Joelmon Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 She was like the Association.... Looked at as either the most hip, straight person.....or the straightest, hip person. Great tunes...and some rocking for sure...appealed across a broad range of folks, hence..she was hard to categorize, imo. I tend to think she was a straight, hip person....

I heard it frequently around our house, along with many other flavors of the era...definately respect her voice and talent. I remember she was big at the time...

Forgot to mention that a while back, maybe a couple of years, they re-released/remastered Marivin Gaye's classic album "What's Going On" (hope that's the name of the lp, cant remember, but it is the one with that song on it) using the same appealing format (i think anyway). That is, in addition to the lp having been cleaned up, every song on the lp was represented with a live counterpart. In the case of this album, I believe the live stuff comes from a single show were he performed all the songs off his new (at that time) lp. I dont have it, but it is on my wish list!

MHD Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks for the info Jahfin, I'll be interested in this one for sure. Tapestry was one of my favourite vinyls in my youth, but I have never owned it on CD. Guess it's time to make amends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 That sure brings back some great memories. Every girl I knew had that album. She's a wonderful songwriter and performer. I'll be looking for that one I was going to say the same thing ally! Every girl I knew, plus most of the guys, had that album....it's a great one, to be sure. She was like the Association.... Looked at as either the most hip, straight person.....or the straightest, hip person. Great tunes...and some rocking for sure...appealed across a broad range of folks, hence..she was hard to categorize, imo. I tend to think she was a straight, hip person.... I never realized that the Association had that reputation, Joelmon. They were my oldest brother's favorite group. So how do his other favs -- the Four Seasons, Hollies, and Beach Boys -- rate on the hip/straight meter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 So how do his other favs -- the Four Seasons, Hollies, and Beach Boys -- rate on the hip/straight meter?? The hippest album to like by the Beach Boys is Pet Sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelmon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 ^ I personally thought that the albums after that were even hipper.....Sunflower for instance and Surf's Up. Pet Sounds gets all the accolades though.... As for the Hip/Straight factor Angel w/BrokenWings....I rate the Four Seasons as a cocktail and martini shoeshined group...The Hollies were totally HIP afterall they had Graham of Hash as a member.... and the Beach Boys were Hip, even in their days of that clean look and All American image. Then something happened as they started dying and freaking out....and when Mike Love took over....they became nerdy in my view..... You asked....

That is "fall off my chair" hilarious! But I somehow knew you would agree w/me that the Hollies were totally HIP. OK, so my brother gets one point for the Hollies and half a point each for Association and Beach Boys (am just counting 60s music for all). Voila! He scores a Cool Factor of 2 out of 4! Wow, much higher than I'd expected, LOL, will have to share this news with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
