Music of America HAR-60

 


     Yes, folks - We're going into the 90's with this one!


     What is the deal with the lines?! They're not on the covers! Does my phone camera add them to the images? It just seems to happen to Music of America covers. This bugs me, but at least you can see what's on the covers besides the lines, anyway.


Words - Stephanie Allen Download
Cry Myself to Sleep - Charles Clark Download
My Love Song - Charles Clark Download
I Love Ruth - Carlton St. John Download
A Special Kind of Love - William LeBlanc Download
I Have Feelings Too, Friend - Erica Laine Download
Oooh! Baby - Carlton St. John Download
I think it should've been titled "Ohhh Baby", since that's what he's singing.
Give Your Love to Me - William LeBlanc Download
Eileen, I Learn - Charles Clark Download
It Must Be Love - Charles Clark Download


This Island of Mine - Charles Clark Download

"Cindy Blue" sounds to me like Debbie Davies, who sang on MSR under her real name, then "Debbi Davis", and then "Liza Evans".

The Rest of My Life - Cindy Blue Download
I Want a Woman - Carlton St. John Download
I Take What I Want - Carlton St. John Download
Big City Gal - Stephanie Allen Download
It's a pretty good guess that Fran Schottland Slotkin, who wrote the words to this song, signed the autograph on the cover.
We Were Too Young to Know - Cindy Blue Download
'Twas the Night before Christmas - Carlton St. John Download
Sight Can Be Blind - Carlton St. John Download
Made Up on You - Cindy Blue Download
Heartbreak - William LeBlanc Download

Hollywood Sessions HS-042

     I got the covers & labels of another song-poem album saved up, and here it is. You may recognize some of these songs.



Dick Kent, as "Buddy Raye", takes over the whole 1st side.
Love Is a Treasure - Buddy Raye Download
Say That You Love Me - Buddy Raye Download
Two Happy People - Buddy Raye Download
It Only Lasts for a While - Buddy Raye Download
Sentimental Music - Buddy Raye Download
You've Got Me Talking to Myself - Buddy Raye Download
The Ideal Gal - Buddy Raye Download
Snowflakes Are Falling - Buddy Raye Download

Sweet Dreams - Michelle Wood Download
I Am Water - Michelle Wood Download
You Hurt Me - Michelle Wood Download
The backing track here uses a different arrangement of the Halmark song "Life Is a Flame", along with many other Halmark songs. Hear this one on this post from Bob Purse's "The Wonderful and the Obscure".
Wait a minute... "I'm in the mood for sin"?!
The Play of Life - Michelle Wood Download
Lady Snow - Buddy Raye Download
Samuel Jackson - Buddy Raye Download

Hit Sounds of Today L-8057

 

     I went to my folder of past albums for my blog where I still had the images for the albums. To my disappointment, I only have 4 of them: the one I posted last time, the Ramsey Kearney album that I put up when I was still on WordPress, the MSR 1975 Christmas Album, and this one. I still have other albums, but I didn't have the covers and labels saved up in my folder, so I have to retake the covers and rescan the labels. But when I do, buddies... 7/14/24: I started getting busy snapping those covers and scanning those labels, and I have another album posted already! Click the top of the page for my latest posts!
     In the meantime, here's one from the imaginatively-named "Major Label Records". I don't recognize the singers in the also-imaginatively-named "The Hitmakers", except I think that's Dick Kent singing the last song on each side, which are versions of traditional songs. Note the cute little aliases given for the writers of those.
Love Me - The Hitmakers Download
When I Kiss Your Picture Goodnight - The Hitmakers Download
I'll Dream Your Dream Comes True - The Hitmakers Download
Take My Hand - The Hitmakers Download
One More Time Around - The Hitmakers Download
Sing, Song, Sung - The Hitmakers Download
You can hear, hear, hear this song, and download, download, download it too
... and seem glad!
Old Timers - The Hitmakers Download
In a Reflection of Water - The Hitmakers Download
What could I say that's any different than I did the last 2 times I had it on my previous "S&B" blogs? I'll just let you hear it now.
Careless Love - The Hitmakers (Dick Kent) Download
Weasels in the Chicken House - The Hitmakers Download
The backing music is a different arrangement of that used in the song "Here Comes Ole Dirty Face" by Dick Kent as "The Real Pros". Hear that song on this post from Bob Purse's "The Wonderful and the Obscure".
Wendy - The Hitmakers Download
Let Me Get to Know You - The Hitmakers Download
Amy Girl - The Hitmakers Download
The 23rd of May - The Hitmakers Download
Pretense - The Hitmakers Download
What else could I say about this one that..., etc.
Impressions - The Hitmakers Download
Is She Crying - The Hitmakers Download
He's Got the Whole World in His Hands - The Hitmakers (Dick Kent) Download

Music of America HAR-38

      I think this was the last thing I had here before the cutoff and resulting new address. Anyway, let's go.




I Will Seal It with a Kiss - William LeBlanc Download
Not only does the title look familiar, the words sound pretty dang familiar, too!
Some People in Love - Stephanie Allen Download
Love Shine - Stephanie Allen Download
The ol' Bobbi Blake syndrome of speaking the words over again during the fadeout happens here.
The Girl of My Dreams - Carlton St. John Download
Everybody Is a Dreamer - Carlton St. John Download
Tears - Erica Laine Download
Dreams - Erica Laine Download
So Many Faces - Steve Day Download
If you ever heard the infamous "Dark Love" from Bob Purse's "The Wonderful and the Obscure" blog, and wondered how Steve Day would sound doing a country song, here's your chance!
Sin No More - Stephanie Allen Download
That Steve Day song (a much more appropriate one this time) is also followed by a gospel song.
Boy Just Wants to Make a Living - Stephanie Allen Download
I know this is an anti-racism song, but it reminds me so much of the crap I went through in high school. How I coulda used those no-bullying rules then.


O'Calories - William LeBlanc Download
Angels Don't Go to Bar Rooms - William LeBlanc Download
In Loving Memory - Erica Laine Download
I really want my blog to be as family-oriented as possible, but when you wanna have a complete song-poem album, and a song like this comes along, what the heck can ya do?
From a Hobo to a Dressed Up Bum - Charles Clark Download
Bad Drugs - Steve Day Download
Now he's gonna be a rapper!
I Left My Heart - Charles Clark Download
Well, the title is familiar, but this time the words aren't.
Morning Light - Stephanie Allen Download
The Child Is Safe - Stephanie Allen Download
Eh.
Oh America - The Hollywood Quintet Download
When you see the words "Hollywood Quintet", it means one thing - an instrumental.
Roses and Dreaming - Stephanie Allen Download
