Wowed. Mmm the spinners first ever film we've seen from the 60s, although there's only 4 of em on the first cli

[snakepit]

Many thanks for this post...some real favourites here

Great to See Billy Butler, Eddie Holman, Maxine Brown, and Derek Martin...wow

and Tina Turner before she was "Tina Turner"

LOLOL

George Edwards is behind Henry. I've seen the whole clip and I can assure you that there are 5. This clip of Truly Yours is my all time favourite clip. Bobby sings from a letter with the guys around him. I was almost in tears when I saw it.

[soulwally]

Oops. My laptop's knackered at the moment so I watched on my titchy phone screen, didn't spot a missing spinner

[JohnnyRavenATL]

Love it! Always love to see rare clips of Martha and the Vandellas, Brenda and Kim, but the real gem here is getting to see the legendary "Gail from Baltimore" in action with the Velvelettes.

[sansradio]

Finally got a chance to watch this...what gems! Thanks for posting.

Johnny....she might not be from Baltimore after all....LOLOL The contract of this performance was sent to an address in PIttsburg to Gail Sonders

Man!!!
This is awesome. We finally have a last name for this former mystery lady! Excellent sleuthing sir!

[JohnnyRavenATL]

I see that Gail was still alive as of 2013, but has changed her name to Floreece Davis.

How did you find out that she changed her name?

[JohnnyRavenATL]

I googled Gail Sonders, and a link took me to the
http://jazzburgher.ning.com

She had left a comment on a posting and she aluded to the fact that she was formerly known as Gail Sonders.

Never heard [[or heard of) Billy Joe Royal's "Heart's Desire" before but from the little bit of it included on the Soul Video Excerpts, it sounds like a winner. Thanks to Soulpassion for sharing.

TBFX, I think you mean Chico Edwards, who replaced George Dixon around 1962

[soulwally]

I've now had the starting handle [[ie ethernet cable) to my laptop and have just watched this on the bigger screen. I won't be the only amazed watcher to believe I would never see some of the clips, let alone know they even existed

[sansradio]

Exactly, soulwally! For example, I had never seen Patti Drew in action. I'm trying to figure out who she reminds me of.

But what a fabulous version of a great song. I had to download it immediately!

She looks a bit like Angie Bofill to me.

[sansradio]

^Hmmm...maybe squinting. LOL! No, really, maybe it's somebody I know personally that I'm thinking of. And yes, soulwally, hers is THE version.

[Methuselah2]
