Radio Scotland if you're a regular listener to the program you know that each and every week we have a topic of discussion and a way of the fact that this week marked the 100th anniversary of when someone or a given the right to vote in the United Kingdom and females in general in making their voices heard all around the globe and rightly so I thought it would be nice to ask you who you think is the most influential female artist working in the pop or rock music genre talking about either a singer a songwriter an interim a list anything goes really it's really a who you think your favorite female artist has been over the years either past or present and on my list would be people like a Kate Bush Donna Summer would definitely be there Dolly Parton of course Annie Lennox and also for like Madonna Retha Franklin and Dusty Springfield when it comes to the kind of bike rim females I guess you could call them Carole King of the wrecking crew would definitely be high on my list as would be Carole King is a brilliant songwriter and of course a great performer in our own right and also when you think of people like Ellie Greenwich are you going to hear from in a few moments time and also Cynthia of oil half of the great man and Cynthia of your songwriting team I'm asking in the program tonight who is your favorite female artist either a singer or instrumentalist or a songwriter and who is the finest example of that particular artist walked here is one which is akin to buy one get one free because I'm ancient Carole King a moment ago she of course was a member of the session dream team known as The Wrecking Crew who played in the scores of records run about the sixty's and seventy's the list is really too long to go into here on the program but she features on bass on this particular trike which was a Korean by the legendary Phil Spector and Jeff Berry n.l.e. Great Egypt recorded in 1966 and released the fall. Yes I was reckoned to be one of the greatest and l. Aist examples of the famous Phil Spector wall of silence the lead vocals were by Tina Tom the role was a credited to contain a tunnel he was nowhere near the studio when the song was recorded the world as it was the Phil Spector realizing the tunnel was such a destructive and disturbing so force in the studio paid him quite a sizable sum of money to go and take a walk and he gets all to myself in the shadow for the recording of this epic song so a great example of some fine bass playing from Carol Kaye and brilliant vocalizing from Tina Turner This is a container on the classic signs of Deep Mountain High. When Great stuff and a fantastic example of 2 fantastic females are what Tina Turner only vocals and Carole King on base the center River Deep Mountain High from 1967 I was right in that when Phil Spector was kind of perfecting his famous waltzing technique it was a the result of Kane a multi layering the different voices and their insurance outright and it was reckoned that there was something like 21 different players on that song and also 21 different forms of vocals either lead vocals are by grown vocals and we think of the wrecking crew in the should be are comprised of people like Leon Russell on keyboards Glen Campbell the league reclaimed Campbell on guitar of course how Blaine and drums alongside Carol Kaye of course he realized just what an incredible son vote was riveted mountain high from 1967 and asking you on the program tonight who is your favorite female artist either past or present can be a singer it can be a songwriter it can be a producer or it can be an instrumentalist if you'd like to get in touch with the program why not send as a text 280295 remember to put your name in the take so that we can include in the program if you'd rather send us an email as Billy Sloan CIO of b.b.c.

And they all went out she says probably cattle king as an absolute legend and if you're a fan of Carole King you might want to know of course that the say the Carole King musical is coming to the King's Theatre in Glasgow and choose the night off here to is absolutely fantastic Sloane on b.b.c.

Radio Scotland asking on the program tonight do you have a favorite female artist I have or singer a songwriter or an instrumental us and what do you think is the finest of our example of what got luggage shows coming in they Charlie Sinclair gets in touch and says for me to go be Paula styrene from the punk run x. Respects William Graham says it's got to be Whitney Houston who for me is the greatest of all time an undercount will get in touch and says My list would obviously include Deborah Harvey who I've adored since I was away and he says the Fosse the Opi I bought was part of the line so anything from that would be fantastic he also says on the list would be Kate Bush Running Up That Hill as his key choice moment from her incredible by callow and he says Chrissie hind for her amazing attitude and a great diversion of Bob Dylan's I should be released I can tell you that under that will go across the hind and pretend the strike coming up a bit later on in the program so hold on your horses for that one he says I would also have to mention ovarian Sharleen Spiteri any reader and an 11. And last but by no means least according to Andrew he says Courtney Love John Jay and Amy Winehouse for what they are as women then what they bring to music not only for their great voices but for the attitude that they have too many of the male current opponents counterparts just don't share also John McCubbin says For me it's got to be for the likes of Elle Kubrick's Carly Simon Jerry bones Lee's record ski season Freitag need Cavalia and Alison Moyet And was he calling gets in touch and says I would vote for Debbie running of the remains Billie absolutely hands down that she is the voice of Scotland a phenomenal young woman with members of simple minds saying that she is the best musician that they have ever walked for and has a swagger to much Keep them coming Sam is a takes to 5 and email to Billy Sloan show a b.b.c. Doc who taught u.k. And on Facebook and Twitter the Sept is barely Sloane show Ok my heart just a bit late to of my chest when I saw an advert in the papers this week saying that there was a couple of gates coming out from a band who haven't toured for something like 10 long years I'm delighted to say that they have a musical sense put their head back above the park and of course I'm talking about the band led by the brilliant Mark Johnson They're called the other they're going to be returning to live work doing an extensive few Cater and the good news is it includes a couple of Scottish states you can see them live in the balance on the 4th of September and the following May On September 1st they're moving across the city to the Royal Concert Hall and Glasgow to remind you of just why great songwriter Mark Johnson isn't Waffen task the band there are if you need reminding that is let's go back to what me for me as their finest ever album released in 1993 and featuring Johnny Marr guesting on lead guitar this is the other and the sound of love a stronger and death. Great stuff the sound of the other Mark Johnson lead vocals from the album dusk in a way back in 1993 and the sound of Love is Stronger than Death going to play it out for a guy called Derek from Ed Brown who gets in touch and quite rightly tells me that was a year old and I was talking about Rev of the moment how it was released in 1966 not 67 my apologies about that and also Derek says anything by Hall She's one of the he's a she's one of Derek's favorite singers he says I saw her life she has got an absolutely fabulous voice and I can only agree Billy Sloane on b.b.c. Radio Scotland I'm asking the program tonight to have a favorite female artist I love a singer. Instrumentalist a songwriter producer anything at all of woman walking in the music industry why not get in touch with us and tell us who you would nominee and was there also the finest example of hard work either past or present if you want to sing as a takes that 0 to 95 and email is Billy Sloan sure b.b.c. Doc or don't you keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter is quite simply Billy Sloan sure or k. Clive when he says For me it's going to be Susie from the Banshee is the song that I think would best sum up her incredible talent would be a track called placebo effect he says it's hard to link this think of music combined with a voice like no other and there Tara Stone says Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hain both would be good shows for me but it was Susie Sue and Clodius broken from poor propaganda who shook me awake and Mark pretty says I have so many favorites I would not single out joining. Dog I would single out Johnny Mitchell him in McDonald's a joint on the tree but no one from me comes close to keep Bush and I had to pick one song from a bike out hope it would be never be mine from the album the same chill world which I think is an absolutely glorious strike and Chris Sanderson says so many to choose from both past and present I would normally call for people like a lot of smaller set or Alicia Keys especially joining the lattice phase when she was building her career he says but at this moment it's got to be for me Beth Hart a great voice great stage presence and also a great musician to and last but by no means least for the moment Daniel Davis says Tracy Chapman for me a way back in 1980 would be my nomination I was in a few moments ago that my heart almost skipped a beat when I saw the fact that there were going to be heading for Scotland and there was some emotion when I saw the saga on the people during the week because Paul Simon as the say did to kind of quote as a cheering out as he get on a bit these days he still likes writing songs and recording but he's not too keen on living out of a suitcase and going from country to country around the globe sees decided to do a farewell tour which is going to be called home or bone was on the list of extensive days all across America but the good news is these coming to prefix that was 3 shows here in the United Kingdom one in Manchester one High Park in London and one right here in Tony's going to be playing live on Whedon's the 11th of July the hydro in Glasgow and that really is going to be one of the unmissable shows for me of 2018 here from one of his famous albums as the maestro of what this is Paul Simon from a great record called the rhythm of the saints and the sound of the obvious check out. My. My. Yeah from the rhythm of the saints going to live in Glasgow to hide with the some of the son of Paul Simon the obvious shout Ok David Byrne must have thought in 2002 he was heading for the number one spot with this great single.
