Lame excuses. There are people who don't own CDs by Diana Ross & the Supremes and they never will. They don't care. How long have fans been telling themselves if I spend $15.00 for another Supremes...
Spoken like a true Motown fan who has faithfully supported Motown releases since 1961. If I bought the original vinyl singles, then the LP versions, then the cassettes and the reissued singles and...

If you think the suits at Universal aren't laughing at how many times they resell Baby Love, you are kidding yourself. Hip O is a big company, it can take a few shots about it's uninspired CD...

692 cable channels and still nothing is on!
I assume from the posts on the forum, the Kent/Motown CD releases did fairly well, so I'm wondering what's next? And what ever happened to that Detroit Soul compilation that was promised?
I remember Keep It Confidential, I Sweat and Why Should I Cry. I had the vinyl LP but I don't remember it.

Mrs. Edwards was a very nice lady. She'd always take time to speak with die-hard Motown fans who visited Hitsville before it was an official museum. I remember her smiling during a fan...
I don't remember that Nona Hendryx LP at all. I had it on vinyl, but can't recall anything about it. Why are these record labels releasing so many "left field titles?" Soulmusic.com has reissued some...
Just sounds like more reruns to me. The Richard Pryor movies, especially The Wiz, already air regularly on cable: ditto for Soul Train. I hate movies that have been edited for commercial television.
I thought Luke's post was funny too and so close to the truth. This is not a Diana Ross & Supremes fanclub, so griping and cynical, snarky comments are allowed and a way of letting off steam when Hip...
It is indeed an old urban legend or a Jackson family mystery. Remember when Janet joined the cast of Fame and only remained on the show a short time? She supposedlyy left because she was allegedly...
I am a Mary Wells fan, hence the forum name. I liked the Unsung show though there were errors and things left out. I liked what Brenda Holloway said about Mary being "more than a vocalist," but "an...
Damn, right. He couldn't hide it. But good to know he's come out.
BLESS HIS HEART. Rahsaan's spinning.... though he & Tevin have a lot in common. "Never friends"...Uh huh!
Tevin Campbell was working on Broadway in Hairspray...but I don't know if that's still true....
What, no guest appearance from Tevin Campbell?
Reprtedly director Clint Eastwood wanted to cast Diana Ross as the draq queen character, Lady Chabliss, in Midnight in the Garden Of Good & Evil. He held the part for her and she turned him down. The...
I agree, I had all of those mid Seventies Aretha albums and although I didn't like everything 100 percent, thee were some good tracks on each. I especially liked With Everything I Feel In Me. I...
I had purchased many of Junior Walker's Seventies Motown albums as cut-outs. I played most of them once and put them away in storage.
Most of the Motown Monday shows at the Roostertail Upper Deck were taped and aired on Detroit radio the following weekend. I forget which station, either WKNR or WXYZ.
How about releasing Junior's...
I agree. I didn't read anything that Berry Gordy Jjr. has not said before about WGO and being concerned about Marvin Gaye's image. The man was consistent with how he felt and has said all along. What...
Ii think it is selling out or Kent did not anticipate there would be as much interest or demand for this set as it now shows. I've still not gotten my copy yet, which I assume is being ordered by my...
A Mary Wells Unsung episode is good news. It's about time. I just hope Universal takes advantage of it and has her Motown albums set for release to coincide with this.
I was saddened by the news of his passing. I actually got to see Clarence Clemons perform with Bruce Springsteen several times when I was reviewing concerts. The most memorable time was the summer of...
I think it's more of ACE/Kent getting its distributor to send out copies to all of the retailers. I've noticed some retailers have had problems getting the Monitors' disc and Patrice Holloway's disc....
