The Temptations I Know I'm Losing You Strange Hidden Vocal

I was listening to my favorite album With A Lot O' Soul with my headphones and on the track I Know I'm Losing You at the beginning when David starts to sing I can hear someone breathing and then whispering in the right channel but I can't make out what is said. I listened to the mono single version and it is not there. I then listened to the Greatest Hits Vol 2 which is in stereo and I can hear it there also. Any idea of what this is or how this is possible?

Four Tops' Soul Spin album

I wonder if this album is the only Motown album which didn't include any singles.

I am not keen on side 2 of the album but I feel side 1 has a couple of strong performances.

Detroit recording labels

Paul Nixon’s query concerning Ric-Tic and Golden World recordings made me check my collection to see what I had. I compared my CD tracks with listings on 45.cat and Discogs and noticed something odd on the latter website.

As well as the Ric-Tic releases, there are two on the MAH’s label. [Mike Alonzo Hanks] both by the Magic Tones, M-1037 and M-1038, which both came out in 1968. I’m not sure why only these two singles are listed under Ric-Tic, other than MAH’s was based in Detroit.

In addition to Ric-Tic and Golden World, did Berry Gordy also acquire MAH’s? Releases after 1968 were on the Westbound Records label.

I know that he also acquired Wingate and J&W Records, as well as Inferno and Impact, but are there others?

Otis Redding Biopic on the way

John Boyega is set to play Otis Redding in a new film telling the story of the soul singer’s decade-long relationship.
Otis & Zelma will see the Star Wars and Attack the Block actor play the tragic star with the Till breakout Danielle Deadwyler playing his wife, Zelma.

The drama will follow the success of Redding, whose career included hits such as [[Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay and These Arms of Mine before his death in a 1967 plane crash at the age of 26.
According to Variety, the official description claims the film “celebrates the 10 short years Otis and Zelma had together, and their eternal love story after his passing”. The film comes with the full support of the estate.
After the singer’s death, his widow opened her own booking business, a record store and a nightclub and never remarried. “Never will,” she said to the New York Times in 2022. “I love being Mrs Otis Redding. I’m the only one.”


This month will also see the singer receive a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Otis & Zelma will be directed by Channing Godfrey Peoples, whose breakout drama Miss Juneteenth premiered to acclaim at the Sundance film festival in 2020............
