Robb, you'll forgive me if it takes me more than one day to answer SOME of these. LOL

[robb_k]

11520
I didn't mean to scare everyone away by having so many questions. No need to wait till you've answered ALL of them to post answers. We can answer them ittle by little, with different posters providing the answers.

Where are the Detroit experts? :cool: Come one, come all!

I think the answer to #16 is ... Ollie McLaughlin. [[weren't the labels named after his daughters?)

Roger

[robb_k]

I think the answer to #16 is ... Ollie McLaughlin. [[weren't the labels named after his daughters?)
Roger
11522
Ollie McLaughlin is correct for #16. 2 Down and 41 to go. Karen, Carla and Moira were his daughters, and Ruth was his wife. He also owned a label named after himself: O-Mac.

[roger]

I think all this quiz is telling me is how much of a "Detroit R&B/Soul" expert I am NOT. :)

But I do have another answer ....

11) What Detroit singer recorded for Josie, Miracle,Ric Tic, Soul, Rene and Airwave? ... I think this must be FREDDIE GORMAN .. his Soul recordings being as one of THE ORIGINALS.

25. Steve Mancha [Clyde Wilson] & Wilbur Jackson
11526
144Man - your answer of "Bouncing" Cornell Blakely for 34 is correct, and Clyde Wilson and Wilbur Jackson for 25 is correct.

Your answer for Nr. 14 is INCORRECT.
Your answer for Nr. 21 is partially correct, but, INCOMPLETE.

[theboyfromxtown]

21 Syreeta was a secretary and even Diana Ross said she did some secretarial duties.

[144man]

11526

Your answer for Nr. 21 is partially correct, but, INCOMPLETE.

14. Silly me! Harvey Fuqua & Gwen Gordy

[robb_k]

11530
So, currently, we have #3, 4, 11, 16, 25 and 34 answered completely, and 21 needs some addition.

Good job so far. BUT... ALL the correct answers [[or ALL answers, for that matter... have come from Brits! Not only have we had no DETROITERS answer, but not even any Americans! This is highly embarrassing! We could have held this on Soul-Source Forum, and had most of these answered already! ;)

In 2002, we could have had Ron Murphy, Cub Koda, The Count, Stu Bass, Mike McLean, Ralph, and a bunch of Detroit record collectors answering all of these the first US day.

[robb_k]

Silly me! Harvey Fuqua & Gwen Gordy
11528


I'm sorry. I got confused about which question you were trying to answer. My clue was totally incorrect.

[144man]

21. Martha Reeves backed J.J. Barnes, and was a member of the Del-Phis, the Vells and Martha & Vandellas.

[robb_k]

21. Martha Reeves backed J.J. Barnes, and was a member of the Del-Phis, the Vells and Martha & Vandellas.
11532
Very true. But, Martha Reeves is NOT the only one who fits my description.

[robb_k]

21 Syreeta was a secretary and even Diana Ross said she did some secretarial duties.
11531
Very interesting information! But what has all this got to do with my Quiz's #21?

[144man]

15. Harvey Fuqua, Roquel "Billy" Davis, Gwen Gordy, Anna Gordy.

Hi Roger. You are CORRECT for #42 !

[144man]

11533
Hi 144. You are way off here. Harvey and Gwen are not correct. And Anna and Roquel Davis are also not correct. None of the four had ANYTHING to do with the labels listed on # 14.

I'm sorry. I got confused about which question you were trying to answer. My clue was totally incorrect.

My quiz is so large that even I can't keep track of the numbers! :confused:

I'm trying to answer 15, but pressed the wrong key when I first answered.

[roger]

Yippee ... I'm on a roll ....

38) Who recorded for R.E.M., Oncore, Velgo, Laureen, Josie, Motown, and Casablanca Records? .. I hadn't realised she recorded for Motown but this must be Gwen Owens,

Roger

[robb_k]

I'm trying to answer 15, but pressed the wrong key when I first answered.
11538
Okay then, try again. One of your responses had 2 of the 3 owners. Another had one right and one who was NOT one of the owners. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

38) Who recorded for R.E.M., Oncore, Velgo, Laureen, Josie, Motown, and Casablanca Records? .. I hadn't realised she recorded for Motown but this must be Gwen Owens,
Roger
11536
You are correct, Roger!

She recorded for Motown in 1972, [[I believe in Muscle Shoals), but there were problems with the contract, so nothing was released.

[robb_k]

15. Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy [Hardye], who sold it to Berry Gordy.
11537
Yes, you are correct. Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy were the only 2 owners. I got screwed up with my Quiz numbers. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Good enough. But what Detroit Soul music producer funded his productions with money he made working at The US Postal Service?

[robb_k]

15. Harvey Fuqua, Roquel "Billy" Davis, Gwen Gordy, Anna Gordy.
11542
Incorrect. Two too many. I think you are thinking of Anna Records, and, I don't think Harvey was an owner.

[theboyfromxtown]

11541
30 is CORRECT! 29 is only 1/3 correct.

Robert and Hazel Coleman

[robb_k]

Nothing....I saw 21 Martha Reeves and didn't scoll back to check the question.

35 Martha Reeves, Rita Wright Diana Ross and Gwen Owens all worked as secretaries at Motown
11543

[robb_k]

36 joe stubbs
falcons/contours
11544
Exactly CORRECT!

[robb_k]

Good enough list to get most. But, who had that position before Mike McLean, and still was doing it part-time after Mike was there for a while?

[robb_k]

40 Andre Williams
11548
Close, but no cigar! Andre Williams produced The Creations, but NOT The Charters.

[robb_k]

44 Lamont Dozier
11549
#44 is CORRECT!

[robb_k]

Robert and Hazel Coleman
11550
CORRECT! #29 is now complete!

Ivy Jo Hunter
Ty Hunter
Don Hunter
Joe Hunter
11552
Good answer.
There's one more Detroit Soul Hunter, who was the lead singer of two 1960s Soul groups.

Clue: He was Ty Hunter's brother, and was the lead singer of two reasonably well-known Detroit Soul groups covering both the early and late '60s.

[144man]

35. If my memory is right, Fern Bledsoe of the Aprils and the Fascinations was a Motown secretary.

[robb_k]

35. If my memory is right, Fern Bledsoe of the Aprils and the Fascinations was a Motown secretary.
11554
We still need probably Motown's earliest receptionist, and Correc-Tone's as well.

[144man]

35. How about Mable John?

[robb_k]

35. How about Mable John?
11556
I hadn't heard that Mable worked as a secretary or receptionist at Motown.
The receptionist at Correc-Tone was one of their singing artists. And the early Motown receptionist was a songwriter at Motown, and also at Correc-Tone [[under an alias, while working for Motown).

[theboyfromxtown]

Janie Bradford typed up the Miracles contract.

[marv2]

11537
Yes, you are correct. Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy were the only 2 owners. I got screwed up with my Quiz numbers. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I knew that one, hehehhehehehehehehehe......................

Robb, the O'Jays were from Canton, Ohio.

[robb_k]

Robb, the O'Jays were from Canton, Ohio.11564
Sorry. I should have said first recording city. I meant that all the artists in that question were Cleveland[[rather than Cincinnati or Columbus) singing artists, as opposed to Detroit artists. I couldn't just use "Ohio", as I had a similar question lumping the Cincinnati artists who later became "Detroit artists".

I understand. It's like, we had always considered Bootsy Collins as a Detroit Artist [[but he was from Cincinnati) as well as George Clinton [[who was actually from New Jersey).

[robb_k]

Janie Bradford typed up the Miracles contract.
11565
Yes, Janie Bradford was Motown's first secretary/receptionist, as far as I know.

Sorry I missed this in my answers. But, I was over 3 hours posting the answers, and, I think you posted this answer after I started typing the answers post, but before I finished.

Robb, Melvin Franklin was born David English, though Melvin I'm told was indeed his middle name. Otherwise,though I'd been stumped by most of the questions you asked on this thread I was glad you posted it. I didn't know how much I didn't know about the Detroit
music scene until you did. LOL!!!!....

Yes Robb a New Yorker, but always will be a Detroiter / Toledoian. This thread is a Gold Star thread in my opinion in that there is so much to learn from it.

I was about to say, I always knew Melvin's birth name was David English but then thought he may have used Alvin English for writing purposes just as he used Melvin Franklin for performing purposes. It would be interesting as well to have a thread to show the many family relationships that were at Motown. Melvin and Rick James were related for instance.

[marv2]

11556
I hadn't heard that Mable worked as a secretary or receptionist at Motown.
The receptionist at Correc-Tone was one of their singing artists. And the early Motown receptionist was a songwriter at Motown, and also at Correc-Tone [[under an alias, while working for Motown).

Mable John never worked as a secretary for Motown. Martha Reeves did and according to Diane Ross, she did as well.

11567
Sorry. Of course DAVID English was his birth name. I can't believe I listed "Alvin" English. I never heard of an Alvin English. I'm getting more senile by the moment. But, I see that trying to pull off a quiz of 45 questions, with most of them requiring several answer components is ridiculously difficult to keep track. I'd better keep it down to 5 at a time from now on.

Robb k, shut your mouth!...5 at a time...sheesh!...You erred in a valiant attempt to get folks
back to talking about what many seemed to have forgotten how to do...the history of all of this great music. I was learning even when I was replying. With the scope of what you provided, you're allowed a few mistakes. I can't think of anyone else here who could even have put together a quiz like that...Cheers...

[robb_k]

11568
I tried to bring back the type of participation we had on these quizzes in 2003. But, sadly, several of the Detroit music experts we had here back then, are no longer with us [[some deceased[[Ron Murphy), others too busy with other things).

Good point. As far as I know, she wasn't a singer. So, I should have said "recording artists and production staff".

Sorry.

Here are another few question questions:

46) Who was Dino Courray
. For whom did he work, and when?
47) What was Johnny West's birth name?
48) Who owned Exit Records?

49) What major labels picked up Solid Hitbound Productions?
50) Who recorded for Oncore, SVR and Hanna Barbera
