Tonight on my @kmhd_jazz_radio radio show I’ll bid farewell to #ClydieKing who passed away on Jan 7. It was just recently that I shared this clip of #VenettaFields & Clydie from the 70s version of “A Star Is Born”. . Clydie & Venetta provided backup vocals on countless records from the 60s & 70s. In fact, as the music industry became more homogenized in the 1970s & opportunities for soul singers began to dwindle, artists who once had burgeoning solo soul careers found themselves being called in to soulfully enhance records by white pop and rock stars throughout the 1970s. Sometimes the back-up artists were given credit, often times they were little more than a fine print, liner note listing (if that). . Tonight, along with Clydie, during the 10 pm hour, I will feature soul recordings released by women backup singers: #MerryClayton, #GloriaJones, #CissyHouston, #PatLewis, #ClaudiaLennear, #JeanKing, and more! Join me tonight and each Thursday 9 - 11 pm at 89.1 fm!

Going on the air soon. Second half of my show featuring records by backup singers. I found this cool video of #TheBlackberries being backed by #HumblePie. Normally the Blackberries we’re backing up Humble Pie. So, here we see #VenettaFields on lead with #ClydieKing and #BillieBarnum sharing the other mic. Love it.

Ended up watching Classic Albums:Aja (again, maybe for the 5th or so time since it was released 😎) last night after @tirilleia reminded me that it was Jim Keltner's birthday yesterday and that he played on Josie. I also had her recent dreamy photography posts casting their spell✨...she really knows what she's doing! So her and I are having a #vinylparty even though we're thousands of miles apart and that's just the coolest thing... I turn to one of my 3 copies of this #masterpiece and listen with yet more perspective and volume because it's Friday. #Friyay 🎉 #nowplaying #SteelyDan #Aja originally released #1977 #MCARecords this is a #1980 #MobileFidelitySoundLab #reissue #vinyl #vinylrules #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #nowspinning #onmyturntable Produced by #GaryKatz, Engineered by #RogerNichols #ElliotScheiner #BillSchnee #AlSchmitt • #DonaldFagen #WalterBecker ChuckRainey VictorFeldman JoeSample LarryCarlton TomScott ClydieKing VenettaFields SherlieMatthews RebeccaLouis SteveGadd JimKeltner RickMarotta PaulGriffin DonGrolnick SteveKahn JayGraydon GaryColeman MichaelMcDonald EdGreene DeanParks DennyDias MichaelOmartian WayneShorter TimothyBSchmit JimHorn BillPerkins ChuckFindley SlydeHyde LouMcCreary
