Thanks Erica! I'll set the recorder!
Avatar 3:33pm
Erica:

For some reason though, they edit out the part when Linus and Violet are talking in the candy store about what to get their teacher, which makes one of the later scenes not make sense. Must be for timing reasons.
Avatar 3:33pm
Erica:

teachers I mean.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah, more commercials now that there were 30-40 years ago. It's a shame they edit like that
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:36pm
Brian in UK:

Larry, excuse my ignorance but what is the difference twixt Tamla and Gordy.
Avatar 3:36pm
Erica:

Thankfully that edited scene can be watched on YouTube.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:37pm
Funky16Corners:

Brian, Motown had a number of subsidiary labels, Tamla, Gordy, SOUL, VIP etc

No Larry about your program schedule for the next few weeks.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:01pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - Me too. His undeniable greatness and the depth of his soul were remarkable.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm
Brian in UK:

Sad to say that I remember his passing, I was only about fifteen and it did not sink in until much later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm
Funky16Corners:

A huge loss.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:11pm

Thanks guys!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:19pm
Funky16Corners:

@Brian - Can you imagine where he would have gone had he lived?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:19pm
Jeff Ash:

Sad but true: Our house in Madison, Wisconsin, was a mile north of where Otis Redding's plane crashed into Lake Monona in December 1967. We moved there 20 years later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:19pm
Funky16Corners:

Isn't there a memorial by the lake?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:22pm
Jeff Ash:

Yes, in downtown Madison. I often thought about Otis and the crash while running along the lake.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:24pm
Funky16Corners:

I can imagine. There was a piece of the plane at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Both touching and macabre.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:28pm
doctorjazz:

Dark End...one of the greatest ballads EVER!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:28pm
Funky16Corners:

Yeah,w hat a story, and what a voice James Carr had to tell it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:30pm
doctorjazz:

I haven't heard bad versions of it, but Carr's is fabulous!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:31pm
Funky16Corners:

Dan Penn and Chips Moman. Can you imagine having written a song that good?
Avatar 4:40pm
SquigY0:

/me sways
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:40pm
doctorjazz:

The Burrito Brothers loved these (and covered them) as well.

(I also recall a great version by Taj Mahal).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Funky16Corners:

This is William Bell's song, but I think Otis Clay does the definitive version.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:41pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - I love the Burritos version

Franco Twinkie:

Okay here is the deal Doc - Where I got todays sammich is this place called The Hat, which at one time used Cooks as a supplier, which was top shelf. It's been awhile since I've had one, and frankly I was underwhelmed. Too salty, and boiled not steamed. Not as good as I remember.
