Yep, an old story

Let’s face it Gladys could sing anything. I’ve always loved the Pips’ unmistakable vocal blend. Yes, Art was out of his comfort zone at the end

So is the book better or worse at behind the scenes stuff at Motown in the 60s than the Hollands' or Lamont Dozier's book?

What's more their Atlantic hit I'll Be Around is also in my all-time top ten, of course another Smith lead

And mine….

I’m intrigued…. But it won’t let me access the website in the UK. Can anyone copy and paste the story?

Good wrap-up of the Spinners' story. However nowhere does it mention Bobby Smith being lead singer, certainly throughout the 60s, then sharing duties with Wynne and Edwards later

YESSS!! It’s fab. Sound quality amazing and not the same old same old in track selection. Well worth having

Dodgy acronym too!!!!!!!!

She sure is you can clearly hear her

They back him on You, too

His graciousness, modesty and amiability were plain to see in the SITSOM film. What a musician to have in that marvellous Motown mix. RIP Joe.

A track from the Jimmy Ruffin Anthology, I Know How To Love Her, has the same backing track as the Tempts' Too Busy Thinking About My Baby, but with the same lyrics as the Tempts' No Man Can Love Her...

Yep and they were on his debut solo album My Whole World Ended, particularly so on the title track first single from it

The Originals are unmistakable on many many tracks. It’s oft mentioned they were on Jimmy Ruffin’s Brokenhearted but seemed to be used more prolificly from 1967 on, particularly lend an ear to tracks...

Er, that's a No from me

Interesting that Keith. I've seen the picture loads of times and it's only this time I thought: "That's not Ashford on vibes!!" Thanks for the full info

Terry on lead. Not too sure about the song though

Not sure Pops sounds like Joe Harris from the UD

Shoulda just rewarded the loyal Terry Weeks with the lead spot and tried to find a Paul Williams-a-like

I think with Mario not on that promo pic he’s gone thru that revolving door, never to return. Just give Terry that main lead spot, he sure can sing

No it’s definitely Gladys and the Pips

I've had a listen to the Soul S 35066 version. My maxi single version has the opening 'Ooo wee... [[presumably CP) mixed way in the background. I've also listened to the stereo version on the Very...

The Originals' fabulous ballad has been a long-time favourite. I has their Green Grow The Lilacs album in stereo, and spent years listening to that version. Subsequently I bought several CDs with the...
