25.01.2022 MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS - NOWHERE TO RUN (in colour) On this date in 1965, NOWHERE TO RUN by MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS was released in the UK (May 10th 1965) Note: ...The video here is Martha & The Vandellas (before the name change to Martha Reeves & The Vandellas) performing NOWHERE TO RUN live on the TV show 'Ready Steady Go' in 1965. The surviving clip isn't in great condition but I've managed tos harpen the picture slightly and inject some colour. One of the group's signature songs, Nowhere To Run was written and produced by the Motown production team of HollandDozierHolland, with the legendary FUNK BROTHERS' backing, and told the story of a woman trapped in a bad relationship with a man she cannot help but love. Included on their 1965 third album, Dance Party, "Nowhere to Run" hit number eight on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, and number five on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. It also charted in the UK peaking at number twenty-six on the chart. This version was ranked #358 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to COLOURING THE PAST.

17.01.2022 SLY & THE FAMILY STONE - DANCE TO THE MUSIC (in colour) On this date in 1968, SLY & THE FAMILY STONE released their second studio album, 'Dance To The Music', (...April 27th 1968) NOTE: I've upscaled, colourised and improved the audio of this promo clip for the single 'Dance To The Music'. Sly & the Family Stone came into their own with their second album, Dance to the Music. This was exuberant music, bursting with joy and invention. If there's a shortage of classic material, with only the title track being a genuine classic, that winds up being nearly incidental, since it's so easy to get sucked into the freewheeling spirit and cavalier virtuosity of the group. ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to COLOURING THE PAST.

Yes, they wound up turning "Higher" into the better "I Want to Take You Higher" and they recycle the title track in the long jam "Dance to the Medley," but there's such imagination to this jam that the similarities fade as they play.

08.01.2022 FRANK & NANCY SINATRA - SOMETHIN' STUPID On this date in 1967, Nancy and Frank Sinatra's "Somethin' Stupid" went to No. 1 in the UK (April 19th 1967). Running j...ust 2:35, the song is a duet between Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy. They sing the entire lyric together, so it doesn't seem like their singing it to each other (which would be awkward), but to someone else. The fun little ditty had a big impact, going to #1 in both the US and UK in 1967. This is the only father-daughter duet to ever top the American Hot 100. ----------------------------------------- Hello, and a warm welcome to COLOURING THE PAST.

Thank you and best wishes, Paul Just visit one of the links to donate (all secure connections): PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.me/decade7787 JUSTGIVING: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ctp ----------------------------------------- This was written by a songwriter named Carson Parks, who along with his musical partner Gaile Foote, released the song as Carson And Gaile on their album San Antonio Rose, which was released earlier in 1967. Nancy Sinatra recorded the song with her father after Frank Sinatra's ex-army assistant "Sarge" Weiss played him the version by Carson And Gaile. Lee Hazlewood produced this song. He recalled in 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh: "Frank Sinatra called me to his office and told me he had found the song (for his daughter Nancy Sinatra) but Nancy wouldn't work with any producer but me." "He played me the demo of 'Somethin' Stupid' and said, 'Do you like it?' I said 'I love it and if you don't do it with Nancy, I will.' He said 'We're gonna do it, book a studio.'" The popular Los Angeles session musicians that drummer Hal Blaine dubbed "The Wrecking Crew" played on this track. Al Casey, who played guitar on this song, also played on the original version by Carson And Gaile. In the documentary The Wrecking Crew, Casey recalled that Frank Sinatra wanted the exact same guitar line he heard in the original. Glen Campbell, who was on lead guitar for the session, tried in vain but couldn't please Sinatra. Finally, Casey told Campbell that he played the part Sinatra was asking for, so it was probably best if he did it again, which he did. Being that this is a love song performed by a father and daughter, some awkward connotations could have prevented it from being a hit. One of the execs at Frank Sinatra's Reprise Records, through which this song was released, feared the worst and told Frank to scrap the project, but Ol' Blue Eyes wasn't worried about it. It became a hit, of course, and he included it on his 1967 album, The World We Knew. This was Frank Sinatra's last hit in the Top 20.
