I have everything available and oop by Big Al. Big fan here.
I have not listened to this album in ages. Just now I was playing it and the vocal sounded like Big Al Downing. Googling tells me that they were brothers! Go figure!

One of my favorite LIVE albums, is Three Dog Night, Live At The Forum. The band was GREAT! RIP...
Dave, thanx for asking. She has almost finished a new album with Steve Jordan again producing and drumming. It will be on Steve & his wife, Meegan Voss' record label, Jay-Vee records. We are...
Fabulous singer AND one of the very best dressed men in the business. He & George Benson were ALWAYS too sharp!
David Cole's In The Basement was hands down THE best soul magazine ever published, bar none! RIP to a great magazine, just one more victim of the internet.

Being that this is Soulful DETROIT, and no one has mentioned her, Bettye LaVette is going to be 77 years old, and is still making records that matter. She has had 5 of her 21st Century albums...
Ralph, I think that by you wanting people to run the post by you instead of posting directly may be impeding this thread. Let people post what they think is worthy. It's not like members have never...
I have not been ousted from anywhere. I merely had a kerfuffle with a moderator of a Detroit Soul Facebook page.
First, I just said they were in discussions, not that Shanachie passed. And why would you say I haven't seen the film. I posted some stories from people who were there before this new film came out....
I'm not sayin don't see the film...I'm just sayin.

A black man is cheating every single black artist involved!
They haven’t paid anyone either. How dare...
After reading Joe Lauro's story, read this one https://gregmitchell.substack.com/p/was-summer-of-soul-footage-really?fbclid=IwAR0WcrM2kuzE5V67g8bJ538P0krI1wxLqQNRW6KjyfyUoYhaGdiFqYdDIxw
I thought I'd share this post from Joe Lauro on FB. Joe is the owner of Historic Films, and this tells a very different story than the press has set out. I will add some follow up articles.
Joe...
I don't come around much anymore, but I'm very saddened to drop in and hear that Marv died. I thought he was feisty and opinionated and stuck by his guns, and I like that in a person. RIP
Wow! Great footage.

Does anyone have any info on the players or producer of Sir Mack Rice – I Made Music album on Spector records Intl. from 1977? It's pretty funky and I am curious as to who was involved. Thanx in...
