WIKIPEDIA THE SAINT
Of course morning music will never be like it once was at the mega super-club in the East Village The Saint. But that doesn't mean that this style of music should not be celebrated even today.
Any Trouble's Touch and Go is a definitive morning music track. I'd also have to say it was a nifty name for this relatively obscure group from Manchester.
What are some of your morning music favorites? How do you define the difference between morning music and sleaze? Let's see if we can get a few interesting comments for this post. I don't mind that 95% of the visitors to this site are lurkers but every now and then a comment makes me feel like it's worth my while to continue posting.
Here are some of my favorite morning music/sleaze tracks: Only Music Survives - Alba, It's Over - Alma Faye, Victim - Candi Staton, This Time - Chante Moore, When Your Heart Is Weak - Cock Robin, Try My Love - Denise LaSalle, I Don't Mind (take everything) - Eugene Record, Test The Trust - Evident, No Promises - Icehouse, Was That All It Was - Jean Carn, Love Thy Will Be Done - Martika, Total Control - The Motels, Loving You Losing You - Phyllis Hyman, American Love - Rose Laurens, No Conversation - View From The Hill
ReplyDeleteThat's a great overview. I'd have to say I don't really know two of them, Evident and View from the Hill. The others I had except perhaps for Martika which I like but never bought.
ReplyDeleteNeither Evident nor View from the Hill are rare and are
ReplyDeletewell worth a listen or 100. Martika still makes me cry every time I hear it (although I'm not a huge fan of the Prince remix).
View from the Hill is on Youtube:

Unfortunately Evident is not.
I asked some friends and they gave me all the ones I was missing. Mark Thomas gave me Martika but it was alas the Prince remix.

ReplyDeleteAida Ross and Lidia Tarnowska I only have as MP3s, the rest I have on vinyl. I've actually never even seen the Aida Ross.
ReplyDeleteThose two would be great. I haven't gotten them yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd be more than happy. How can I get them to you?
ReplyDeleteCould you upload to media fire and then send a link? Over on the side is my contact information and my twitter. Thanks
ReplyDeleteJames I never did end up hearing from you again.
