Upcoming Martha Reeves Fundraiser in Plymouth, Michigan

I’m not so sure a public company like Universal can cough $25000 to any artist who really has no upside left for the company or shareholders; it sets a precedent as well.

Maybe contact could be made to one of her well heeled colleagues who could help quietly.

I said this was embarrassing but it is more sad than embarrassing.

Who the heck would want this kind of appeal going to the public. Frankly it isn’t that much money and the fact no one has it is awful to publicly expose like this - it’s frickin awful. I don’t understand why this is being done to her.

I was just giving a quick example. I wouldn't expect UMG to step up for that either. My point was that it shouldn't be the fans who are expected to give money for this, when many of us already contributed to secure her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

No celebrity pays for the star. Usually a fan club does it. Katt Williams paid for Melba Moore’s star.
