I think this photo was in Randy T's first book on Diana Ross.
This company prints fake posters. I've seen one with Ike & Tina [[70s photos) with a
performance date back in 1960!
I also saw one with Loretta Lynn performing in 1953!!!!! She did not start her...
The photo appeared in Randy T's first book on Diana Ross.
If he really said I'll give u 50% it was not serious--could you imagine Smokey or Mickey
or the Gordy family allowing that...I always took it that was a joke--"you name it, I'll

blueskies, I read this thread too early this morning...however, there were photos of
the group, the Dixie Belles, shown as a trio of black girls in the '60s. Those were
the group who toured. ...
The Dixie Belles were just a studio group. When the record hit a trio of girls were put
together to perform as I know they did a Dick Clark tour. But the group performing
was NOT the group of...
Martha talked about some of the 4 Tops being in the studio. I remember her mentioning
Obie. However, I've never heard the song was written or meant for them. I don't
recall Mickey Stevenson...
As I am watching, I am thinking the same as everyone else here...A real
entertainer that can not only sing, but knows how to perform. They
just aren't like this anymore--so much class and style,...
I am so saddened to hear this as he was a dear friend. I thought they were living back
in Calif., but sources say Africa, though which country is not given nor the cause of
his untimely death.
How so exciting! I have the book his son wrote. This movie will be informative, fun,
and exciting.
I have a copy of her contract! It was a standard contract and I believe Motown copied
their contracts after United Artists.
Everyone has their opinion and I believe the idea was to keep Mary hit the top following
My Guy. And, as we all know, this was done with the Supremes--five #1sh in a row!!!
I think Mary would...
HDH actually were doing great things on Mary Wells. Whisper You Love Me Boy was
being seriously considered for single release.
I think she did great! I didn't see it that night because I never heard when she'd be on.
Thanks for posting!!!
Also, her bio is incorrect--He's The One I Love is NOT the Supremes, it's the Andantes.
Also, in the early summer of '64, Barney Ales issued a statement in all the music
trades [[including Billb
oard) that Mary Wells was NOT free to negotiate with other labels. At the
end of the...
Mary Wells left in the summer of '64! Supremes were hitting with
Where Did Our Love Go as Motown was battling in court to keep
Wells.
I do believe the Supremes would have been big even if Mary...
I have no clue, either.
Oldies, thanks for the above tip! Kenny Rossi??? Isn't that the Kennny Rossi who danced
on American Bandstand? He's on the collection; that's why I ask? Anyone?
OK, sorry, I missed a few items above. Gamble IS acknowledged! The product discription
on amazon does not give a track listing as far as I see. The description does , however,
mention, the...
As far as I know, ARCTIC Records were started by Jimmy Bishop, a popular dj and record

national hits. However, the...
This TV special was done about 6mos. after Darlene, Ronnie & Martha performed as
the Legendary Ladies of Rock & Roll in Redondo Beach, CA. on April 2nd, 1983.
This was a HIGHLY successful concert...
Yes, it is Frankie Valli!
I also received the card as it s actually a holiday greeting card. And, yes, as reese points
out, she does mention her middle name in her book.
Did you ever notice that when the record came out, the copy you bought at a record
shop was of better quality than those available after it hit at discount dept. store?
Those copies were cheaper...
