Tiggerwoods Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Would love to be in on one of those big beaty New York type productions.... The orchestration does me in on those tunes. But really would love to have heard all the artists I either collect or dance too. One not enough rodders so gonna plump for 3! Freddie Houston - if I had known Jimmy Helms- you're mine you Just Clay - haven't got what it takes Then there's all the fabulous productions from Chicago I love etc etc ....

Robbk Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) In Chicago in 1953, to watch The Flamingos recording "Golden Teardrops" with lefty Bates and his band, and all those great Chicago session players. I WAS in Chicago for Christmas -New Years, and most of the summer. But I was a "White" kid of only 8 years old. So, naturally, I wasn't invited. I think the session occurred in spring, before I arrived, in any case. I DID get to meet some of the Blues and R&B singers at my uncle's grocery store on The South Side. But i never met The Flamingos. I might also have wanted to be in the studio in New York in 1955, when Okeh Recorded planned to record "Screamin'" Jay Hawkins singing several Blues cuts for an upcoming LP, and he (and his entire band) came in roaring drunk, and they ended up with a novelty album and a giant national hit single that vaulted his career to fame.

Guest MBarrett Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm tempted to say I would put an early Beatles session above anything else. But soulwise I'm straight down to Memphis to be there when Otis records "I've Been Loving You" or "Try a Little Tenderness". Thinking about it what about being there when Phil Spector recorded River Deep Mountain High or one of his all-time classics. Probably hours of interminable boredom, but out at the end pops a masterpiece. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rod Clegg An ironic choice Rod, because there is a bit of contention as to who played guitar - Johnny 'guitar' Watson or Lowell George? your attendance would of been able to confirm it one way or the other :o) it is also ironic in that a lot of the session men were an assortment of old hippies and ex Mothers Of invention - not your normal Soul 'heroes', but of course Nolan was not your regular Soul man or even saw himself as one! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jordirip Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I reckon the Tomangoes would take some beating for all out intensity in the confines of a small studio. Witnessing Steve Karmen sing Breakaway would have been cool as well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
