Hello All,

Today I renewed the domain name savejfc.net for another year and adjusted the Excel spreadsheet accordingly.

Another Friday Night music-fest...

Guilty - Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb


This one is a classic by the one and only Gospel singer Patti Austin... A duet with James Ingram on her 1982 album Every Home Should Have One.
Patti Austin & James Ingram ~ Baby come to me

Surely, you must remember this tune...
just friends - Carol Bayer Sager featuring Michael Jackson

[Hey Sven, thanks for the Rodriguez tunes! I saw him on the news this morning and thought it an amazing story... wow.And now for my contribution this late summer SciFi Pizza Friday from my UK friend Julian...]

Hey Sven, thanks for the Rodriguez tunes!  I saw him on the news this morning and thought it an amazing story... wow.

And now for my contribution this late summer SciFi Pizza Friday from my UK friend Julian...

I am sure, I've sent this one to you before. When I first heard this tune, I really thought it was by Hall & Oates.  This was number 1 for about 32 weeks back in 1977.  I am checking up on the Funk band Slave with only Mark Adams in the videos

Remember this when you probably told your ex the words of this track, when it got "Hotter Than July in 1980? LOL.

I literally wore this track off, when I bought this album it back in 1980 that I had to buy another one of this album!

I was only about 10 when I first heard this track and became a Stevie Wonder fan as a result. This album and his previous album started his classic period for the next 4 years... And certainly music ahead of its time.

It's fixed now  ;D

Thanks, Trishah, works well now. Didn't have to resort to Chrome or IE - or anything else, for that matter. Do you think I should've checked using other browsers?

I'm so glad to hear it's working now!  

If it is working in FF, Chrome and IE then it's a good bet it's working in others also, but feel free to check if you want to.  When I first created the forum I did try it using: http://browsershots.org/  which takes screen shots of a site using different operating systems and different browser combinations.  It's takes a while to get back the results and you have to keep monitoring it and extending the time to get them all done.  But the results are invaluable.  I haven't done it lately and I'm very busy right now, so if you want to try it just to make sure...  You can just check the most popular browsers because the less you choose the faster you get the results.

BTW, in fixing the image problem, I ran across the fact that there is a new forum software that is being developed that is supposed to be the next generation in free forum software, Wedge.  Once it launches the software we are currently using for our gallery and video will be moved over to there and SMF will no longer be supported.  I'm sure they will have "moving packs" that will help with translating sites from one system onto their new system.  When that happens and the new forum software is stable, I will move our forum to the new system.  No time frame right now, just giving you a heads-up.

SciFi Pizza Friday -  Music to Groove by....  More tunes from Julian in the UK....


Bloodstone--- Who Has The Last Laugh Now

This also came out on the 1972 album "Natural High."

Charles Love is the second guy on the left and he is the lead (baritone) singer, the main songwriter and lead guitarist. Charles McCormick on the f1rst left is the one leading the (tenor) vocals.

Pure natural soul with very little electronics used. These guys are still alive and going strong into 2012.


BloodStone Mix

I am going to take your mind to the deepest type of soul music there is as composed by legendary (and I mean legendary) gospel/soul-funk group "Bloodstone."

The f1rst 5 minutes is the track "Ran it to the Ground." The second half is the track "Never Let You Go." Both songs were on their f1rst album entitled "Natural High" released in 1972, but this group was formed in 1962 when they did music out of pleasure and not for money...


You most likely never heard this song, but this group had a strong influence on most R&B, Soul and Funk Bands formed back in the 1970s to the present.

See all them cars?! Did you have any one of them back in your heydays?! LOL.


Bloodstone - You're still a young man

This is the Bloodstone live in Cleveland, Ohio a few years back.

The sound of this tune note for note is just as good as it was produced in the studio back in 1973 on the album entitled "Instant Love." Very few groups can do this live.

Charles Love is the man 2nd from left with Charles McCormick 2nd from right, both giving it their all together on the song "You're Still A Young Man."

Try catching Charles Love's jacket and his hat! LOL.
Gospel and Soul at its rawest!!!

This should infuse your pizza with plenty of soul this weekend.

Hello Sven,

I have done some basic fixing.  Will you please check now and see what problems you are still finding?  I don't want to mess with more than is necessary :D

Trishah

Sorry to hear you are having these problems.

I do not know about the FF/Chrome issue you are having.  All I can suggest is that you clear your cache, close FF, then when you come back hit Crl-F5 to force a full page refresh.

As for the images not showing... This may be caused with some clean up I did recently.  Apparently the hosting account I have this site on has way too many files.  This meant that my server was not being backed up.  I had to go through and backup and delete anything that wasn't currently being used.  This meant I had to delete the johnfromcincinnati.net forum off the server (yes I have everything backed up).  The problem is that both this forum and that forum were using the same database.  This was fine when there were duplicate copies over there for this system to use, but is now a problem when they are not longer where they should be.  I just have to go through and make sure everything is linked to these files instead of the old ones.

I guess I should have made an announcement about this before I did it.  I apologize for not doing this.  I thought I had gotten everything relinked.  I'm working on this now.  I'll let you know when I think I have it fixed...

Better late than never...  Here are this week's SciFi Pizza Friday tunes from my friend Julian in the UK...

Ace -- How Long (1974)

I am sure you remember this classic tune by British band called Ace. This was among the first singles I bought while I was still at boarding school; brings great memories.

R & J STONE We Do It

Another classic song by British husband-wife team Russell & Joanne Stone. I used to wear out the groove of this tune on my old vinyl.

Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)

This was a classic back in 1975 on the international club scene performed by Nat King Cole's daughter; I am sure you used to wear out your high heels dancing away to this tune back then. I was still at school hearing this song on Soul radio shows.

Have a wonderful Sci-Fi pizza weekend.

Here is this week's SciFi Pizza Friday music from my UK friend, Juilan...  This week it's 3 tunes from R&B artists Ashford & Simpson from the 1970's.  Enjoy...

Ashford & Simpson Have You Ever Tried It.
Finally another great tune from the same 1973 album "Gimme Something Real" for you to enjoy for your Pizza with.

Ashford & Simpson wrote songs for many people before starting out together, they even wrote for Marvin Gaye.

Have a great sci-fi pizza weekend.


Ashford & Simpson - Anywhere
This song is a really nice track from the same 1973 album.


Ashford & Simpson Aint that good enough
I hope all is well in the life on the other side of Atlantis...

Time for the heavier type of R&B for you...  This track was on their f1rst album entitled "Gimme Something Real" back in 1973.  Nicholas Ashford died just last year (may his soul rest in peace).

Thank you, Sven, for your thoughts on the movies.  I don't go to theaters anymore and get to see everything 6 months or a year later on cable.  But I'll keep your thoughts in mind when I do get to see them.

A tragic day...  Gloom hangs over this SciFi Pizza Friday...  So, here's some Michael McDonald classics to bring a little pleasure to your night...

Michael McDonald - You Belong To Me
I love the bass line in this...  And the pictures the guy choose just makes me smile  ;D

Uploaded by dreamrealitysyndrome on Feb 5, 2009

Song wasn't up, so I thought I 'd see to it that it gets posted.

I didn't have any real clips to go with the song, so I threw in a bunch of Saab 900's ;-)

Patti LaBelle - On My Own ft. Michael McDonald

The Man, Myth and legend in Michael McDonald sings with soul diva in Patti LaBelle back in 1986. A real klassic.


What A Fool Believes - Michael McDonald

I feel really sad about this  :(

I know that it has to be done... It makes sense that it be done... but I'm still sad.  :'(

I added the news to our News page.

For your listening pleasure this SciFi Pizza Friday...

Seals and Crofts Hummingbird

One of the best from the great duo Seals and Crofts. Seals and Crofts are Jim Seals (born James Seals, October 17, 1941, Sidney, Texas) and Dash Crofts (born Darrell Crofts, August 14, 1940, Cisco, Texas). The soft rock duo was one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. They are best-known for their hits "Summer Breeze" and "Diamond Girl". Seals' younger brother, Dan Seals was also well known as one half of another successful soft rock band in the same time period, England Dan & John Ford Coley, as well as for his success as a country artist in the mid-1980s. The duo disbanded in 1980, and both members went on to become public advocates of the Bahá'í Faith. They reunited briefly from 1991-1992 and again in 2004, when they released their final album, Traces.

Castle in the Sand

Beautiful harmonies!

Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze

The classic... Makes me miss the 1970's
