#venettafields

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. Join me at 89.1 fm 9-11 pm #Portland time (stream live at kmhd.org) #soulmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BsevsX0hHJa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8spc6h75hymr

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!

If you're ever in front of a Bonnie Raitt record wondering "is this one good?" My suggestion is to just grab it... There isn't one bad one In the entire monster lot as far as I'm concerned. This one kicks ass too! The musician list is a who's who's too - man Warner Brothers really knew what they were doin' back in the day! And how about this dorky record cover that I LOvE! 😂💃⚾️#nowplaying #BonnieRaitt #HomePlate #1975 #WarnerBrothersRecords #UK #Import #vinyl #vinylrules #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #vinyljunkie #nowspinning #onmyturntable #JacksonBrowne #TomWaits #RosemaryButler #VenettaFields #Freebo #JimGordon #EmmyLouHarris #GaryMallaber #BillPayne #JDSouther #FredTackett...
