Gene Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Dylan and Petty are now doing some hosting with shows about their kind of music. It would be great if XM Radio had a channel devoted to "popular" music. Ok, granted it would be dumb to have a channel for unpopular music... but you know what I mean. They could have Eric host a show/channel which features OUR music. Let's see... NOT featured... Whitney, Mariah.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Can I get an "amen" to the NOT featured comment??!!Lesley Gore has to be included, though. Plus I'm a sucker for Sonny Geraci, in whatever band incarnation he might appear. The obvious suspects, too: Ronettes, Little Eva, Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield....too many to list right now as one of my visitors from the west has arrived and we're headed out to dinner in about 5 minutes!Love your idea, Ira.S* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellie Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Gene - you'll have to excuse Susana.. (just a little senior moment, I'm sure!) It is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 What the heck was I thinking??!! Oh - I know - I wasn't thinking. I can try to blame it on my friend's arrival, but that's no good...suffice to say, this makes it one of those weeks all the way around.Sorry, Gene - that's what I get for trying to catch up all at once on my reading here...Mellie, will you help me scrape the egg of my face???Yes, Gene , I do love the idea!S* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmichel Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If Eric Carmen hosted such as show he could call it "Overnight Sensations". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Susana....What is it about Sonny Geraci you like???? He's my next door neighbor here in Chagrin Falls....seen him perform many times...even fixed his computer...nice guy! He DOES have a great oldies show featuring Jimmy Webb songs!!!!

susana Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Brian - off the top of my head, I think it's because Sonny's voice has a unique sound (at least to me)...can't put my finger on it, but there's something about the quality I really like and could listen to all day. And, of course, we all know that when I was a young girl, his looks couldn't have hurt my opinion of him either! LOLI saw him a couple of times (once in the 80's and once in the 90's...or maybe both in the 90's...I'll have to check) on oldies shows and he was great. However, haven't been lucky enough to see the Jimmy Webb show you mentioned - would love to. I still prefer his version of "Rock and Roll Heaven" - you know, the one that was released before the Righteous Brothers used it for a comeback. Nothing against them, but their production was too "strident" for my tastes, after having heard Sonny's. I still have that 45...one of my treasures.Like I said, I love his vocal quality and could listen to him sing all day. Please let me know if you ever have any news on him that is intended for public consumption...I'd love to know if he is recording, performing anywhere nearby, etc.Thanks for asking -S*P.S. Now I'm motivated to try and record that Climax LP on to my mini-disc. Not set up (yet!) for a digital transfer to puter or CD burner, so that will have to do for now.

seattlesteve Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Precious and Few was a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susana Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Agreed, Steve. I may have liked "Life and Breath" almost as much...think I almost wore out the 45!S* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmichel Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I saw Sonny sing "Precious And Few" on an oldies show on PBS last year...He still looked good and his voice was still golden...In my opinion the way he "phrases" the lyrics sets him apart from most other singers...
