Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is a song written by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson in 1966 for the Tamla label, a division of Motown. The composition was first successful as a 1967 hit single recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and became a hit again in 1970 when recorded by former Supremes frontwoman Diana Ross. The song became Ross's first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

When Barry Gordy chose Diana Ross to sing lead for the song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, I must admit that she was a good choice for that song. She had a soft & light voice and it was very soothing.

“If you need me, call me.”
She sounded very sexy and persuasive with her words.
“Just call my name.
I’ll be there in a hurry.
On that you can depend and never worry.
You see, my love is alive.”

Simple words she made beautiful with her voice. It was like listening to a beautiful poem at first for someone who needed someone. And then Miss Ross began to sing, “

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”.
(Diana Singing)

She sounded as if she was calling from a mountain. It didn’t matter how far away you were. You didn’t have to worry because high and low somebody was going to be there no matter what. That’s what Diana Ross was telling you. She had a way of reaching us with a powerful vocal.

Miss Ross sang “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” as if the song was her very own. There is so much feeling when you here it. Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye’s version was awesome and so was Diana’s version.

Jungle Boogie is a funk song recorded by Kool & the Gang for their 1973 album ‘Wild and Peace”. It reached number four as a single, and became very popular in nightclubs. The music and song really makes you think about the jungle with boogie style.

(Jungle Boogie)

The song’s spoken main vocal was performed by the bands roadie, Don Boyce.

Jungle Boogie is a great song to dance too. I love the way the horns are played together with the beat and bass. It’s like jazz. The words & music stays in your mind and never leaves. It’s the kind of song that didn’t need a lot of words like most songs are written. Just a few words and the spoken main vocal’s expressions in between.

Good evening!
I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to Sound Flave. Today’s topic is Timbaland.

Timbaland brought a new sound to the world in beat. Do you remember Aaliyah’s song, “ Are You That Somebody?” That beat was very different along with other sounds. helping the beat.

If you’re heard disco, that’s a certain kind of beat. Then there are 80’s dance track beats. There’s a Motown beat. There’s a Philadelphia sound &beat. Timbaland made his very own. He’s not just about the beat though. There are other sounds he made too. All kinds of sounds. I’m going to give you an example. Now this isn’t exactly Timbaland’s sound, but it’s based on his sound because I can’t keep up. He’s got a lot going on in music. Now listen to this. This is my way according to his way for an example. .. (playing music)

Do you remember Aaliyah’s song, Try Again? That’s how I made the example. When I heard Aaliyah’s “Try Again” that song made me her fan.

When I heard “Are You That Somebody” by Aaliyah, I thought , I have never heard a beat like that before. Aaliyah must have known what she was doing to work with Timbaland. They made a perfect combination.

Timbaland is a record producer. He produced for Aaliyah. He is a rapper, also singer, songwriter, and record executive. Not only did Timbaland producer for Aaliyah, he helped produce many albums for various artists.

I’m Gail Nobles on Sound Flave talking about the great beat & music maker Timbaland.

Song: Someone In The Dark
Song by: Michael Jackson

Podcast vocals acapella: Gail Nobles

Hello everyone! Today’s topic is Michael Jackson and The ET Extra - Terrestrial Album. A book is also included in the album. You can listen and read along. It was for the 1982 blockbuster film of the same name directed by Steven Spielberg. Composed by John Williams, and the album was narrated by Michael Jackson, produced by composer Quincy Jones and distributed by MCA Records.

Where I’m from, not many people have heard of the E.T. Album. I’m not sure if that many were sold at the time. I was lucky to see and buy the album. My favorite part of the album was hearing MJ sing, Someone In The Dark. At the time in the 80’s, not many people I know heard the song. I’ll sing a few lines.

(Singing)

I use to listen to Michael Jackson and sing along with him singing the song, Someone In the Dark. I could sing better in the past. I was a lot younger then, and was practicing more.

Michael’s voice sounded so angelic to me in singing a song. He had a sweet sounding voice. (Singing) He had a way of singing his words and expressing himself. When I heard Michael singing, Someone In The Dark, I was touched and felt some loneliness in my life just like he did. I think we all do sometimes. The song was written by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman and was composed by Rod Temperton.

Today’s topic: The Beatles - Let It Be

Later I’m going to tell you how me and my mom both laid down and had a dream about the song, Let It Be. But first, let’s talk about how it was written.

Let It Be is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on March 1970 as a single. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership.

McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles ("the White Album") in 1968. Mary Patricia McCartney died of cancer in 1956, when he was fourteen. In rehearsing the song with the Beatles in January 1969, in place of the "Mother Mary" lyric, McCartney occasionally sang "Brother Malcolm", a reference to the Beatles' assistant Mal Evans. McCartney later said: "It was great to visit with her again. I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing 'Let It Be'. In a later interview he said about the dream that his mother had told him, "It will be all right, just let it be."

It’s funny because when my mom was sick, we both heard the song by Paul McCartney “ Let It Be” on the same night in a dream. Me and my mom were very close.Somehow she knew she would die young. That’s something she felt and strongly believed. But I kept on having faith that she would not die.

When she died in the hospital, I prayed that God would bring her back, and God did and allowed her to live just a little while longer. The Lord had showed me a miracle, but it was still in God’s will for him to take my mother. The breath of my mother left again around noon time. I knew I had to let it be. Still feeling like it wasn’t the end, I knew that Christ was there and I heard him say some words to me. My mom died in the month of May of 2001. She was 53 years old.

“Let It Be” had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning it’s chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. The song, “Let It Be” was recorded on Apple records.

Today’s topic: The Temprees.
Y’all remember the Temptees. (Singing)

The Temprees are a soul vocal trio from Memphis, Tennessee. They were most popular during the 70s. The band released several albums on We Produce Records, an offshoot of Stax Records. The group was first signed to Stax Records in 1970. Later they moved briefly in 1976 to Epic Records for two singles.

I love the groups song “ Explain it to Her Mama”. It’s from the album, The Best of the Temprees. I don’t know how they came up with the song, but it was a very good song to come up with. The lyrics tell the truth. I don’t know if the song was a hit, but it sure does sound like it was a hit. It’s telling a mama to teach her daughter. The song is a mama message song. I don’t hear it much on the radio on the oldies station. But it’s a good song to play.

(Singing)

Music Intro by: Gail Nobles © 2022

Time Life added music in 1967, selling box sets and collections through Time–Life Records. During the 1960s and 1970s, the collections released by Time–Life Records catered to an adult audience, They have a long list of music series. Soul, Rock, Classic, Easy Listening, and music of all kinds. Music I enjoy. The 60s, the 70s, the 80s. …

I saw Soul Superstars of the 70’s from their commercial on television. I love their commercials. The commercial was showing so many singing groups and singers like George Benson, Whitney Houston, and Marvin Gaye. There were so many hit songs that were mentioned, and every singing group and singer was definitely a superstar.

Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book marketing division of Time, Incorporated. It took its name from Time Inc.'s own cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, two of the most popular magazines of the era, but remained independent from both. Starting in 1967, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. After Walter Wanger's death (film producer) in 1968, its Time Life Films subsidiary also acquired his production company Walter Wanger Productions and many of its films. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels were no longer producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life transitioned to CD.

Actress: Headlines! What Do the headlines say? I’ve been making it. Is it Ike and Tina or is it Tina Turner? She’s got another hit song.

Singing: Reading the headlines
What do they say about you and me?
Reading the headlines
Since you’ve been gone
I’ve been making it on my own.

Announcer: This very day, Tina Turner is still in the headline news. Now on Broadway, there’s a Tina Turner Musical-based on the rock and roll icon. She’s the Queen of Rock n Roll.

Turner began her career with Ike Turner’s King of Rhythm in 1957. Under the name Little Ann, she appeared on her first record, “Boxtop”, in 1958. In 1960, she was introduced as Tina Turner with the hit duet single “ A Fool in Love”. The duo Ike & Tina Turner became one of the most formidable live acts in history. They released hits such as Its Gonna Work Out Fine, River Deep - Mountain High, and Proud Mary.

Everybody knows about the kind of Relationship Ike and Tina Turner had. Tina left her husband and in the 1980’s Turner launched one of the greatest comebacks in music history. Her 1984 multi-platinum album Private Dancer contained the hit song What’s Love Got To Do With It, which won the Grammy Award for the Record of the Year and became her first and only No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. At age 44, she was the oldest female artist to top of the Hot 100.

Her chart success continued with We Don’t Need Another Hero which appeared in the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which starred Tina Turner and Mel Gibson. And there were other songs like Private Dancer, I don’t want to fight No More, and Golden Eye which was the theme for the 1995 James Bond film, Golden Eye.

Tina did well with her comeback, and she has done it all without Ike, and she’s still making some headlines today.
