I don't know why this disc didn't get much attention on the forum.
It's not like Ian Levine's stuff at all.
I might not have paid it much attention had I not heard one of the tracks.
Apparently, L.J. Reynolds has a break-out hit with his remake of Marvin Gaye's Come Get To This from this disc being released on April 5.
WDIA here in Memphis has been playing it and getting lots of good response. I like what Reynolds has done with the tune, updated the melody and added a steppers' groove. L.J. and the Dramatics have lots of fans on the forum so they might want to check this out.

Woodward, go to Amazon.com. Type in "Motor City Hits" as your search phrase. It should come up under music.
