Podcast appearances and mentions of Harper Valley PTA

Aretha Franklin got her start at an early age in Gospel music.  As the granddaughter of Gospel great Mahalia Jackson and the daughter of a prominent Baptist preacher, Franklin was heard on her father's "gospel caravan" tours at the age of twelve.  By the time she became an adult in 1960 she had decided that she wanted to go into more pop music, and moved to New York for this purpose.  She signed a deal with Columbia Records, in 1960, but her career would not really take off until moving to Atlantic Records in 1966.  By 1968 she was considered by many to be the most successful singer in the nation, and already crowned the "Queen of Soul."Franklin toured outside the US for the first time in late April 1968 through May 1968.  She performed in Paris on May 7, 1968, and this concert would be released as the live album Aretha in Paris in the fall of 1968.  It was Franklin's second live album, and the first for Atlantic Records where most of her hits were recorded.Some have criticized the backing band as not up to the task of supporting Franklin.  However, this album captures Franklin at the top of her game at a time when she was cranking out some of the biggest hits of her career.  It would be difficult for any supporting band to keep up, particularly one assembled for an overseas tour.  Regardless, this is a great album to explore as a snapshot of Aretha Franklin at the height of success.Lynch brings us a high energy live soul album from the Queen of Soul in her prime for today's podcast. (I Can't Get No) SatisfactionThis Rolling Stones cover is the lead-off track to the album and to the concert.  The Stones had released this song in 1965, and it had become their first number 1 song in the States.  Franklin takes the tempo up for this cover.(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural WomanCarole King and Gerry Goffin wrote this song for Franklin based on an idea from producer Jerry Wexler.  It originally appeared on Franklin's album "Lady Soul", and went to number 8 on the U.S. charts.  It would make history when it hit the UK charts a week after Franklin's death in 2018, 51 years after the single was first released. (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been GoneThe original single for this live song was released on the "Lady Soul" album, and reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This song was written by Franklin and her then-husband Teddy White. The studio version of this song utilized the talents of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, who were flown in from Alabama to record in a New York City studio.Chain of FoolsSongwriter Don Covay wrote this song in his youth, and presented it to producer Jerry Wexler as a song for Otis Redding.  Wexler decided to have Franklin record it instead of Redding.  It was a big hit, taking the number 1 slot on the R&B charts for four weeks, number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and delivering Franklin a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television comedy show “Laugh In”This sketch comedy show would capture a lot of American counter-culture of the time from Tiny Tim to "sock it to me!" STAFF PICKS:Ride My See Saw by the Moody BluesWayne kicks off the staff picks with a psychedelic song from the second Moody Blues album, "In Search of the Lost Chord."  The song is about leaving school and finding that the world isn't what you thought it would be.  On the album, the song is preceded by a spoken word introduction called "Departure."Harper Valley PTA by Jeannie C. RileyRob's staff pick is a storytelling song written by Tom T. Hall about a widow named Mrs. Johnson and her tangle with the PTA.  When her teenage daughter received a note from the Harper Valley PTA criticizing the way she is living, Mrs. Johnson attends the next meeting and reveals some indiscretions of the other PTA members.Light My Fire by Jose FelicianoBruce features an acoustic cover of the Doors hit single with a Latin twist.  Jose Feliciano is best known for the Christmas song "Feliz Navidad," but this Puerto Rican artist also had a hit with this cover that peaked at number 3 on in late summer 1968.  His album "Feliciano!" is a selection of acoustic cover songs, and his most successful one.  He won "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" at the 1969 Grammy Awards for this cover.Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty SpringfieldLynch closes out the staff picks with a song that writers John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins wrote with Aretha Franklin in mind.  When Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler heard it, he thought it would be a good fit for Dusty Springfield who was recording her "Dusty in Memphis" album at the time.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:And I Love Her by Jose FelicianoWe double up on the Latin acoustic stylings of Feliciano as this Beatles cover takes us out of this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV   First, the year is 1989 and the Max Headroom fad, for the most part, has come and gone.  Next up for Matt Frewer is a comedy where laughter is sometimes the best medicine.  Doctor Doctor ran two abbreviated seasons, followed by a full final season.  The show tackled some very sensitive yet timely topics during its run including AIDS and homophobia, but went away quietly after a ratings nosedive.   Then, in 1968, the song Harper Valley PTA was a number one hit for Jeannie C. Riley.  In 1978, the song was the inspiration for a movie with the same title, starring Barbara Eden.  Three years later, this show came into being with Eden at the helm, about the battles Eden's character had with the PTA of a fictional Ohio town called Harper Valley.     Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:31 - Doctor Doctor (Episode 517) 1:04:21 - Harper Valley PTA (Episode 518)

Tom T. Hall wrote twelve no. 1 hit songs including a no. 1 pop crossover hit “Harper Valley PTA.” It won a Grammy, a CMA award, and inspired a movie and TV program of the same name. Even though the song sold in the millions, he only made about $90,000. He had other hits you might remember including “I Love” and “The Year that Clayton Delaney Died.” Tom was born in Kentucky and organized a band called the Kentucky Travelers. He enlisted in the Army and while performing in Germany he wrote songs about his experiences. He also worked as a disc jockey for a few years, but don't hold that against him. Tom wrote songs for Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, and Alan Jackson. He wrote a song for Johnnie Wright, “Hello Vietnam,” that was used in the war movie “Full Metal Jacket.”

At the time we spoke to Ron, he had just released his memoirs, I've Met All My Heroes from A to Z, a heartfelt tribute to some of the many people from all walks of life that Ron met in his career who had an impact not only on his life, but the world in general—people such as Neil Armstrong, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Roy Campanella, Joe DiMaggio, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, Audie Murphy, Angela Lansbury, Elvis Presley, Alan Shepard, John Wayne, NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, country western artist Garth Brooks, and General Norman Schwartzkopf.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with the Legendary Jeannie C RileyJeannie C. Riley (born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson; October 19, 1945) is an American country music and gospel singer. She is best known for her 1968 country and pop hit "Harper Valley PTA", which missed by one week simultaneously becoming the Billboard Country and Pop number-one hit.She was born in Anson, Texas, United States. As a teenager, she married Mickey Riley and gave birth to a daughter, Kim Michelle Riley on January 11, 1966. Later, they moved to Nashville, Tennessee, after receiving a letter from Weldon Myrick, who heard a demo tape of Riley's and believed she could be successful.

Based on the hit country song, (yes, really!) Barbara Eden stars as a single-mother looking to get revenge on a hypocritical small-town PTA who has spread rumors about her.  Co-starring Ronny Cox.

A tribute to the recent passing (August 2, 2021) of one of country, western and bluegrass music's most loved singer –songwriters, Kentucky born Tom T. Hall (“I Love”, “Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine” , “Harper Valley PTA”, “The Day Clayton Delaney Died” and lots more).

Anikó Lehtinen is our guest on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Mark Carpenter today. We will talk about Sahti, the ancient Finnish national home brew style with Herlinda Heras in studio and with Anikó Lehtinen on the phone from Helsinki. But first, today's show has a couple of Preludes. Prelude No. 1: Chris DiMatteo has brought the audio of two old TV ads from the 1960s, for Italian Swiss Colony Wines, just to remind us of how awful the early tv commercials could be. There are plenty of cringe-worthy old beer ads too, and we will hear some of those soon. Prelude No. 2 Steve Jaxon remembers Tom T. Hall, who passed away just a few days before this episode was recorded. He wrote the song “I Like Beer” one of our unofficial anthems on Brew Ha Ha, and he also wrote the hit song Harper Valley PTA. Then at 6:46 the regular Brew Ha Ha episode starts. Our guest on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Mark Carpenter is Anikó Lehtinen, whom Herlinda Heras visited on her recent trip to Finland and Estonia. Anikó can be found on these social media platforms, here is her LinkedIn page, her Twitter account and her Instagram page. We record Brew Ha Ha in the 5:00 PM hour California time, and Anikó is 10 hours ahead where the local time is past 3:00 AM. Anikó Lehtinen is a journalist, radio producer and university lecturer who covers beer and other subjects. On her recent visit to Helsinki, Herlinda met Aniko, where they judged competitions together, visited breweries and met with brewers. While waiting to get a connection with Helsinki, we discuss the Sahti. This bottle that we are tasting is pasteurized, but mostly it is not pasteurized when it is brewed and served at home in Finland. It is a dark amber-colored uncarbonated brew that is flavored with juniper berry branches, or more recently, other flavors like birch and lingonberries. Mark notices that it is hazy and has no carbonation, so it is sold in milk cartons in Finland, because the package does not need to support the pressure of carbonization. Anikó describes how she got into the business of covering beer and the beverage business. She studied History at university and needed some work as a student, so she worked in some bars that served beer. Then she got an opportunity to build a training system at the biggest Finnish brewery. Here she got to know beer at all levels, including its styles and its history, and she finds it fascinating. Kipis! That's Cheers in Finnish. They are drinking the Sahti that Herlinda brought back, made by their friend Pekka. There are more than 120 breweries in Finland, mostly micro breweries, for a population of about 5.6 million, so beer is popular. Pekka did important work to preserve the habit of making Sahti, which Anikó describes.

Book Vs Movie: “Harper Valley PTA” The 1968 Song Vs the 1978 Movie (really!) Ever since the pandemic began, we decided to create a new show each week (rather than biweekly which has been our habit for over six years now) the sources of adaptations have expanded to magazines, novellas, and songs. You would assume a shorter source would make for shorter episodes but, they can bring on just as much of a discussion as a novel.  This brings us to today's subject of our podcast--Harper Valley PTA. The song was written by Tom. T. Hall and performed by country singer Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. The story about a “widowed bride” who is slut-shamed by her daughter's junior high school PTA (Parents Teachers Advisory) and gives a takedown at a meeting that is spectacular in its shade and incisiveness was one of the first feminist anthems and managed to become a number one hit in the U.S. on both the pop and country charts. (Past episode Dolly Parton did the same in 1980 for 9 to 5!) The 1978 movie is an R-rated cuckoo bananas production starring Barbara Eden (a stone-cold fox!) as Stella Johnson who exacts a Porky's style revenge on the local yokels who dare to take her on. She also is wooed by an equally sexy Ronny Cox and is teamed up with Nanette Fabray in this film that played in drive-in theaters in 1978 and made millions.  It features nudity, wrap dresses, elephants, revenge porn, makeovers, and a helicopter proposal.  So between the song and the movie--which did we prefer? Have a listen and find out!  In this ep the Margos discuss: The origin of the song and famous recordings The unusual release of the movie  1970s feminism   The cast: Barbara Eden (Stella Johnson, ) Ronny Cox (Willis Newton,) Nanette Fabray (Alice Finley,) Louis Nye (Kirby Baker,) Audrey Christie (Flora Simpson Reilly,) John Fielder (Bobby Taylor,) and Susan Swift (Dee Johnson.)  Clips used: Harper Valley PTA (Jeannie C.

It's a country song. About a Parent Teacher Association. And it has no chorus. What more needs to be said? Apparently a lot because this song's legacy is long, convoluted, and exhausting, but Andrew and Dan are determined to cover it all.

Sal and Bob record from the cafeteria at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Michigan! The one hit wonder is "Harper Valley PTA" by Jeannie C. Riley. They review the song and breakdown the lyrics of this 1968 hit. In honor of "Back to School" season, Sal and Bob share stories from back in the day. They talk about shows they watched growing up and their first TV crushes. Sal tells Bob some the names of the schools he went to and they laugh at the idea of Donald Trump having a school named in his honor. Sal talks about how having Italian parents made back to school shopping tough because of the family's tomato harvest. The end of August means back to school and tomato sauce for the Demilio family. Bob tells a story about getting into a fight the first day of being in a new school and the principle calling his mom. Sal and Bob go on to talk about the lunches they would have at school. Bob's mom made 8 lunches every day for her kids. No one wanted to trade any food with Bob. Sal had the best lunches ever. He recounts the amazing Italian spread his mom would send him to school with. The guys talk about the what's on the menu at Henry's Food Court at Schoolcraft. This is the cheapest meal the guys have ordered on the show. They talk about their shared love of Rodney Dangerfield and the classic comedy "Back to School". They share some of their favorite quotes from the movie and finish uptake show with a couple of back to school jokes. Tune in!

Dolly Parton [00:23] a side: "9 to 5" b side: "Sing for the Common Man" RCA Records PB-12133 1980 What a way indeed. Dolly was only the second woman to top both the Country and Hot 100 charts, the first being Jeannie C Riley with Harper Valley PTA. Cliff Jackson and the Naturals [06:56] a side: "Nine Below Zero" b side: "Up the Wall" Midnight Sun MS-2 The Sonny Boy Williamson classic. ? and the Mysterians [12:22] a side: "96 Tears" b side: "Midnight Hour" Cameo Records C-428 1966 Damn fine stuff. too many tear drops, not enough Vox Continental. Nena [17:31] a side: "99 Luftaballons" b side: "99 Red Balloons" Epic Records 34-04108 1983 In case you're wondering, the German lyrics are better. Badfinger [26:13] a side: "No Matter What" b side: "Carry On Till Tomorrow" Apple Records 1822 1970 Some great stereo guitars going on here, plus some great Leslie/Rotovibe stuff. And the b-side is the theme song from the film The Magic Christian. Evidentally there is a Def Leppard cover of "No Matter What", but you'll have to go find that yourself. Bazan and Deerhoof [33:07] a side: "No One Asked Bazan to Dance" b side: "Gas and Matches" Polyvinyl Records PRC9132 2012 A pretty wonderful appropriation of Deerhoof by Dave Bazan on the a-side.

They call him The Storyteller because he distills life into words. Behind any story worth telling, you'll always find another story. Maybe if we can get behind some of his best stories, we can reverse engineer the alchemy of Tom T. Hall. Maybe we'll find the story about who he is and how he's able to do what he can do with the English language... Probably not but, worst case scenario, it will be an incredibly entertaining waste of time. Beginning with a condensed history of country music radio, we follow Tom T. from his early days as a young DJ into a seemingly effortless realization of his destiny to become one of country music's greatest songwriters ever. This episode is highly recommended for fans of songwriting, arguing about music, Net Neutrality, the music business, Bobby Bare, Dave Dudley, Jimmy C. Newman, Hank Cochran and songs for children.

Jeannie C. Riley's debut single sold over a million copies within ten days of being released but she never wanted to record the song. She's often considered a one-hit wonder. We can easily disprove that. In the late '60s, Jeannie C. Riley became country music's most blatant sex symbol to date but she never wanted to wear those clothes. Small town girl with big dreams goes to the city and lets it break her in order to make her. Total cliche, right? Sure. Except Jeannie's choice to bury the story in lie after lie turns it into a mystery tale of obscured identity, infidelity and blackmail. In this episode, some truth sees the light of day, maybe for the first time ever. Recommended for fans of Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Russell, The Wilburn Brothers, Tom T. Hall, Little Darlin' Records and mystery novels. Source

Two words to sum up the career of Shelby Singleton? Publicity stunt. You think all it takes to make a hit record is to find a good song and get a good performance of it? That's cute. Have a seat and let an old-school record man show you how it's done. This is Shelby Singleton. When it took driving a trunk full of records around the country to make them into hits, that's what he did. Then he became a producer. Then he became a VP at Mercury Records. Then he founded an independent musical empire in Nashville and really got to work making new enemies. This episode is recommended for fans of: marketing, publicity, controversy, rockabilly, Supermensch (the documentary on Shep Gordon), George Jones, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, David Allan Coe, Margie Singleton, Jeannie C. Riley and Roger Miller. Source

This is what defeat sounds like. Before we started recording, I felt like garbage, was not prepared for the Gallifrey Birds annoucement, but I pulled it together. Actually, not until we recorded the main show. Enjoy! The post After Dark Episode 157: Harper Valley PTA appeared first on Longbox Heroes.

Have we got a story for YOU! Well, okay, these SONGS have stories, and they are doozies. As we chat about "Ode To Billie Joe" and "Harper Valley PTA," we swoon for the power of a narrative country hits and the film adaptations they inspire. Speaking of the films, please enjoy Sarah's meltdown about the stars of the "Billie Joe" opus.    Our outro is by Waylon Jennings (because...what else could we choose?), and our theme is by Andrew Byrne.

Amy and Bay are together in tiny Townsend, Tennessee, and It's A Real HOOT!!! Get it? Hoot? We heard hootie owls? GET IT? OK, yes, we may have been drinking at the time. We pulled a Harper Valley PTA at an HOA meeting, and then we went shopping for shoes, and we got pedicures, and we had lunch, and we rode an alpine coaster, and it was the best best-friends-and-booze bonanza in the boonies we could have ever asked for! If you go to Cades Cove, you must dine at the Burger Master. No excuses! Write to us and tell us your best hootie owl story. Bay@gritstoglitz.com or Amy@gritstoglitz.com or HarperValleyScandals@gritstoglitz.com!!! Crocs sandals aren't as ugly as the Crocs clogs! Seriously, China Glaze should give us free stuff as much as we shill for 'em: In Awe of Amber is gorgeous! Little cabin in the woods! (Amy's cabin is for rent, y'all!) Delicious drive-in dining at the Burger Master (meister burger...) Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster is totally worth the time! Is this microblading thing a scary eyebrow grooming procedure, or is it cool? Barred owls are so cool, they showed up to our private party. (Scroll down for sound links!)

My Rendition

This week's topics include how to get to Hell, a dip into the mail sack, how we would cast a remake of The Golden Girls, Occupy 'Occupy,' what makes 'Where's the Beef' funny, Rob's Facebook lawn assault, and a whole lot of discussion about what makes a fair market system; plus some chum for the Snark Tank, a mash-up of Phrased Out and the Snark Tank, and Jason's new living arrangements. Fight the power!

The Doctor is back again—in stereo! This time, he's hosting me for a look at Steven Spielberg's incredible 1977 masterpiece Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We don't have a cross word to say about the film except perhaps that the aliens seems to act more like raccoons than visitors from another planet. The Doctor and I converse on the UFO phenomenon of the 1970s, Indiana geography, alien biology, Richard Dreyfus's insanity, and Steven Spielberg's belief that aliens and angels are the same thing. We discuss the film as a character piece, as a horror movie with no horror, and as a treatise on communication in general. We discuss the possibility that the aliens are a rock band. And we imagine Lance "Itchy Trigger Finger" Henriksen having a flash-forward to his other films and shooting up the aliens. I forget to make a joke about the Harper Valley PTA (that's where Dreyfus is driving when he has his initial encounter). And we forget to mention that this is the first of our five collaborations where none of the main characters is liquored up a good part of the time.
