Subject: Q for Bob: Joan Armatrading - Show Some Emotion - 1977

Message Detail:
Bob, I like a variety of music. Like, this song, received a fair amount of (one station) local airplay back in the early '80's, probably sooner, too. However, it did poorly on US Pop music record charts. But it didn't stop me from buying the LP and CD! I agree it doesn't fit the sound of hit music, but still nice. Think Joan did okay elsewhere, like the UK, maybe Germany, too, but nothing to speak of.

I post my snippets elsewhere to see how people react to the songs. Even one person who doesn't like me admitted this is a great song! :-)

You have plans on expanding into '80's music or beyond? My feelings, you can only dwell on the past for so long. I like to think I'm collecting what I feel would make a decent radio show, rather than totally depend upon record charts, by what I heard on radio some time in the past. Don't get into obscure material, too many others cover that.

From the vibes I receive from local DJ's, they don't agree with what they are allowed to play, it's just a job. That's sad! Would love to change that for them! Even my older sister, who I sometimes fool with alternate versions *wink* was on my web site clicking to hear the snippets.

I also love hearing high quality hit music sound, before I die. What got me vinyl collecting in the first place. Even the mentors of commercial HD Radio doesn't know what that means. Never did find who supplies them with music - a big secret!

However, thank you and others for keeping this fine music alive!


Best,
John
