This must mean that the "Detroit" show hasn`t been lost - wonderful news.

[westgrandboulevard]

Great to see this. Always liked the song.

What a mesmerising image. If Chris had fallen off that roof, there still wouldn't have been a hair out of place on that helmet....LOL

Detroit show? Any idea who else may have performed?

I bet it was all roughed up in the car on the drive back home though! LOL

Ross, it was Marvin Gaye, Chris Clark and Martha & the Vandellas.I think that the only track we haven`t seen is "Dancing In The Street".

[theboyfromxtown]

There's a clip of DITS in a retrospective film that I've recently seen. Their outfits were the same as in one of their other songs...but I don't remember which ones now.

[midnight johnny]

I don't really think there was a "Detroit show", per se. "Where The Action Is" typically only had 2 guests on each half hour show....each doing 2 songs. There is also the Four Tops at the Roostertail doing "Something About You."

[theboyfromxtown]

There's a great remix of "Something About You" with that clip John....do you know it! LOLOL

Johnny on the show of 10th Aug. 1966. Dick announces that tomorrow we salute the great sounds of Detroit.It will be an all Detroit day.

[Roger Polhill]

Sorry! Willie Tyler and Lester were also on the show.

[theboyfromxtown]

Sorry! Willie Tyler and Lester were also on the show.

How could you forget my namesake!

lol

[Roger Polhill]

I`m always apologising, sorry John. I see that Chris Clark performed "Love`s Gone Bad" on show of 27th. July 1966. I hope that this clip will turn up soon.

[reese]

A few nights ago, I was watching a late night infomercial for a new soul collection from Time Life. In it, they showed a clip of the Spinners singing I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. It was very brief, but I could tell it was filmed outside the Roostertail. Perhaps it was from this episode as well.

[Roger Polhill]

Reese, the Spinners also performed "Truly Your`s" on the same show and it was from 26th. July 1966. So hopefully this and the full track will be available soon.

Thanks boyfromxtown -- The Four Tops "Something About You" -- God, I love that record! The bells [[vibes?) and the baritone sax are the essence of The Motown Sound. Should have been a huge hit on the charts as well as on the dance floor.

Thank you, John, for sharing this ultra-rare Chris Clark video. It's the first time I've ever seen her in action. I'm not crazy about the song [[too early-Motown cha-cha beat-ish for my taste), but it's historically satisfying nonetheless. Wouldn't it be cool to see Chris lip-syncing "I Want To Go Back There Again" or "Whisper You Love Me Boy"!

[motony]

I always thought "Do Right Baby, Do Right" was the A side. I didn't know nothing about Chris Clark when I bought that 45, I know it was before Loves Gone Bad.
