I remember seeing this promo clip for "7 Rooms Of Gloom" on The Four Tops' Reach Out-Definitive Performances DVD from 2008. It's still fun to watch.

No word about a Vol. 3 of The Sound of Philadelphia International as yet.

I hear 'ya Dave! And if any one of us from this forum was on that show, we would've got that answer right.

Thanks for sharing the link to the Prince Fan Forum. And I agree with you that there's a lot of 'drama' between various folks who post on that site [LOL].

Coincidentally, the first album I purchased by Prince was Dirty Mind. While I enjoyed the combination of Funk, New Wave Rock and X-Rated lyrics on that album [and the follow up, Controversy], he...

My favorite Prince era was the mid '80s with 1999, Purple Rain, Parade & Sign O' The Times. I even loved the non LP B-sides from this period as well [including "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore",...

Wonderful News! Thanks for sharing Marybrewster!

My favorite by Marvin & Tammi is You're All I Need thanks to "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing", "You Ain't Living Until You're Loving" and of course "You're All I Need To Get By".
