First three off of the i-Tunes shuffle this evening...
1) "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" (Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio): From the Together album, released by MotownRecords in 1969. It was the second and final duets studio album combining DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES and THE TEMPTATIONS into an eight-person Motown act.
Together was released on the same day (September 23, 1969) as Puzzle People, a regular TEMPTATIONS album showcasing the group's then-current psychedelic soul sound.

2)
"Peaches en Regalia" (Frank Zappa): This is the first piece on Frank Zappa's 1969 recording, Hot Rats. Hot Rats was a solo recording produced by Zappa without the Mothers.

Well folks...Lifelogger is not allowing us to upload this evening. We will try in the morning. Zappa was already uploaded, so we got that one there.

So glad you got home safely. Can't wait to hear about your visit with Matt!
Love the Zappa. I don't have any in my catalog and I often forget how good his music is.
Glad you had a good visit with Matt.
Can't wait for pics and details!! So glad you had a great visit with Matt.
And I LOVE Whipping Post!!
Smooch
Glad that you had a good time. Cheers!!
I am sure you had a wonderful time! Looking forward to the pics.
I've been very slack on visiting everyone's blogs lately. :-(
But I'm glad you had a great weekend.
SONGBIRD: TY my friend...
TRAVIS: That is one of my favorite songs...not just by Zappa...favorite of all...
TURNBABY: tomorrow you shall see...sorry lifelogger would not let me post...
MATT-MAN: Thanks my friend
KATHERINE: Certainly did and just picked them up
TWYLA: We all go through up and downs of blog reading...no worries
Glad you had fun! My trip was awesome, the migraine the drive gave me not so much. Gave myself permission to not go near work, my blog, or even my computer Fri-Sun. Look for my review tomorrow!
There is something about fathers and sons that is special...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to see the pics, Bond. I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend with your son.
Do enjoy the Allman Brothers. Whipping Post is great, but my favorite of theirs (since I first heard Idlewild South in 1972)is the incomparable instrumental 'In Memory of Elisabeth Reed' which had so many great sounds: rock, latin, jazz...
Thanx for the Zappa piece. Sadly, I have to admit, I'd never heard Frank in general and this is nice. I love a jazzy wall of sound, so to speak. Didn't know about Lowell George here, but I loved Little Feat way back when (including Hi Roller, Oh Atlanta, etc.)
STARR: So sorry 'bout the migraine and good idea with staying away from 'puter...I am anxiously awaiting...
BUD: I understand the father/daughter bond is also special, but in a different way
MIMI: Only a couple of more hours! LOL
RALPH: Very cool Roger...so cool that I grabbed Elizabeth since I had already uploaded it ...
Frank has many many sides to him...we may have to explore soon in a Tutelage ...
Thanks for the Zappa tune Vin...Cant wait to see the photos!
Waiting for great stories. Welcome home and thanks for the Zappa. Great way to start the day.
