PLAYLISTS FOR “SPEED DATING” AND “NIGHT OF THE LIVING INSOMNIACS” (ARCHIVE SHOWS) (12.3.16)

5 Dec

Didn’t do a live show this week, but found a couple of gems hidden in the archives.

First – Musical Speed Dating, or as I think of it: Match.com meets Musical Chairs! 30 singers in 60 minutes – you do the math. No other radio program would attempt to do this, probably for good reasons.

SONG TITLE / Artist / CD Or Album Title

A FOGGY DAY / Sarah Vaughan / “Live In Japan”
I MARRIED AN ANGEL / Sammy Davis Jr. / “The Shelter Of Your Arms”
JUST YOU JUST ME / Ray Charles/Betty Carter / “Ray Charles & Betty Carter”

SMILE / Rickie Lee Jones / “It’s Like This”
YOU’RE EVERYTHING BUT MINE / Joe Williams / “Illuminated”
LOOK OUT! / Joanie Sommers / “Look Out It’s Joanie Sommers”
NOBODY’S HEART BELONGS TO ME / Lillie Kae / “I’m Glad There Is You”
I WANT A LITTLE GIRL / Billy Eckstine / “No Cover No Minimum”
KEEP YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL / Emmy Rossum / “Sentimental Journey”
THE GREAT CITY / Shirley Horn / “But Beautiful”
SIGNING OFF / Helen Merrill / A Date With The Blues”

Second: Night Of The Living Insomnaics! Ok, let’s dispense with the jokes about how can I have insomnia when I’m always putting audiences to sleep. That makes me yawn, okay? But not because I’m tired. Still, pretty impressive how many great singers and songs have dealt with the subject.

SONG TITLE / Artist / Album or CD Title

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT / Frank Sinatra / “Ring-A-Ding-Ding!”
IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS / Ella Fitzgerald / “Live At Mister Kelly’s
WHEN YOUR LOVER HAS GONE / Nat King Cole / “Just One Of Those Things”

PLAYLIST FOR “ELLA FITZGERALD CHALLENGES THE WORLD!” (9.24.16)

26 Sep

This week Ella Fitzgerald took on all comers in a head-to-head, well, really a voice-to-voice competition. She sang standards and some surprising duets; she even challenged Sarah Vaughan in a “forgetting the lyrics” competition (Sarah won) and challenged Shirley Horn to a “slow singing” competition (Shirley won). But it was impossible to listen to this show without marveling at Ella’s musicality and her warmth and without feeling fortunate that we had her for so long.
