I was reading where a local Detroit TV show Kelly and Company, during the Ian Levine era, had shows in which Martha & the Vandellas, Marvelettes, and Contours appeared on. It was also reported that the Elgins and Mary Wells also appeared on it.

Perhaps Marv can dig up a YouTube of some of these. He is an expert at finding things on YouTube and he probably recalls the TV show.

Help us out, Marv. Thanks.

Remember that John Kelly started off on WJBK Channel 2 like in the late sixties and Marilyn was on WXYZ Channel 7 before they got married.

Marv, Detroit had the best media in the country!!!! That whole channel 7 news team had more class than any news team in the US! But really all the stations were great. Glad I had the opportunity to grow up in Detroit! Those summer nights shooting pool on 8 Mile with the doors open are fond memories!

Sadly, that is in the far away past. Our collective good memories of Detroit. Remember going over to Bob-Lo Island in the summer? How about River Rouge Park?

I know you are right about having the best media. When went away to school in Denver, just about everything in media sucked. Their local television, radio stations and newspapers could not come close to Detroit's.
