A classic picture.

Great shot Jobeterob! Thanks.

[Mark Desjardines]

A wonderful photo for sure, jobeterob. Hope you don't mind if I worked on it a little to improve the dark tones.

Love how I seem to see Flo holding Mary and Mary holding Diana. Who else is in this picture besides Smokey?

[reese]

Berry is next to Diana. Smokey is holding Rosalind and Annette of the Vandellas. Flo has her hands on Mary Wells' shoulder. Sammy Ward is next to Flo. I think there are some Contours in the back.

Is that Lamont Dozier just to the right of Berry's head?

[jobeterob]

It must have been one of the few times that Berry wasn't working so hard that he got "chubby cheeks".

[soulwally]

Berry's on the picture?

[jobeterob]

It was suggested he is next to Diana; maybe that is not him??

[soulwally]

Doesn't look like him to me, much too heavy.

[Roger Polhill]

Is that Norman Whitfield behind Roz?

[jobeterob]

Upon looking closer, I don't think that is Berry either; he is too heavy. And I think I see Lamont Dozier off the shoulder of the person we thought was Berry.

[Roger Polhill]

The "Berry Gordy" looks more like Freddie King. Could it be "Popcorn" Wylie?

[rrussi]

I think it is Berry Gordy to the right of Diana Ross as I have seen another shot taken at this time with Berry greeting Mary Wells who was just arriving and therefore is not in the more famous shot taken in the recording studio before the group moved outside to start boarding the bus. But I am not for certain.

I thought there would be a whole mess of pictures to look at [[lol).

[jobeterob]

There might be but I only saw this one unique one.
