Tamla/Motown Dance Concert poster

I was looking something up today in the special 4-CD 35th Anniversary Collection of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. It included a reproduction of a poster promoting a concert at the IMA Auditorium in Flint, Michigan on Wednesday, Nov. 22, starting at 9 PM. I just researched and determined that Wednesday, Nov. 22, was in 1961. That is the year Pete Hartfield had his one and only Miracle release.

That surely must have been a wonderful concert. I don't know of any others held at the IMA Auditorium in Flint.

I have sadly been informed that our Vandella Ros Ashford has been admitted into a care facility with advanced dementia. I am sending all my prayers and asking for others for this sweet lady. Met her a couple times when she was on the road with Martha.

Her passing was announced today on her official Facebook page...
