A Matter of Life and Death

END OF TOUR

The music of sixties Detroit has touched many people in the United Kingdom, and indeed across the world.

Kim and Phil Dick from England, for example, were married at Hitsville on 25th April 1997. The local media were there  and the wedding went out live on channel 7. Martha Reeves was in attendance too, and even caught the bride's bouquet. A special moment for them both.

A couple of years later they would name their first daughter Tamla.

In death too, the music plays a part. After the funeral of David Buttle in November 1998, a wake was held in the Soul Cellar Club in Barnsley, England.

It was a wake with a difference, however, as his friends and relatives danced the night away to his favourite 45's. He was known to his many friends as The Mighty Bub - and he went out in style.
