Memories of Raynoma Mayberry Liles Gordy Singleton

[woodward]

Today, March 8, 86 years ago, Miss Ray, was born.

Think of some pleasant thoughts of the impact she had on Motown Records.

Woodward thank you:
She made Motown, and here is the "Serenaders" and not just one group or artists that Miss Ray Brought to Motown NYC in 1963 when she left Detroit.

And to top it off, this release [which I like very much] was the first release on the VIP label. It was also included as a "bonus track" on Motown Year by Year 1964. Released in mono only.

At this time Mike Ossman also a Motown "Jobete writer" and working at the NYC offices for Ray would produce demo's for the song's he had written. Mike Ossman was also mentioned a number of times in Raynoma Gordy Singleton's book.
