I would like to see some boxed sets from the following:
Love Unlimited;
Creative Source;
Friends of Distinction;
The Four Tops [[ABC/Dunhill albums).
That brought a smile to my face. Just what I needed in these troubled times. Thanks for posting Marv.
The information in the NY Times article is incorrect. There are 32 outfits featured in some depth in 'Supreme Glamour' with new photographs and details of the designers, materials used, group...
In her book "Dreamgirl" Mary states "I didn't sing on I'm Livin' In Shame, which I thought was melodramatic and lacked a message. From this point on, I would not be on any other singles except those...
Mary, along with Karen Jackson and Kaaren Ragland also toured Australia in 1978 and I recall seeing them perform in Sydney around June of that year.
In recent years Rose Stone [[along with her daughter Lisa Stone and former Motown artist Tata Vega) has toured with Elton John as a backing singer.
I was standing outside a record store when I first heard 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves' and thought that Aretha had recorded a duet with either Erma or Carolyn!
Dancing In The Street - Martha and the Vandellas.
A few years ago I attended a Motown concert in Sydney, Australia which featured the Temptations, Four Tops, Miracles, Martha Reeves and the...
Marv, Merry christmas to you and all the Soulful Detroit family. Had a quick look at the Christmas Concert Special and it looks great. Will check it out in full iater.
Marv, I believe that the female vocalists on "Still Waters Run Deep" are Billie and Brenda from the Undisputed Truth. Though I can hear the similarity to the Supremes as you point out.
By the way,...
It seems that the person from Germany can achieve what Universal can't/won't do on a lot of occasions, i.e produce a good quality Motown product at a reasonable price.
Instead of fighting him,...
Although we don't celebrate it in Australia, I would think that 2 songs which express the sentiment of Thanksgiving are:
Be Thankful For What you Got - William De Vaughn
Thankful For What I Got...
Another sad loss. Della Reese was a real pioneer and multi-talented.
It's always sad news when one of our Motown legends passes. RIP Mr Moore.
Interesting to finally hear this after all these years. With the right material, Diana Ross can sound wonderful performing standards/show tunes [[e.g Rodgers and Hart).
However, with this song I...
Thanks for reminding me of James Carr. He is truly an 'unsung hero' and 'Dark End of the Street' is a classic.
I have his cd 'The Complete Goldwax Records Singles' and will dig it out and give it...
Thanks Marv. Always good to see the classic Ikettes lineup performing.
For many years Venetta Fields has lived and worked in Australia and I believe that she now holds dual American/Australian...
[QUOTE=florence;422447]Were Mary and Cindy on Rhythm Of Life?
If my memory serves me right it was just Diana Ross & The Temptations?
You are right that Mary and Cindy do not sing on this track....
Yes, and I think that the success of 'Rhythm of Life' [[it went top 5 in Australia) overlapped the release of both The Supremes' 'Up The Ladder To The Roof' and Diana's 'Reach Out and Touch' singles...
'The Rhythmn of Life' was lifted from the GIT On Broadway soundtrack and released as a single in Australia and became a huge hit in early 1970.
If you check the Forum Archives you will find a thread from 2013 entitled 'Update and Donations for the lovely Miss Birdsong'. It is stated in this thread that both Mary Wilson and Scherrie Payne...
Happy Birthday indeed Mr Holland! You have given us so much pleasure over the years with your music.
Mary Wilson isn't the only former Supreme to talk up a project which didn't ultimately see the light of day.
For several years we have been promised an album by the FLOs and at one point there...
Fats Domino was one of the pioneer artists who built the foundation for the music that we love. RIP.
