She's not thought of as a harmony singer the way that Emmylou or Linda are, but she is a great harmonysinger. Considering that Joni sang harmony on several tracks of Carole King's Tapestry, one of the best-selling albums of all-time, the above statement is blatantly false and poorly researched, at least the first part of it. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:47:49 -0700 From: Jeff Clark Subject: Re: joni and laura Hi Paz, thanks, but I don't see the link in here. I don't know Joni was ever sore about losing a Grammy to Olivia Newton John. C&S won the Village Voices poll for best album of '74 and thats more prestigous. Watching this great band do Chick Coreas What Game Shall We Play Today. Yet another favorite song.

Alot of the things I have heard her do backing vox on are live recordings and many of them bootleg or not released commercially. I find it hard to believe she did not win more grammys back in the day. I guess she came around before they had a Best New Artist and then most of the time no one knew where to put her. Ah well...

I just, personally, really like the SOUND of her voice at this period of Out in the Country. I find the song tailored perfectly to her singing style and I get a feeling she really enjoys singing it. There seems to be great chemistry among them. I can't really hear Linda or Jackson, but at that point (1972) I think Joni was much more famous. Paul is limited as a singer of course. I've come across people who think Joni should just write songs and not sing, probably everyone has. Plenty of people think Dylan shouldn't sing, but he still does, if you want call it that. I've been reading up a bit on Paul Williams and I definitely want to see his documentary Paul Williams Still Alive. And he won a Grammy of the year award recently? Rambling a bit, but one of my favorite clips on youtube is the 1975 grammy awards for record of the year. I would imagine most people have seen it, buy maybe not. Its where Joni is nominated for Help Me and John Lennon and Paul Simon introduce. You have to type 17th Grammy Awards John Lennon and Paul Simon record of the year, I think. Its a great time capsule. good day. On Saturday, September 27, 2014 10:54 PM, Michael Paz wrote: HI Jeff I have always thought of Joni as a great harmony singer.

Prior to this, my favorite singing of hers on someone else's album was on James Taylor's Long Ago and Far Away. Joni was sometimes referred to as the "sweet singer", and at this period I could see how the term applies. She sang beautiful duets with Johnny Cash. I love Laura and used to have most of her stuff, but things are scattered, so when I've needed a Laura fix in the past year or so I go to Youtube, and despite all the great songs Laura has written and composed and is famous for, I love hearing her do Oo-o Child. I've forwarded it to people, etc. I love the video clips of her in it. Ooh Child, most people know was popularized by the Five Stairsteps and written by Stan Vincent. I haven't seen if Stan Vincent sings it and Joni sings harmony on it yet :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:45:57 -0400 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: joni and laura My bad Here is the link... http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joni-mitchell-mn0000270491/credits check the filters out to see diff info on what she has done...
