Thank you so much Lucky. Both songs are good and Caught Up in particular sounds like potential top 20 to me. Strange + sad this is all they released. His autobiog is shockingly honest and it’s hard...

Thank you so much Lucky. Both songs are good and Caught Up in particular sounds like potential top 20 to me. Strange + sad this is all they released. His autobiog is shockingly honest and it’s hard...
Here's wishing David & Joe all the luck in the world. We are ready & willing to buy these CDs.
I’m just reading Alexander O’Neal’s autobiography and astounded he says he recorded for Motown in LA for a year but though Alex says the recordings were very good Motown shelved everything. Says he...
Mine arrived last week. Inevitably out of 43 tracks some, particularly non-Motown covers, are not to my taste but on the whole I’m delighted. Some very creative reinventions such as Hunter & Livin’...
With so much varied discussion over mono / stereo versions I thought I’d share the attached correspondence I had back in 1983 with Motown UK. I already had the live album from the 60’s in mono and...
Iselys' Behind A Painted Smile [[+ outro!)
Well it’s arrived and lives up to all expectations. The backings are fine, I’ve heard worse in the US at House Of Blues, small clubs & exhibition performances. And some performers brought their...
Heartfelt thanks guys for all the hard work, dedication & love you put in. You certainly proved there are some astonishingly good performances on Motorcity. You probably know that Ian’s been...
So many thanks Calv21. Have immediately ordered this. OF COURSE it’s not the Funk Bros but nor would it be if you saw these live in the US or elsewhere. And UK musicians can produce creditable tracks...
Brilliant choice Motown Eddie. That’s an earworm that’s been running through my head since 1967. Glad to know I’m not alone in loving it.
OK, no. 3 did not go well. My final attempt.
Image 3 hopefully
Think I've figured it - images too big. So now 1 at a time, here's no.2
Sorry, I'm obviously not attaching the pics correctly. Is anyone able to advise me?
Sorting thru photos of the late 90s came across these. Prized pic of Mrs Esther Edwards with [[a much younger) yours truly. Then I was curious to see behind Hitsville. Finally, I came across a...
Wild Night is a standout track on an amazing album. Not a single dud track in an impressive range of styles. I’ll never understand why this album did not do so much better. Martha has never been in...
Good to hear, thanks. While they’re at it do you think they could please find a way to stop the “Kindly Consider Turning Off Your Ad Blocking” banner that’s started appearing EVERY SINGLE TIME I look...
Anyone any idea when it will be on television? Some rumours of 28th July?
Sorry but this reeks totally of AI created content. Sterile, random bland comments, some repeated mechanically within the same article. No feeling for the songs at all and obviously compiled from...
This has absolutely nothing to do with Motown. What’s it doing here ???!!!???
Best birthday wishes to Ralph & Russ. We truly appreciate all that you did and still do, not least this wonderful forum.
Gino recorded a duet of Your Precious Love with Frances Nero on Motorcity in the early 90s. I have to say I did not recognize his voice from his Motown days. But Frances confirmed she had recorded...
I recall this very question being put to Smokey in a Blues & Soul interview in the 80s. He said Claudette wanted to record solo and he’d started writing & recording several songs on her but for...
Such sad, sad news. Tina soundtracked my life thru all these decades. Her volcanic vocals with Ike thrilled me to my teenage core, I saw her fight her way back inch by inch [[singing live in Cornwall...
Hi again westgrandboulevard,
All 3 were specifically confirmed on that track yesterday by an impeccable source – Mr Levine himself [[via his FB a/c). So I don’t doubt it. But I agree one voice rises...
