done by Dionne...

never saw this before

I have the vinyl it's from:

I love "The Balance Of Nature"
from this album

Edit: I see you included the album.

I'm not that hip to Dionne's music pos-Burt.

This version's good, but the demo version she cut is even better.

I'm gettin' tired of this place freezing up

You can hear a sample of it at the Amazon entry for Hidden Gems (a great companion for the earlier Rhino best-of collection).

Cool clip, thanks for posting :thmubsup:

"Dionne" is a wonderful album, especially "My first night alone without you" and "Hasbrook heights"

"Being myself" is equally great...
"You`re gonna need me" is one of the best songs she recorded in the 70s.

I'm trying to get a copy of her "Track of the Cat" is it any good?

It's not a bad album. The title track is pretty good except for the cat noises. I like Thom Bell a lot, and it's definitely got his sound.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Good compilation I think it`s the only place you`ll find "Slaves" on cd...

Completely off topic: I was told you`re familiar witha 70s camp horror movies... What you think about "Carrie"? I haven`t seen this movie yet.

My old name - TommyRoss - was a character from Carrie. One of my fave horror movies.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Now i`ll be thinking of this guy every time i see one of your posts



Do you have any more camp-horror recommendations?

Icicle said:

I will org note you

DirtyChris said:

Which version was first, Dionne or The Carpenters?

TonyVanDam said:

A few people recorded it before The Carpenters - Dionne, Dusty Springfield and Frank Sinatra.

B.T. Express' rendition was sampled for "I Want You" by Janet.

I can`t wait to see her mother

theAudience said:

Hers is good. Sinatra? Not so much.

CinisterCee said:

Sorry, I missed this the first go around...

Good grief. If I had access to any of that, my nerdy ass would be sitting at home doing the exact same thing! Thanks for that. It's actually kinda hot.

Wait a damn minute,,,,,how in the DEEP BLUE HELL did Carrie get into this discussion?

Only the ORG , man
