BTW, his brother is actor John Voight. |

24 Jan 01 - 12:51 AM (#381016) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: ddw I think the biggest hit of that was by Juice Newton, wasn't it? I've never heard of Marilee Rush. Or is this one of those crossover songs (pop/country) and I'm only familiar with the country version? david |

24 Jan 01 - 12:56 AM (#381018) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: catspaw49 All the jukeboxes for a long time played the Merilee Rush recording long before Juice recorded it David. Late 60's or very early 70's. Spaw |

24 Jan 01 - 09:37 AM (#381189) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Allan C. I always loved this song! I always felt it was a shame that the lyrics were rather gender-specific because I would have loved to perform it - back when I had a soft-rock band. My favorite thing about the Rush version was the wonderful use of a baritone - or was it a tuba? A great dancing song! |

24 Jan 01 - 09:45 AM (#381193) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Steve Latimer I remember liking the Merilee Rsuh version, and thinking that the Juice Newton (Whatever happened to both of them?) was okay, but both were a little syrupy. One of our local rock stations used to have live acoustic acts perform from time to time. One night they had Chip Taylor in and he performed the song. It was fabulous, he did it with a lot of passion and has a voice kinda like Tom Waites. I wish I could get a copy of the performance. It really sold me on the song. He also had an interesting story about how he wrote Wild Thing for the Troggs. |

Probably on the radio around the same time. Mondegreening, I heard "Reach Out in the Darkness" as "freak out in the garden" the first ten times it was on the radio. |

24 Jan 01 - 01:04 PM (#381373) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Jeremiah McCaw Steve Latimer is right: very syrupy. But I liked it. Much prefer the original Merilee Rush (where is she now?), 'cause the Juice version was no different. |

24 Jan 01 - 01:40 PM (#381400) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: catspaw49 RASTA.......It also occurs to me that a song of similar style/sound (although far different lyrics) was the Jagger&Richards "As Tears Go By" done by Marianne Faithful. Maybe not what you were thinking of, but it may be why you thought of Faithful. Spaw |

24 Jan 01 - 02:02 PM (#381420) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Joe Offer The lyrics are here (click) with information about the relationship this song has with "Wild Thing." A sordid tale, indeed. And as for "As Tears Go By," here are versions by Marianne Faithfull and by The Rolling Stones. This seems to me to be a call from Above, instructing me to put the Stones on the CD player. Don't think I'd go so far as to put Marianne Faithfull on, though... -Joe Offer- |

24 Jan 01 - 02:29 PM (#381455) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Allan C. "As Tears Go By" was a gift to MF by The Rolling Stones. Aw, go ahead and give her a spin, Joe. I know you must like "Those Were The Days (My Friend)". |

25 Jan 01 - 10:11 AM (#382110) Subject: RE: angel of the morning From: Jim the Bart More thread creep: The FRIEND from Friend and Lover who did "Reach out in the Darkness" is Jim Post, a Chicago folk singer with an absolutely amazing voice (and mustache). He has a lot of vinyl recordings available and all are well worth a listen. Lately he's been developing and delivering one man shows in the Midwest. One, "Galena Rose" is built around the lead mines in Galena, Illinois. It has some great songs; Mr. Post is a marvelous story teller. He has also done a show built around Mark Twain, if I remember correctly. The point? From hunble beginnings doth true beauty grow (or something like that). OR Don't underestimate those "one hit wonders". Now back to our thread, which is already in progress. . . |
