I was hoping to see Lamont last Friday, promoting this album, but he cancelled his tour. It is due to take place next February.
The reason given was illness... Weeks ago in fact.
To be honest, the album project is not for me but I will go to see him anyway.
A lot of UK fans are disappointed about this..they want to pay tribute to the great man, but would like to hear his Invictus/ABC/WB material. Rehashing old hits will not work for many.
But...it's Lamont Dozier and this may be the only chance to see him live.
I know exactly how they feel. I always liked his solo material from the 70s, "Trying to Hold On", "Fish Ain't Bitin'", "Going Back to My Roots", etc ,etc but at that time I don't recall him touring in the mid 70s. I only got to see Lamont once at some social gathering in Detroit back in the late 80s.
I met his [[first?) wife at Hitsville... She was working there at the time.
Thanks marv, an interesting, and actually very positive review. I haven't been totally sold on the idea of the album but I do intend to check it out. This guy really seems to like it, but apparently he had a dislike for Motown and hated the original version of "Where Did Our Love Go", so that renders his opinion totally valueless. :p
