Just wanted to thank you and MaryMary for the book recomendation.....I agree with your rating and the Otis POV.

When I took it back, I picked up the Phillip Bailey book. It was a quick read, even for a word for word slow reader like myself. I never got around to re-reading the Wax Poetics story on EWF a few years ago to compare notes. Phillip shared quite a few insights, especially on the early germinaton of the group and his entry. Not really big on controversy and he sort of eased past what I felt were a few controversial points such as moments leadng up to the dissolution of the group and the period that immediately followed.

i dont know if this book motown hot wax city cool and solid gold, by j.randy taraborelli is on the list if it is not it is an excellent account of each artist history highly recommended written and published in 1986 doubleday books. The pics and stories are worth its weight in gold. Ralph I did not know u were related to, russ terrena at motown. Wooow u must have stories to tell about the studio goings on hhhheeeee hehehehe lol nice to know.

Any opinions on Mark Ribowsky's book, Signed Sealed and Delivered-The Soulful Journey Of Stevie Wonder? There seem to be lots of unreleased songs..and probably a lot have been lost/stolen.
