IVY JO HUNTER Information - Reposting from Soulful Detroit Forum

[woodward]

A new member lucabella posted this thread on the Soulful Detroit Forum this morning. I think he or she has a sincere interest in Ivy Jo Hunter. I am going to take the liberty of reposting it in the Motown Forum so more Motown fans see it. I am afraid not many will see it posted there. Here it is:

I created am IVY JO HUNTER-YESTERDAYS DREAMS Facebook group. He replies there quite often.

Ivy Jo Hunter, one of the most underrated Motown vocalists IMHO, having listened to his VIP releases and furthermore unreleased material, I for one feel "cheated"that his unreleased album never came to light.....Class Act!

[mysterysinger]

His songwriting and production work marks him out as Motown Royalty.

Thanks Woodward,but they've already beat me to the punch! LOL! If he's on Facebook
[[which I am not), that would be the best, fastest way to contact him.

Ivy Jo, could easily hang with Edwin Starr and Ronnie Isley in terms of vocals.

I'm waiting for his version of TO SEE THE SUN AGAIN to get a release. Better than Chuck Jackson's.

Sincere Thanks for that Marv2, I've been in total awe of Ivy Jo Hunter since hearing a few tracks by him, and TBH have been lucky enough in hearing one or two different takes of a couple of inclusive items in your post.....Would just reiterate what a joy personally it would be to hear those, and more gems in the not too distant future.....Ivy Jo Hunter, absolutely revered by myself, and I'm sure many others.... Absolute Class Act!!!
