Motortown revue fox question

[woodward]

In the current Michigan Chronicle, there was a story about 'Motown the Musical' ... and Motown the icon. It featured a picture of the Fox Theater in Detroit marquee which read as follows:

MOTORTOWN REVUE
On Stage In Person

Marvin Gaye Miracles
Supremes Stevie Wondere
Marvelettes Temptations
Headliners Tommy Good
Willie Tyler & Lester Bill Murry
On Screen: Rage of Buccaneer

I did not know that the Headliners and Tommy Good were ever part of the Motortown Revue. Does anyone know what year that show may have been put on?

Was anyone else aware that these two acts appeared in Motortown Revues?

I think it was 1964.

BTW: A photo of the same marquee appears on the last Motortown Revue Live album, even though this album was released years after.

Silly question:

Are "the Headliners" a group, or is the word "Headliners" used as an adjective?

Here's the album cover:

I think based on the placement of the word, The Headliners must have been a Motown group but I don't know for sure.

The Headliners were in fact one of the very first white bands to ever sign to Motown.

I think Tommy Good & The Headliners only appeared on the Motortown Revue when it played the Fox in Detroit & that was usually around Christmas time.
