Did this series stop with vol.6?
I stopped @ Volume 4. I will purchase ithe rest in due time, there has been a lot of new Motown music in the past two years that I had to have before continuing with this series. Commercially, I believe One Heartbeat was the last huge seller. Though Smokey writing a song about The Chicken Crossing The Road, I would find appealing.
I mentioned this in the thread about Hip-O releases for 2013. These were coming fast for a while, with Volumes 1-3 in 2010, volumes 4-6 in 2011, but then nothing in 2012. Will there be a volume 7 in 2013?
I was looking forward to the rest of that series, including 4 titles I don't have:
Yes It's You Lady
Touch the Sky
Essar
Smoke Signals
Volumes 1-6 were pretty much straight up releases of the LPs, with a couple of bonus tracks [[previously released stuff) in some cases. I would guess that these were much easier to put together than some of the 60s Hip-O releases, which is why they could come so fast, 3 volumes per year. But why did they stop?
I second that motion. Warm Thoughts was where Smokey began to mature as a single artist and the recordings above are among my favorites of his.Quote:
