The
Motown Story Volume One (The
Sixties)
Motown
Records is proud to present the new release of a two CD set,
which features more than forty of the greatest songs from "Hitsville
USA" plus sound clips and interviews with most of Motown's
biggest acts. In between songs you'll hear the story of how the
music was created, recorded, and became everlasting, from the
people who made the music - from Berry Gordy and Mary
Wells, to Marvin Gaye and The Temptations,
to The Four Tops and The Funk Brothers. Each CD
in the package is nearly eighty minutes long and the songs are
all presented in their entirety, many of which are recently re-mixed
stereo versions. Songs stretch from Motown's first hit, "Money" by Barrett
Strong to "Someday We'll Be Together", the last
song by Diana Ross and the Supremes. The stories told
by the stars themselves include vintage clips, as well as new
anecdotes specially recorded for this release. The Motown Story
is hosted by Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie and Pat
St. John. Pat also contributes liner
notes in the CD booklet.
Pat has just completed
recording a massive campaign for 14 different DVD's - All of which are
national TV spots, which you should be seeing soon on various networks
across the USA.
These include DVD's for
Jethro Tull, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Def Leppard, Elvis Costello,
Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, and many more. Each spot includes :30, :60. :90.
and :120 second versions, and all the voiceovers were recorded at Pat's
home studio.
Check out the sample
of the spot for "The Who
Live at the Isle of Wight".
Remember that Pat can
do Radio and TV Voiceovers for any product in any style, as well as imaging,
promos, and any kind of narration. Keep your eyes and ears open for these
and other spots, now playing on a TV or Radio near you, and feel free to
e-mail Pat to arrange for him to do voice work for you or your company.
When
Pat
St.John first moved to New York from Detroit
in 1973, he won the very first audition he ever went on. It was a national campaign
for Clairol's Long & Silky,
a product Pat actually used (as you may notice in the "Radio" section
on the WPLJ page, when his
hair was pretty darn long!). For over thirty years now, Pat has loved doing all
kinds of voice work.
Although not every
product Pat has been the voice of has been an overwhelming success, like New
Coke( "I swear it wasn't my idea"), Pat has had tremendous
success as an in-demand voiceover artist doing commercials for Chevrolet,
Mattel Toys, and Smith
Barney to name but a few. The audio and video samples on the left will
give you an idea of the range of styles and variety of products Pat has been the
voice of.
Pat's regular yearly
gigs include being the announcer for Dick Clark's New
Year's Rockin' Eve on ABC-TV, and
the live "Upfront Presentation" at New York's City
Center where Pat introduces all the stars of the upcoming Fox
Television season. Whether it's voicing radio or television commercials
and promos for HBO and Showtime,
to narrations, industrials, and even books-on-tape, Pat knows how to take direction,
and give you exactly what you're looking for.
Pat's new state-of-the
art recording studio boasts the new Telos Zephyr "X-Treme" ISDN unit
(compatible with any such equipment on the receiving end) which enables him to
broadcast his voice to any studio, anywhere, in perfect quality.
When the "Blackout
of 2003" hit the east coast, Pat was called at 7:05PM by WCBS
FM in New York, where their entire building had lost power. The station
was running on generator fuel and figured they had but a few hours left before
they'd have to shut down completely. Luckily Pat's studio (just 12 miles from
Manhattan) had not lost power, and the folks at the station remembered Pat's ISDN
capabilities and asked if he could go "on the air" within the hour as
no one could get into the city at that point, much less the broadcast building.
They managed to fax Pat logs and live copy, and sure enough, Pat was broadcasting
live right on time. As it turned out, Pat stayed on the air throughout the
night. By the time the morning man showed up at 5AM for his 5:30 morning show,
he had to walk up the 40 flights of stairs in the dark, and finally relieved Pat
at 5:36 in the morning. Pat caught some "Z's" and was asked if he could
go back on the air again from noon until 3 from his home studio. (The power was
finally restored in the building around 12:30 that Friday, and somehow, up until
then, there was enough fuel to keep the station running, and they never missed
a "spot"). While the blackout was a tough thing for most people, it
turned out to be a thrill for Pat, as well as an experience he'll never forget,
and no one knew he wasn't sitting right there at the station, doing "business
as usual".
