Saw her last night in Birmingham Al, she still has that beautiful voice at 84 years old!
Must be a bit odd singing your borrowed tune with the creator.

OMG. Shameful - I had no idea this was a borrowed tune.
I was just innocently trying to find a movie with either location in the title for the trivia thread. Zoinks.

I used to plod through the TV Guide waiting for names to pop out to me. This was before VCR so it was now or never with TV appearances, so the week when Patti Smith was listed on the Saturday morning kids' show Kids Are People Too I snuck out of work, had a co-worker cover, rode my bike home, then snuck back into work, luckily without being busted. Patti sang "You Light Up My Life", accompanied by the composer on piano, and I remembered it for many years until this was finally posted on YouTube a couple of years ago. Her tastes were/are very broad so the pairing isn't as shocking as it might seem.

I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN
full pun intended
This is incredible. If I could crown you King of the Golden Nugget Clips I would. Brilliant (and if you could find a clip of Blythe in Butterflies with Keir I would love you forever - and don't forget Norma and the Dolls while you traverse the digital landscape)
I love the sneaking out of work shenanigan: another great movie scene. It was always my (unfulfilled) dream to do this. There was a movie theatre under the Sheraton Hotel near my indentured servitude on Bay Street. A network of underground tunnels meant I could go at the drop of a good film title hat: no coat boots purse would be required. Sadly the cinema shut down before I got up the nerve.
CHILLS. HER RENDITION IS SPINE TINGLING.
Despite being on the fence religiously speaking, I love this song. I really need to see the movie.

OK not to harsh our mellow, but since you stopped by...
Did we know Mimi borrowed this one? I have been on medication since finding it after you mentioned the fashions and I simply popped online for a quick download.
I could come around I suppose. Who among us didn't wonder why when we first heard Luke doing Tracy on the radio? And then we heard about her sales skyrocketing, new generations hearing her, and that impeccable Grammy duet.
Questions? Comments? Concerns?

Questions? Comments? Concerns?Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To) - Diana Ross Concerns? Don't get me started. I think we're bad influences on each other. Because of you I just felt compelled to rush to YouTube to listen to Mimi's version again, but then, because it turned up in a Top of the Pops segment (Praise be!), I had to rush back here and lay it at your feet. Yes, Mimi is a thief and butter wouldn't melt in her mouth as she calmly lays claim to the Miss Ross classic. The thing I've always loved about it is that the song itself was such a blatant steal from "The Theme from The Valley of the Dolls". The whole mood, orchestration, everything. But stealing from the best is what it's all about. Dionne's version was classic, but I also love this tribute version. |

The Marvelettes had the first Motown No. 1 hit with "Please Mr. Postman" in 1961. Then in 1975 The Carpenters took the tune to Disneyland for some reason, but they also reached No. 1 with it.

I was reading these backwards from the Recent Posts button and was already losing it with the Disneyland drop.
And now I am huddled behind the curtains waiting for the police to arrive. I shrieked SO ( ( ( LOUDLY ) ) people actually came running to administer medical attention. By the time Lady Butter hits that high note (and I use that term loosely) jazz to conclude, I was well away.
Thank GOODNESS you had the clarity of mind to report back on this vital discovery. I had only done rudimentary audio research and had no idea of the depths of her visual crimes and Miss Demon(ers). How embarrassing for me to have this downloaded NEXT to Patti. Here you have me constantly worried about cookie trails and now this tracking travesty.
It is going to take months and months of hard digital research for me to find anything close. This is so unfair. Another mic drop thread closure.
[licking my pencil tip and scribbling note: steal so blatant?] right over my proverbial empty head. And the triple lutz finish with with KD is just so en pointe with a healthy dose of Einstein. What style. What panache. Judges say: 10 out of 10. Damn. |

The Young Rascals, one of my favorite mid-60's bands, borrowed from The Marvelettes too. It really fit their peppy style. And, OMG, look who else. Smokey Robinson wrote this for The Marvelettes. The Supremes kind of blew them out of the water and all of a sudden a lot of the label's resources switched over to The Supremes, but The Marvelettes were my favorite Motown ladies. R.I.P., Gladys Horton. |

I do enough curtain clinging of my own. Our job is to shower praise where praise is due on artists who are actually out there doing something in the world, I say remembering the world wistfully. Like the way you and No and Bunny keep coming up with inventive ways to honor our betters in cleverly crafted threads. And anyway, OUCH, I think I dropped the mic on my toe. Back to the sofa. And, lest we put Mariah on too high a pedestal, we need to remember she also has this inexplicable career move on her resume. The internet is forever, Mimi. |

Here we go again, because as I was looking for something else for another thread.... This one may seem a little odd but it had the imprimatur of George Martin, having been recorded for his 1998 album In My Life, featuring his productions of various artists doing Beatles tunes (including Sean Connery singing/reciting In My Life). Goldie Hawn found opportunities to sing from her Laugh-In days onward and she actually had a decent voice when she didn't push it, and it's a nice, lush easy-listening-y arrangement by Martin.
The Beatles may be the artists most "borrowed" from ever and I'll bet we could fill up the whole thread with just that stuff. I used to have this album and at one point I played it so much it was the soundtrack of my life, which may explain a few things.
