I can't compile a list that narrow, but it did get me to thinking about the music I've listened to over the years.

Like the first song I remember hearing: "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles. I was 3.

The first song I ever learned, my older brother taught me:

It's a me
It's a me Oh Lord
Standin' in the need of prayer

I grew up on Top 40 radio and remember first paying attention to rotation with "Another Saturday Night" by Sam Cooke. The concept of "crossover" music was years away for me.

One year my older sister came back from summer vacation with a stack of albums that I quickly appropriated. Artists like Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Friends of Distinction, Junior Walker & the All-Stars. She also had a coupla things I just couldn't get with: A mopped female vocal quartet called The Beatle Buddies and a female country singer. All I remember about her was a cover of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billie Joe." And then there were the two albums that I eventually would wear out by the newly renamed Diana Ross & The Supremes: "Reflections" and "Love Child" -- which began my fascination with the group and its troubling lead singer. Especially the latter collection and specifically the title tune. It answered important questions in my life that I didn't know how to pose at the time. And it was the first time a song's lyrics ever resonated with me.

I started my own music collection (of 45 singles) with the 90-cent purchase of Laura Lee's "Women's Love Rights."

I was in junior high school when I was exposed to "Black radio." In heavy rotation at the time were gems such as "Master of Eyes (The Deepness of Your Eyes)" by Aretha Franklin, "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & The Pips, "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.


The first album I ever bought was "Rags to Rufus" by Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan.

I was a college freshman studying in my dorm room. Normally I liked to study by the school (or one of the city) radio station's quiet-storm airings. This particular day one show ended and another began. No segue, no anouncement -- just a sensual jazz guitar intro and even more sensual vocals: "You're so late getting home from the office./Did you miss your train?/Were you caught in the rain?" Nancy Wilson's "Guess Who I Saw Today" was my introduction to jazz. Years before, I'd seen Sarah Vaughan on a TV talk show. I didn't know who she was. The host made a big deal over the guest as did my mother. I wasn't impressed. Frankly, I thought she sounded like a man. It wasn't until college that I heard "Key Largo" and "Gloomy Sunday" and fell in love with that voice. My quote for years had been: Nancy Wilson turned me on to jazz, but Sarah Vaughan turned me out.

Later on during my college years -- while I was seriously feelin' Patti LaBelle, Patti Austin, Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, The Emotions and, of course, Aretha Franklin -- a friend lent me an album cassette called "You Know How to Love Me," beginning a lifelong love affair with Phyllis Hyman.

Sometime in the early '90s, I found that I'd begun liking fewer and fewer of the top Billboard titles until finally I recognized practically none. Ultimately I wound up a devotee of Grown Folks' music, largely smooth- jazz vocalists and instrumentalists. Some of the young'uns today consistently act like they got some musical sense: India.Arie, Chanté Moore, John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae, Melinda Doolittle. And Janet Jackson. And despite everything, evenWhitney Houston, too. But especially India.Arie.

At this point in my life, the music's gotta seriously come right or not at all.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/TMoor/journal/2008/02/10/2y2n_timeline#comments [Vinyl Fetish] The Supremes A' Go-Go & Lamont Dozier http://www.last.fm/user/IanAR/journal/2007/03/13/szm_%255Bvinyl_fetish%255D_the_supremes_a%2527_go-go_%2526_lamont_dozier/group Tue, 13 Mar 2007 20:15:39 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/IanAR/journal/2007/03/13/szm_%255Bvinyl_fetish%255D_the_supremes_a%2527_go-go_%2526_lamont_dozier

I love this album - Supremes A' Go-Go! It's one of those treasured vinyl records I inherited, from my dad. Since Motown/Universal have not seen fit to detail this great album, I'll do so here.

Tracks - Side One
  1. Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart (Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr)
  2. This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You) (Holland-Dozier-Holland, Sylvia Moy)
  3. You Can't Hurry Love (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
  4. Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over) (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
  5. Baby I Need Your Loving (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
  6. These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Lee Hazlewood)

Tracks - Side Two
  1. I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
  2. Get Ready (Smokey Robinson)
  3. Put Yourself in My Place (Holland-Dozier-Holland, John Thornton)

  5. Come and Get These Memories (Holland-Dozier-Holland)
  6. Hang on Sloopy (Wes Farrell, Bert Russell)

Personnel
Lamont Dozier



The basic data, above, is sourced from Wikipedia.org and's piquanted my interest in Lamont Dozier! Since the early , and the days on Caister and Bournemouth / weekenders*, I've loved the floor : Going Back to My Roots. It's near the top of my charts, currently, at #266 in my all-time track chart, i.e. it's getting played more than monthly (pretty good going with someone on my wide-ranging tastes).

Note to self: Must tag more of The Supremes.

* - Inspired by, likes of: (Dr.) Bob Jones, Chris Bangs, Sean French, Bob Masters & Gilles Peterson.
