Our very first session for Stoney and Meatloaf using the Funk Brothers, Mike brought with him, into the studio, a bag of painting supplies he needed for the house he had just bought. One of the...

Once again, Thank you Mysterey.

What is interesting, Graham is, when I listen to our productions, I can hear Mike all over it.
Mike would call me from time to time When I was in California and he was in New Mexico. About three...

Graham, Iḿ sorry to say I have no other pics of Mike. Why I Didn´t take photos of us puzzles me. Like you, I am happy to have the picture of Mike Mystery Singer posted.

Great shot of Mike. Thank you for posting. Although I spent, along with my brother Russ, A billion hours in the studio together. I have no pictures of that time. Our production name was Terrana,...

I hope the girls get more attention to promotion than I got with the Stoney and Meatloaf project.

Here is a video Russ and I did as a tribute to Norman after he had passed.

Mary, I opted to move the thread to the Soulful Detroit room. It seemed better there.

For sure, Tony. And Big Mama Thornton was so correctly mentioned.

What isn´t mentioned is under De Passes´ tenure the L.A. operation never matched the output of Detroit. No new acts were brought forth successfully to add to the roster created in Detroit. Sure, it...

I received this from Raynard's daughter....


I saw the post regarding Raynard Miner and I can confirm my father passed away 4/4/2024. Thank you

We recorded this video some years back when I still lived in California. For all you arm chair mixers, pay attention to the Master. My brother Russ.

In the summer of 63 I was playing, with The Sunliners, at the Peppermint Lounge in New York. For a while we dealt with a kid that was under age,always trying to sneak in to see the band. Nice kid,...

Just because someone is a so called star, doesn't mean they have that kind of money to purchase their own coveted star. Not all are rich. I'm sure the major labels, including,Universal Motown, can...

I wish Motown would pony up the money for the fee. After all, it shines a bright light on the company , having produced the stars involved.

And further more.....I like Usher. He definitely is more Old School than most of his contemporaries. I would like to see him on the Super Bowl stage with a kick-ass band , and good back up singers....

Next year's Super Bowl.....The Lions and the Chiefs. Any doubters?

Thank you, Sans, for accepting my rant.

I've got no beef with Usher or Hip Hop if done well. What I generally see from some of the acts is poor arranging. So many times {and it happened last night} a song will just end abruptly. I'm an old...
