That was awesome!! Along with people like Russ Terrana. Paul Riser has always been one of my Motown heroes. Motown was very much like OZ in my mind as a kid so I spent an amazing amount of time staring at that blue label. Always been very inquisitive so I made it my business to find out who the people were behind the names I kept seeing on the label. Paul Riser's work was/is absolutely stunning.
I wish he would sit down with someone and talk for two hours. I liked this.
And here it is, Stephanie. This was posted on SDF last year by Theboyfromxtown. The video is 2 hrs.:

I tried to find it again but couldn't ....thank goodness you were able to find it.
Well done
I am in MOTOWN heaven watching this! Oh man what an interview......I feel like I am in Studio A. This kids are so lucky! Thank you, thank you! Love the way he breaks it down I feel like John Lester right now. Listening to the masters and the vaults.
Great post, Methusela. I can only add that Paul is one of the nicest guys I was privileged to work with those many years ago. First class talent.
I believe that today, September 11th, is Paul Riser's birthday.
It's a good opportunity for an update on a older thread which I think is worth another look - particularly if anyone here today has yet to view it.
Happy Birthday, Paul!
