Hello Dennis...isn't Morey Baker's now called The Locker Room? Livernois just north of Curtis.
You're right Robb...it was Dave Debusschere. Most people don't remember his years with the White Sox. He was an all-american basketballer at the University of Detroit and before that, an all ...
His Royal Badness. RIH my brother, you were a once in a lifetime talent.
I saw it at the Fox Theater in Detroit and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend it.
Thanks for that clip theboyfromxtown. Never saw it even though I've been a Tempaholic since I was 12. Thank you too, Marv.
Agreed, Marv. When his game was right, he was a beast. If he would have had the benefit of a college career, we would be talking an all time great. He learned many bad habits in Philly that...
He played his last 2 seasons with the Pistons but he was way past his prime by then. I never understood how a guy who was strong enough to shatter backboards only averaged 6 rebounds a game. Still,...
Agreed, Ken. Ortheia and Mildred were incredible together. They used to appear with their band every Friday night at Edison Plaza in the late 70s/early 80s. It was the hottest after work spot in...
Swingin' Time was not on the air in 1963.
First thing I noticed.
Agreed. The guys who played Paul and Eddie were both too short. But both of them were decent actors; I guess that's good enough. I love Pittsburgh, so even though I am a Detroiter, I don't have a...
I don't remember the set lists for the State Fair show [[I was only 13), but it's reasonable to assume The Tempts, Tammi and Martha & the Vandellas all performed their major hits. I remember the crowd...
My next door neighbor and I caught the bus to the Michigan State Fair in '66 to see them. Martha & the Vandellas and Tammi Terrell were on the show too. Technically the last time I saw the classic...
Nice summary Sotosound. Here is the thread I was talking about.

I remember this topic being discussed in depth several years ago on the old forum. Very interesting and informative thread as I recall. It's probably still in the archives.
Re: the whereabouts of old video footage from Swingin' Time...most of the footage was never saved in the first place, the tapes were re-used and the performances were taped over. That's why what...
I was shocked to hear this, he's been one of my favorites since high school. R.I.P. Joe
I'm sorry to hear of this. Frances Nero was a regular at the get-togethers the Detroit SDF crew used to have. She was always very pleasant and informative. Nice lady with a lot of talent.
Philles/Motown Gary...The Motown Museum is very much alive and well. Still one of the top tourist destinations in the city.
Doris Holland was a gem. Way back in the early 80s, long before Hitsville became a museum, I went down there one day and just knocked on the door to see if anyone was home. Mrs. Holland let me in...
Read my previous post. I live in this community every day. I still feel sorrow for both the Wafer and McBride families.
This story has been front page news in Detroit for months. Wafer's guilt was never in question, but he certainly would have obtained a better outcome if he had hired a better attorney. He would still...
Chubby is a legend in his own right, but he doesn't belong in the RRHOF except maybe as a legacy act. Too many others who are more notable than he is still aren't in there.
Jeanie...I still have the pictures we took at Jimmy's Detroit concerts at the DIA Auditorium and the Wright Museum, those were good times. He had so much talent and he was such a classy gentleman....
Very sad incident all around. If this guy felt that he and/or his home and family were being threatened by this young lady, he should not have opened the door. He should have kept his shotgun handy...
