Ricky was gone after the Carter Barron run, if not after the second show. Damon Harris auditioned between shows during that week. As for Paul Williams, his final show was in Chicago on July 25th. His...

Otis only missed the first two gigs with Ricky. He made it to the Carter Barron dates. Given that Ricky had already loused up two shows prior, Otis was somewhat showing him some slack. The Carter...

On a side note, Otis’s injury would sadly prevent him from appearing for Paul’s final show in Chicago later that Summer.

This will help clarify that! https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ljq7-x4EX/?igsh=ZXNud3RocGF4ZHFv

Attached are the aforementioned photos and a not so positive review of the performance. Paul visibly...

It’s definitely not her. This Oma was white and from Texas

Not only do I believe GC Cameron should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame with the Spinners, but Philippe Wynn should be a two time inductee. When Parliament-Funkadelic was inducted, Wynn was...

Actually, “I Can’t Get Next To You” also topped the hot 100.

Having come from the Vibrations, a group known for exuberant choreography, that wasn’t hardly the case. Ricky Owens was an excellent singer and dancer. The issues he had with the Temptations is that...

At this point, I’m grateful that he had Henry for as long as we did. Given the overwhelming number of legends who didn’t live long enough to collect social security, never mind old age! He even...

He was 85! This is such horrible news because I’ve been a Spinners fan since boyhood. I’m just glad he got to see his HOF induction! RIP Mr. Fambrough, I’m sure, Bobby, Billy, Pervis, Philippe, Thom...

This song!

Aside from the aforementioned one off singles, there were no Holiday- centric projects that were released on PIR. Though several of it’s artists would later do Christmas albums for other labels after...

I’m sure it’s been posted here before, but I can never get tired of this song!

That’s one of the downsides of groups/bands having numerous personnel changes. Even key members tend to get left out when honors like this happen. Especially if they weren’t a part of the “heyday”...

Had the Motown Unreleased series continued into the 70s! We would have eventually gotten all of the tracks from “In This Bag” issued and then we could have made personal playlists with the intended...

Yes! They and the Vandellas struggled to find consistency when HDH left the company! Even though Frank Wilson eventually filled the void, they still never regained the same level of success until...

Well, I might get both copies now!

Maybe if they sell enough of this box set, maybe they’ll be a follow up with those last four albums with some outtakes and bonus tracks from them to boot. I’ll be grabbing a copy for myself. I really...

This is one of my all time favorites by the Dramatics and it was also Lenny Mayes’s favorite recording with the group.

RIP Mrs. Anderson! I’m sorry you and your friends didn’t receive your flowers while you were here and thank you for the great music you and your childhood friends gave us.

This one really sucks! 702 is one of my favorite 90s groups. Sadly, she is the second member to die as her twin sister Orish died in 2008.

He’s probably one of the people who have kept them and many other black artists out of the HOF!

I think it was a matter of timing that prevented Tammi from laying down vocals for ITTS. Around this time, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” had taken off and HDH were constantly busy with the Supremes...

It’s possible that her version might have been wiped by another version, probably by the Supremes. Or the session could have been called off or she recorded another song instead. Anything could be...

I guess the Temptations had a strong regional following before they became hot nationally 3 years later. Which is why they were billed so high.
