a la Francia ocupada y a todo el movimiento de la Resistencia que el día de la liberación de Europa se acercaba tras cuatro años de ocupación nazi. El Desembarco se acercaba. El inicio del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. José Guardiola canta la versión que Paul Anka hizo para el “El Día más Largo”. Otra playa más veraniega ea a la que canta Nico Fidenco. Con “Balada gitana”, el Dúo Dinamico inicia una nueva veta en el estilo de la pareja, que parece querer acercarse a la copla, como siempre hacían ellos, transportándola a su particular estilo vocal y logrando una canción realmente agradable de escuchar. Tiramos de Caras B. “I've been hearing things”, otro de los mejores temas de la carrera de Los Bravos , que acabaron escondidos en un single. Otra cara B reseñable es T'HANNO VISTA DOMENICA SERA, que compartía con "Rpberta" Peppino Di Capri. LA POLACA fue una gitana que cantaba y bailaba con un arte y una gracia única. Inauguramos la sección de peticiones del oyente con Gloria Lasso. My Guy" es un sencillo de 1964 grabado por Mary Wells para el sello Motown. Escrita y producida por Smokey Robinson de The Miracles, la canción es la afirmación de su fidelidad a su novio, quien es su ideal y con quien es feliz,("No hay un hombre hoy que pueda alejarme de mi chico").Santo & Johnny Farina, era un dúo estadounidense de ascendencia italiana proveniente de Brooklyn. "Sleepwalk" fue la última canción instrumental en alcanzar el primer lugar en la década de 1950 y le valió un disco de oro al dúo intérprete.

D-Sides, Orphans, and Oddities

A Gringo Like Me - Ennio Morricone (1963) From the film Duello nel Texas, also known as Gunfight at Red Sands and Gringo. Featuring the voice of Peter Tevis. Tevis was credited with singing the theme song of the animated television series Underdog in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Tevis ran a record label called Pet Records, based in Burbank, California. The label released records designed to train pet birds to talk as well as other pet training records.  Brainstorm - Lovin' Is Really My Game (1977) Canned Heat (feat. Little Richard) - Rockin' With The King (1972)  Diesel - Sausalito Summernight (Live) A guilty pleasure for me, much in the vein of "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck. The original song came out in 1979. This is a slick live version, replete with guests, but I still like it.  Quincy Jones - Do It-To It! (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the movie "$". What was LR doing in the '70s? Trying to carve out a living with new, flaccid original material or guesting on other people's records. Fighting the strong tide of easy money that contemporaries like Jerry Lee, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, etc. were grabbing. GARDEN PARTY INDEED!!! AMIRITE?!? Ennio Morricone - An Eye for an Eye (1965) From the film "For a Few Dollars More", Part 2 of the "Dollars Trilogy". In 2012, that guy on the cover would talk to a chair in front of millions.  Ennio Morricone - Angel Face (1965) Taken from the 1965 movie 'Una Pistola Per Ringo' directed by Duccio Tessari. This and the previous were sung by Maurizio Graf.  Ennio Morricone - Un Ami (1973) From the film "Revolver", starring Oliver Reed, who was Ann-Margret's husband in 1975's "The Who's Tommy".  Ennio Morricone - Nana (1982) I like this song.    Isaac Hayes - Good Love 6-9969 (1971) Before the hyper-meta revival of his career as "Chef" on South Park, Isaac Hayes, boys and girls, was sort of a Barry White/Ronald Isley (reinvented) prototype, releasing long, slow grooves of a sexual nature, covering songs like 'Walk On By" by Bacharach/David, but at about 4 times longer and slower than the original to make his fucking point. His biggest hit was "Shaft", for which he won an Oscar, he co-wrote "Soul Man" for Sam and Dave, as well as "Hold On, I'm Coming". He paid his dues. While inferior to Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Curtis Mayfield, his place in popular culture was well-assured even before he sang "Chocolate Salty Balls". Having said that, after listening to some of his discography from the later '70s, I'm pretty sure he could have recorded THAT as a b-side and no one would have batted an eye.  Helen Reddy - Ladychain (1975)  Here is where it gets serendipitously strange.  I watched "Lolita". It was ok. But I wanted to see some of James Mason's other later work. Which led me to "The Yin and the Yang of Mr. Go" from 1970. it was directed by Burgess Meredith, of "Rocky" fame. He was "The Penguin" in the campier '60s TV version of Batman. "James Mason is a Chinese-Mexican crime lord whose weapon of choice is a spear gun. Burgess Meredith is his Chinese acupuncturist/bodyguard. Jeff Bridges is a novelist of Joycean vision turning rough-trade tricks on the side." But I wanted to know who wrote these crazy songs. One of which I ripped from the opening scene on YouTube and present here in shabby audio, since, obviously, there's no soundtrack.  A Marcia Waldorf wrote the lyrics. Did she sing them, too? She doesn't recall, as I immediately found her email address and wrote to her, and she replied!! She told me all sorts of tales that I will not share here, but she DID write a song that appeared on this Helen Reddy LP, and it was written about Duane Allman. And it's VERY obscure. But no more obscure than her own solo albums (there were 2) of which I play a few later on, for you.  Isaac Hayes Movement - Disco Connection (1975) Isaac Hayes - Feel Like Makin' Love (1975)  Isaac Hayes - Walk On By (1971) Isaac Hayes - Zeke the Freak (1978)  Little Richard - Thomasine (1972) Lucifer's Friend - Toxic Shadows (1970) I just can't get enough of these Les Humphries Singer projects! This was John Lawton, who sang LHS hits like "Mama Loo" and "Sing Sang Song", and then he joined Uriah Heep and he still rocks out today with what I can only call a hair plug fiasco.  Marcia Waldorf - Memoranda (1975) This is one of those times where everyone listening to this show, I can PROMISE you, has never heard a setlist that even resembles this! Quincy Jones - Money Is (feat. Little Richard) (1972) From the soundtrack to the movie "$".  Quincy Jones - Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970) Quincy Jones is the father of Rashida Jones. When you look at the video for the song "We Are The World" with Lionel Richie and Mike Jackson, that older man waving a baton around, exhorting all those singers to sing their guts out for all those African warlords is Quincy Jones!  When you hear that funky flute music that Austin Powers is dancing around to, that, also, is Quincy Jones!  Quincy Jones - Summer In The City (1973) Quincy Jones - The Dude (1981)  Sue Lyon - Lolita Ya Ya (1962) This was an example of a studio trying everything to manufacture a star, including deflowering her via a powerful movie producer. She acted in a few other things, and she wasn't bad. For my purposes, I only care about her recorded history, which consisted of one single. I suggest doing research on Sue Lyon. She was a tragic figure that didn't die soon enough, for lack of a better term.    Sue Lyon - Turn Off the Moon (1962)  Marcia Waldorf (?) - The Yin and the Yang (1970) - Intro with Burgess Meredith and James Mason. Waldorf Travers - Night Blindness (1979) @DarrellNutt can you make my drums sound like this? According to Marcia, this album was not released in the US.  Rupert Holmes - Why Am I Walking Without You (1974) This is the same guy that would take over the sophisticated white record buyer's soul with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" not 5 years later.  But before that, he struggled with this project and that, and...this, from the movie "Wet Rainbow", a pornographic film starring Georgina Spelvin and Harry Reems (both from "The Devil In Miss Jones", Georgina was a hooker in the first "Police Academy" movie) which by all accounts was actually a good movie. When you're a young songwriter, every opportunity is the right one. See? I just exposed you to a porno. Get right with your god, sicko. I will soon do a whole show on Rupert and Christopher Cross. But his stuff was pretty tightly controlled, so maybe not him.  Ennio Morricone - The Ballad Of Hank McCain (1969)  Mego - Fonzie Commercial Spot (1976)

They cut a couple records on their own, before getting signed to Terry Knight's Brown Bag label. These records did not have much impact, and the band broke up for a while. In 1975 or thereabouts original Wild Cherry leader Rob Parissi recruited some musicians from the Pittsburgh area, and started a new Wild Cherry. This band tried to crack the rock clubs, but in the time since the original band's breakup, musical tastes, and clubs were changing to more dance music. Parissi wrote a song from experience called "Play that Funky Music", and in doing so, the band followed their lead and became a funk/disco/dance band.

Additionally, Warwick will begin a highly anticipated concert residency in Las Vegas on April 4, 2019 Scintillating, soothing and sensual best describe the familiar and legendary voice of five-time GRAMMY® Award winning music legend, DIONNE WARWICK, who has become a cornerstone of American pop music and culture. Warwick’s career, which currently celebrates over 50 years, has established her as an international music icon and concert act. Over that time, she has earned 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records. Marie Dionne Warwick, an American singer, actress, and television show host who became a United Nations Global Ambassador for the Food and Agriculture Organization and a United States Ambassador of Health. She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.” Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” "Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ”Together, Warwick and her songwriting team of Burt Bacharach & Hal David, accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together. Warwick received her first GRAMMY® Award in 1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.” She became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance. This award was only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald. Other African-American female recording artists certainly earned their share of crossover pop and R&B hits during the 1960′s, however, Warwick preceded the mainstream success of her musical peers by becoming the first such artist to rack up a dozen consecutive Top 100 hit singles from 1963-1966. Warwick’s performance at the Olympia Theater in Paris, during a 1963 concert starring the legendary Marlene Dietrich, skyrocketed her to international stardom. As Warwick established herself as a major force in American contemporary music, she gained popularity among European audiences as well. In 1968, she became the first solo African-American artist among her peers to sing before the Queen of England at a Royal Command Performance. Since then, Warwick has performed before numerous kings, queens, presidents and heads of state. Warwick’s recordings of songs such as “A House is not a Home,” “Alfie,” ”Valley of the Dolls,” and “The April Fools,” made her a pioneer as one of the first female artists to popularize classic movie themes. Warwick began singing during her childhood years in East Orange, New Jersey, initially in church. Occasionally, she sang as a soloist and fill-in voice for the renowned Drinkard Singers, a group comprised of her mother Lee, along with her aunts, including Aunt Cissy, Whitney Houston’s mom, and her uncles. During her teens, Warwick and her sister Dee Dee started their own gospel group, The Gospelaires. Warwick attended The Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, and during that time, began making trips to New York to do regular session work. She sang behind many of the biggest recording stars of the 1960′s including Dinah Washington, Sam Taylor, Brook Benton, Chuck Jackson, and Solomon Burke, among many others. It was at this time that a young composer named Burt Bacharach heard her sing during a session for The Drifters and asked her to sing on demos of some new songs he was writing with his new lyricist Hal David. In 1962, one such demo was presented to Scepter Records, which launched a hit-filled 12 -year association with the label. Known as the artist who “bridged the gap,” Warwick’s soulful blend of pop, gospel and R&B music transcended race, culture, and musical boundaries. In 1970, Warwick received her second GRAMMY® Award for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” and began her second decade of hits with Warner Bros. Records. She recorded half a dozen albums, with top producers such as Thom Bell, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Jerry Ragavoy, Steve Barri, and Michael Omartian. In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with “Then Came You,” a million-selling duet with The Spinners. She then teamed up with Isaac Hayes for a highly successful world tour, “A Man and a Woman.” In 1976, Warwick signed with Arista Records, beginning a third decade of hit-making. Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, “Dionne,” which included back-to-back hits “I’ll Never Love This Way Again,” and “Déjà vu.” Both recordings earned GRAMMY® Awards, making Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance Awards. Warwick’s 1982 album, “Heartbreaker,” co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with composer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder to record the landmark song “That’s What Friends Are For,” which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds (over $3 Million) for the AIDS cause in support of AMFAR, which Warwick continues to support. Throughout the 1980′s and 1990′s, Warwick collaborated with many of her musical peers, including Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne, Kashif and Stevie Wonder. Warwick was also host of the hit television music show, “Solid Gold.” In addition, she recorded several theme songs, including “Champagne Wishes & Caviar Dreams,” for the popular television series “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” and “The Love Boat,” for the hit series from Aaron Spelling. In November, 2006 Warwick recorded an album of duets, “My Friends & Me,” for Concord Records, a critically acclaimed Gospel album, “Why We Sing,” for Rhino/Warner Records, and a new jazz album, ”Only Trust Your Heart,” a collection of standards, celebrating the music of legendary composer Sammy Cahn for Sony Red/MPCA Records. Additionally, in September 2008, Warwick added “author” to her list of credits with two best-selling children’s books, “Say A Little Prayer,” and “Little Man,” and her first best-selling autobiography, “My Life As I See It” for Simon & Schuster. Always one to give back, Warwick has supported and campaigned for many causes and charities close to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children’s hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education for which she has been recognized and honored and has raised millions of dollars. In 1987, she was appointed the first United States Ambassador of Health by President Ronald Reagan and in 2002, served as Global Ambassador for Health and Ambassador for the United Nations’ Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO), and she continues to serve as Ambassador today. In recognition of her accomplishments and support of education, a New Jersey school was named in her honor, the Dionne Warwick Institute for Economics and Entrepreneurship. Warwick was also a key participating artist in the all-star charity single, “We Are the World,” and in 1984, performed at “Live Aid.” Celebrating 50 years in entertainment, and the 25th Anniversary of “That’s What Friends Are For,” Warwick hosted and headlined an all-star benefit concert for World Hunger Day in London. In addition, she was honored by AMFAR in a special reunion performance of “That’s What Friends are For,” alongside Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder at AMFAR’s Anniversary Gala in New York City. Warwick also received the prestigious 2011 Steve Chase Humanitarian Arts & Activism Award by the Desert Aids Project and was recognized for her stellar career by Clive Davis at his legendary Pre-GRAMMY® Party in Los Angeles. Adding to her list of landmark honors, Warwick was a 2013 recipient of the coveted Ellis Island Medal of Honor in New York and was inducted into the 2013 New Jersey Hall of Fame. On March 26, 2012, Warwick was inducted into the GRAMMY® Museum in Los Angeles, where a special 50th Anniversary exhibit was unveiled and a historic program and performance was held in the Clive Davis Theater. Additionally, a panel discussion with Clive Davis and Burt Bacharach was hosted by GRAMMY® Museum Executive Director, Bob Santelli. Commemorating her 50th Anniversary, Warwick released a much-anticipated studio album in 2013, entitled “NOW.” Produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, the anniversary album was nominated for a 2014 GRAMMY® Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. “NOW” featured special never-before-released material written by her longtime friends and musical collaborators, Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

I’m grateful that I forgot the iPod at home and had to stick entirely to vinyl. It happens that I’d carried in a few more albums than usual that night, and played from almost all of them. Forgive me that some of the tracks are pretty scratchy. I’ve had some of these albums for decades, and the scratches are almost like the scratches on me – markers of a passage through life, time and perspective, and all that they’ve encompassed. The scratchiest of these tunes, the first and last, the Ramsey Lewis and the Stevie Wonder, are from probably the first twenty or so albums I ever bought, years before I started taking care of them. I also think that these are among the best tunes in the set. Ramsey Lewis has never gotten his due, so far as I’m concerned. He’s a masterful pianist, with a style that can be funky, churchy and bluesy. And the composition, “Les Fleur” or “The Flowers” by another over-looked artist, Charles Stepney, casts a hauntingly beautiful mood. “Music of My Mind” was an extraordinary offering from Stevie Wonder, following closely on the heels of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” – two early 70’s albums that broke new ground as expressions of individual, musical visions. Not only did Wonder write and produce the entire album. He also – with the exception of two solos – plays all of the instruments. Other Set standouts include McLaughlin’s take on “My Foolish Heart” and the magnificent “For Tomorrow” from McCoy Tyner. Then, there’s Dionne Warwick with the lush and orchestral Bacharach/David tune “Check Out Time”. And if I were to pick out five more favorites, they’d be just great as these five! Thrive!

DIONNE WARWICK is a five-time GRAMMY® Award winning music legend, who has become a cornerstone of American pop music and culture. Warwick’s career, which currently celebrates over 50 years, has established her as an internationalmusic icon and concert act. Over that time, she has earned 75 charted hit songs and sold over 100 million records. She began singing professionally in 1961after being discovered by a young songwriting team (Burt Bacharach and Hal David) and had her first hit in 1962 with “Don’t Make Me Over.”  Less than a decade later, she had released more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, “Walk on By,” “Anyone Who Had a Heart,” “Message to Michael,” “Promises Promises,” “A House is Not a Home,” “Alfie,” “Say a Little Prayer,” “This Girl’s in Love With You,” “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” “Reach Out For Me,” and the theme from “Valley of the Dolls. ” Together, Warwick and the songwriting team of Bacharach & David accumulated more than 30 hit singles, and close to 20 best-selling albums, during their first decade together. She received her first GRAMMY® Award in1968 for her mega-hit, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” and a second GRAMMY® in 1970 for the best-selling album, “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.”  Warwick was also a key participating artist in the all-star charity smash hit single, “We Are the World,” and in 1984, performed at “Live Aid” and hosted and headlined an all-star benefit concert for World Hunger Day in London.  In addition, she was honored by AMFAR in a special reunion performance of “That’s What Friends are For,” alongside Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder at AMFAR’s Anniversary Gala in New York City.   Warwick also received the prestigious 2011 Steve Chase Humanitarian Arts & Activism Award by the Desert Aids Project and was recognized for her stellar career by Clive Davis at his legendary Pre-GRAMMY® Party in Los Angeles.  Adding to her list of landmark honors, Warwick was a 2013 recipient of the coveted Ellis Island Medal of Honor in New York…and she became the first African-American solo female artist of her generation to win the prestigious award for Best Contemporary Female Vocalist Performance—an award only presented to one other legend, Miss Ella Fitzgerald.

Guitarist Grant Green seemed to suddenly appear on the national Jazz scene from out of nowhere appearing on Blue Note Records as a leader and as a sideman in the early 60s. He had honed his skills in his hometown of St. Louis MO and was asked to come to New York by alto saxophone master Lou Donaldson who recommended him to Blue Note's honcho Alfred Lion. Green became a favourite and recorded frequently in the years 1961-65 and those recordings contain his most lasting work. Many of Green's sessions were never issued until after his death in 1979. This one that we're featuring tonight was one of those.It's a very high level session with Mr. Green in the company of two members of John Coltrane's "classic quartet" in the persons of pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones. The bassist is the ubiquitous Bob Cranshaw. With this powerful rhythm section Green is at his best. Two Green originals (including the title track) are heard plus a delightful version of "My Favourite Things" with the Coltrane arrangement. Pianist Duke Pearson's exotic original called "Bedouin" is heard. Completing the set is the Bacharach/David tune called "Wives and Lovers" done in "sprung waltz" style. Mr. Green was one of the giants of the guitar and this date proves it!
