NEW DORSEY BORNETTE CD COMING IN oCTOBER 2024

I tried to include an image of this cd but it wouldn't let me.
The CD Dorsey Burnette Reprise and Motown recordings release date October 16th on the Bear Family label. For full details of track listing etc just visit Bear Family website.
It is something i am really looking forward to and hope others will agree, as we're not getting anything else!

Anyone else a fan of these guys? Expressway To Your Heart was always one of my favorite songs and it always got a lot of radio play here in Philly through the years.

But I can't find much information on these guys. There aren't many clips of them from back in the day and it looks like they only put out one album. I was surprised with having a #4 song on the charts that they didn't have a follow up single until a year later.

Can anyone identify the lead singers? Who is who on the album cover?

I do love their 2nd single, Explosion, even though it's pretty similar to Expressway and also love their cover of Too Many Fish In the Sea.

From the pictures I've seen it looks like they're white and maybe latino guys.

I also know Jerry Blavat had a lot to do with their success.

What a kick this is gonna be, was announced that this tv special will air tonight on YouTube. I remember Martha, Lois and Roz doing Down By The Riverside.

As you may have been reading I have tried to keep you posted on AXS TV's countdown of the Top 200 songs of the 70s. The final two episodes of that will be broadcast tonight, starting at 8:00 Eastern time. They have 20 songs left.

In the meantime, I stumbled across another countdown of theirs that I DVRed and watched today. It was their opinion of the Top 10 Motown stars. As they introduced them, they played snippets of their music. Here is their top 10, in case we want to discuss who should have been higher, who was left out, etc. I have one strong opinion on a placement but let's see what you guys think.

Their top 10 was:

10) Four Tops
9) Martha & the Vandellas
8) Commodores
7) Gladys Knight & the Pips
6) Jackson Five
5) Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
4) Stevie Wonder
3) Marvin Gaye
2) Supremes
1) Temptations

So what do you guys think?

Holy Smokes!!!!
