  • Midnight Special Songlist
    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2015 Infinite Dial 2015: Radio’s Money Demo is driving online radio growth. Online radio gained ground in 2015 as listeners aged 25-54 tuned to the medium in record numbers. No longer just a habit for 12-24 year-olds, half of Americans aged 25- 54 listen weekly to AM/FM radio stations online or to streamed audio content available only on the internet, according to new findings from Edison Research and Triton Digital. Weekly listening among 25-54 year-olds increased by over a third during the past year. Online radio is now a majority activity and the gap between monthly and weekly listening is closing. Over half of the U.S. population (53%) now listens to online radio monthly and 44% tune in weekly. In fact, the percent that listen weekly has doubled during the past four years. As the medium matures, the impact of a new crop of older, more casual listeners may be impacting average time spent with it. For the first time since 2008, Edison reports a slight decrease in weekly time spent listening to online radio, from 13 hours, 19 minutes in 2014 to 12 hours, 53 minutes in 2015. However the total time consumed continues to rise. Usage is continuing to shift from desktops and laptops to smartphones. Nearly three quarters of weekly online radio listeners tune in on a smartphone, up from 66% last year. As listening on desktops (61%) and tablets (32%) declined slightly, streaming audio consumption on internet-connected TVs rose sharply, from 12% to 18% during the past year.

  • Biography Armed with Some of the Greatest Songs Ever Written, The
    Biography Armed with some of the greatest songs ever written, The Miracles are still after 40 years, attracting enthusiastic audiences around the world. Motown’s first of many famous groups such as The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, The Commodores, and The Jackson Five, and of course The Miracles the very first group to sign to Motown records, continue to keep the Motown sound alive by performing songs, such as: “Shop Around”, “I Second That Emotion”, “Tears Of A Clown”, “Love Machine”, “You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me”, “The Tracks Of My Tears”, “Ooh Baby Baby” and many more. Their performances at the Nassau Coliseum, the Inaugural Gala in Washington, D.C. and the 4th of July celebration at Duke University with over 60,000 fans in attendance, was simply unbelievable. In 1956, Bobby Rogers, Smokey Robinson, Claudette Robinson, Ronnie White and Pete Moore, childhood friends became The Miracles, and embarked on a career that would surpass their wildest dreams. Berry Gordy Motown’s founder recorded and released “Shop Around” a number one smash on all the charts, establishing The Miracles and giving Motown their first gold seller, this was the beginning of the record company and the group success for many years to come. The Miracles and Motown Records became known throughout the entire world. Over the course of the years, The Miracles continued to record chart-topping hits, including “Ooo Baby Baby”, “Going To A Go-Go”, “More Love”, “Mickey’s Monkey” and “Tears Of A Clown”. The Miracles established themselves as one of the best groups of all times.
