Not sure why many on here think I'm Colton, but my name is Ray FitzGerald. I own and operate SpinningSoul.com.
Thanks for replying, though.
I know it isn't Detroit related, but Walden's history with Otis Redding and as a manager or booking agent for so many great artists [[then later with Capricorn Records) makes this noteworthy.
This...
Looks like one sold a few years ago on eBay for less than $50. That's some serious inflation right there :)
...
The whole story isn't told as often as it should. With the recent anniversary of the album, Kevin was kind enough to put together a really comprehensive history of how it got off of the cutting room...
Where has the time gone?
Soulful Detroit original Kevin Goins has broken down the history of the album, and the turmoil going on between the Temptations during its recording, in a superb way.
...
You know, I have to admit that that ticks me off.
The first quote that you used about the master tapes... They took my story from SpinningSoul.com and copied the entire thing onto their website...
I've got a line to a few people in Jackson, but it's getting harder to get through to them.
Earlier today, the Malaco offices and recording studios were destroyed by a series of tornadoes that...
I don't. Wish I did.
I'll take to Jake a bit more about Rosa. I very well could be mistaken, but he's never mentioned her singing before. I'll let you know what I hear.
I know this is a pretty old thread, but I remembered seeing it back in the day.
Thankfully, I've been able to woo Kevin from his hibernation. He's thankfully agreed to become a regular contributor...
Agreed on the recording thing. Jake's story is really odd and awkward at times, but being a journalist by day, I learned to check everything. One thing I've found in my years of interviewing...
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll keep him in my thoughts. Hopefully he'll get better, not for my sake but for all of us music lovers that appreciate what he gave the world.
Sure did. He performed [[but never recorded) with a group named the Skyliners [[this was before the well-known group by the same name) in Tampa, Florida. He also toured as a solo artist as young as 15...
Ralph...Thanks so much again for all you've done. If Harry would ever be willing [[and if he remembers Jock Mitchell) I'd absolutely love to conduct a brief phone interview with him some time. By day,...
I'd have to look a little deeper into the Golden Hit catalogue. The releases you mention are the only ones I've ever been able to find, but Jake told me recently that there were eight 45s released....
Hey Graham,
Actually, Jake owned that label. If you look at the production label on most, if not all, the 45s, J. Mitchell is there. He did a lot of the leg work for the eight or nine Golden Hit...
Wonderful. Thanks so much. I had a feeling you or Dennis Coffey would have a line to him somehow.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again for the help so far.
Hey Ralph, thanks for the insight.
I wasn't aware that Harry was still around. Is there any chance you know of a way to contact him?
The reason I am asking is because I am a good friend of Jock...
Hey all. Not sure if this is too obscure of a question, but I was wondering if anyone knows who owns the rights to the old Detroit label Impact Records catalogue?
The label has been long-since...
Funny how it's misspelled in the title, then spelled correctly in the description. Maybe they'll be selling some snake oil before the show.
Whoa. That is better. I actually have the two-disc set that I bought in the museum gift shop. It's a really nice set indeed.
You guys seemed pretty happy when I posted the crazy sale Amazon was having on the Tammi Terrell box set earlier this month, so I thought you may like this as well..
Amazon is currently selling...
The family is calling it an "ongoing medical condition."
Hopefully she gets better quickly. There are a lot of events scheduled in Macon this year for Otis' 70th birthday. I know it means a lot to...
I typically like Peter Guralnick's stuff, but Dream Boogie had a few inaccuracies. Let's hope it's all cleaned up before a movie is made.
What comes out first: The Sam Cooke movie, the James Brown...
If you go strictly off of the beats per minute, "Nothing's too good" registers at 149.5, whereas "Uptight" is 134. "Sabe Dance" checks in at 130.64, "Leaving here" is 102, which is a bit over the...
