Three-Tune Tuesday: Ladies of Melancholy
Ladies of Melancholy; this is not to say all these Ladies' music is laden with a dose of the stuff, just the three I mention below, and that they are the only songs by each artist I know.
Does that say a lot about me? One of them is a dance tune, and the other weepy ballads. I do like some regular tunes, and these stem back decades when my taste was 'almost normal'.
There was a time before the internet when you would come across a tune, possibly playing in a supermarket or department store and you did not know what that song was.
...'How did we live without Shazam, a live saver for identifying music even when everyone's talking the talk'... - Source
It was frustrating to say the least, as there was no Shazam to identify it, and the only solution was to ask one of the dim-witted sales assistants to spill the beans.
Most of the time, glazed looks were the response.
I speak from experience, and working at Kwiksave does that to you, and they were probably no more enamoured by the music than when I was working and forcibly bombarded with endless shit music by unoriginal artists.
Judie Tzuke – Stay with me 'Til Dawn (Welcome to the Cruise – 1979)
Let me continue where I left off. Some things stick in your mind and my first memory of hearing 'Stay with me Til Dawn' was at the Boots Department in Burnley, Lancashire.
…'why does shit like that stick in your mind for decades?'…
I must have been the very early 1980's, and on that day I didn't find out what the elusive tune was.
I don't know whether I asked, or set the audio memory to one side in the back of my mind, but at some time in the near future I did identify it.
The song is a hauntingly sad, mournful ballad released in 1979, and that's what I don't understand. That year I was obsessed with music and yet this managed to bypass me.
No airplay in America, but as that market is notorious to crack for British artists, it is no surprise. They do miss some gems.
Ultra Nate – Free (Situation: Critical – 1997)
A birth name of 'Ultra Nate', who would think this was not a stage name? It seems otherwise, and being born in the 1960s, I can't think of the shit she would get at school growing up and being named 'Ultra'?
Maybe things were different in America and it was cool to be named Supergirl or some equivalent. This American singer-songwriter did have some other hits, but none I can remember besides the excellent 'Free', of which she is a co-writer.
Speaking of which, it barely made an impact in the USA, besides the dance charts, and the 90s, had some wonderful music of that particular genre.
With a large slice of melancholy throughout the verses, I immediately latched on to this one, and it became a staple played song for me during… ‘the latest decade of any reputable music talent’.
Janis Ian – At Seventeen (Between the Lines – 1975)
To wrap things up, I find Janis Ian an odd name, and even more so when this name is not the birth name (Janis Eddy Fink). Like the Judie Tzuke song (above), this one escaped me for years and what a joy it was to discover it once more.
An American girl unloved and the wrong colour, the words spill out from this singer into a stream of sadness that makes tears well up in your eyes.
‘I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was meant for beauty queens’, ‘Ugly duckling girls like me', wow… hard-hitting but with the smoothest melody. This must have been tough to write.
Although her vocal timbre is not particularly favourable to my ears, it's the lyrics and that winding bleak chorus that strikes you in the heart. It stinks of the 1970’s, and that’s not disrespect, it just has that sound.
Where I managed to hear this one is a puzzle. It was totally off the record in the UK but was a sizable hit stateside in 1975.
We missed out this time, though I can’t say I dig the brass and trumpet section in the mandatory instrumental interlude.
Leave bloody trumpets in brass bands where they belong!

Damn you, that Ultra Nate song... Trapped in my head for days now no doubt 🤣🤣
I loved Shazam. I am so happy now that Google has built in song recognition into their hey Google malarkey. I use it quite a bit now when out and about
It was a 90's anthem, that's long ago now!
Now I didn't know that, I still Shazam music, and it picks up on the faintest of music traces.., great technology.
I would be lost without it, the new Google version that is. I was using Shazam till recently as well.
Sometimes tech is alright! 😃😃
Had to look up Kwik Save, it looks like the British version of K Mart.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwik_Save
"'Stay with me Til Dawn" seems to be a more compelling predecessor to Lady Antebellum's "I need you now".
Judie Tzuke sang that in a surprisingly gentle mode - good find!
It's been a surprisingly long time since I've listened to Between the Lines. I cosign "Although her vocal timbre is not particularly favorable to my ears.."
This was a pleasing mix. Your selections, brought back to memoryf Poe's Angry Johnny so I went and listened to that. Cheers.

I would not have linked them and I do know the 'Lady' song. I saw Lady live years ago, not my cup of tea but @bingbabe likes them, and so I was dragged long.
Likely 95% of the concerts I've seen since being married were at the prompting of my Mrs.
Sting and the Police was worth it to see live. I don't enjoy crowds.
Shazam is still around? I thought it had it's time and then it kind of disappeared with all of the other stuff that comes and goes on the Internet.
It is still around, and I used it only last week to detect a song that I could barely hear. It's 'hearing' is way better than mine!
I'll have to try and remember that!
How come I never heard of Janis Ian? She should have been a big star, beautiful voice, beautiful song! For sure my favourite of all three.
#ttt is a great way to get to know other artists!
That song is so incredibly sad. I guess her teens years were not very pleasant, and I'm sure it comes from the heart. I heard it when much younger somewhere and re-discovered it in the last few years.

Hive Emergency: A Call to Action STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
We are facing a critical situation on the Hive blockchain, where a small group of individuals is exerting undue influence and control over the community. This group, comprised of a single "whale" and their associated accounts, is using their power to downvote good content, self-vote their own posts, and power down their tokens.
This behavior is having a devastating impact on our community, and it is essential that we take immediate action to address this issue. We propose two key solutions:
We understand that some individuals may be concerned about the rules and moderators. However, it is essential to recognize that the rules are made by the same individuals who are farming the system. Therefore, it is time for us to take matters into our own hands and create a new, better Hive.
We invite you to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns in the comments below. Together, we can work towards creating a more inclusive, compassionate community for all Hivers.
We've even caught some top Hivers using their alt accounts to fund their own projects and manipulate the system. It is like they are playing a game of Hiveopoly, but instead of rolling dice, they are rolling out downvotes and taking money as they wish
The Bilpcoin team were attacked by Themarkymark gang so, we started investigating and gathering evidence, and before long, we had a whole list of scammers and abusers. And let me tell you, it was a doozy

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away
We're disappointed to see that our work is still being downvoted despite the valuable insights and information we provide

You should use the #ThreeTuneTuesday tag 👍
I almost missed this post.
Hmmmm, I did use #ttt, I guess that's not enough.
wow! the first song is so good.. it was stunning! 😉👊🎵🎶🎶
Thx UK master for posting to our music-community - never heard about any of the ladies nor about Shazam :-)
Shazam is invaluable, get it on your phone and try it, there's no cost.
Too many Apps on phone - I only use it for WhatsApp, Binance and business email :-)
LOL, mine is full of shit too, I need to clear a lot off!
98% shit - 50% of it because my daughter downloaded useless girl apps and tried to hide in certain folders on screen :-)

Shazam lol I thought Apple killed that.
I really like the songs you describe, they really evoke strong emotions. Especially touching is "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian. Her voice and performance convey the depth of feelings that are sung in the song.
Interestingly, some compositions that are not widely recognized in one country are becoming popular in another. This shows that music can have different responses in different cultures.
I would also like to note that the music of the 70s and 80s left a big mark on my soul. It has a special style and atmosphere that is difficult to find in modern compositions.
Thank you for the interesting memories of the music of the past years!
None of these artists have hit my ears before, nice to learn about them maestro of music.
Obviously never reached our shores, each most enjoyable.

Not sure why she is in a hospital. I know the Janis Ian song well, but not sure what else by her I've heard. It's a pretty jazzy tune.
I think you know I have a thing for some female singers. They can just be more pleasant to listen to than most guys, but still have interesting songs.
So do I, always have!
Judie was kind of hot in her younger years, I'm listening to the Doobies biography at the mo, very interesting. Micheal McDonald.., now that's a voice.
Hi, friend. Thank you for letting me use that banner that you created for the #threetunetuesday community, I love it and I already used it since you gave your permission. Thanks for that. There are two of the topics that I can't see since they don't open, I don't know if it's just my computer or a YouTube problem. Many artists were successful for only a few years, two or three songs and disappeared, leaving us with a desire to continue listening to their music.
