    My first Supremes' LP was "New Ways But Love Stays", and so I wanted to buy the earlier one, "Right On". At that time, I had not heard 'Up the ladder to the roof' nor anything else by the Supremes....

    Last week, celebrating Valerie Simpson's birthday, a very well known veteran DJ [[not Tony Blackburn nor Paul Brown) said that she had written "Reachout I'll be there" for the 4 Tops....

    Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.

    Many years ago, Harry Weinger and I talked about Syreeta - as we both have very similar views. We both thought Syreeta was incredibly beautiful - and...

    I've had the pleasure of seeing Martha perform this - and I was thrilled.

    Of all the many, many tracks she has recorded this is by far my favourite.

    This rather expensive CD is a bootleg and not a legitimate release.

    When you listen to it, particularly disc 2, you can tell that it's simply a vinyl record copied onto a CD. There are many...

    No, I think it's BJ Arnau.

    I much prefer Thelma's version to this one.

    Interestingly, I didn't know until today, that Jonathan King produced the BJ Arnau version.

    This is completely untrue - there has been a huge amount of publicity and marketing for the Diana Ross release. It was heavily sponsored on Amazon, with the price being only £5.99 for some time;...

    Regrettables:
    [[1) Baby love
    [[2) I hear a symphony
    [[3) Children's christmas song.

    Forgettables:
    Back in my arms again
    I guess I'll miss the man
    Love is here and now you're gone

    That's a great story - and I smiled all the way through - you had some courage to go up and sing, let alone "out" yourself with the help of the DJ.

    That's perhaps true - and maybe start issuing [[similarly to the Eddie Kendricks, Marvelettes, David Ruffin sets - or Thelma Houston style of release) other works by Teena Marie, Syreeta, Jermaine...

    I'd say all of their first 7 LP expand if there are available tracks. All of the tracks on Stylistics, Round 2, Rockin' Roll Baby, Let's Put It All Together, From A Mountain, You Are Beautiful, and...

    The last few weeks' have been really quite interesting, seeing the huge promotional campaign for this new release, and added to this, the record label has been selling the CD for £5.99 - to really...

    It seems so strange that Real Gone won't ship to the UK - but they will to the majority of countries worldwide [[there's bound to be exceptions). I do hope that the Anthology is made available to us...

    Interesting that "The Stylistics" are currently touring the UK to packed theatres, but it's never mentioned that the current lead singer has never sung on any of their hits / LP. I know that two of...

    I've always really liked Mary's solo LP. Strangely, I've never seen her perform any of the songs live - but I guess my first time seeing Mary perform was about 1990. After that time, I've managed to...

    Thanks for this amazing find.

    I didn't know that the Russell Harty show had the Supremes singing live - so this is wonderful to see.

    Russell Harty was an interesting character - even when he...

    I've always liked the song - but this performance, no thanks. I've never understood, or liked, when an artist doesn't sing live. I'd rather not see them. It's fake, and just awful.

    As someone...

    I don't know if 'Paper boy' [[Marvelettes) was the A side or B side - it didn't appear on an LP.

    Of course, the Supremes 'Bad weather' and Four Tops 'Simple game' didn't feature on an LP.

    This was the first release on the MoWest label here in the UK. I've always liked this single, and was disappointed when it failed to enter the charts. I don't recall ever hearing it on the radio, and...

    This is brilliant news, even though it's tinged with the sadness that Mary never saw these tracks finally released.

    The new track "why can't we all get along" is superb, and Mary's voice, as...

    I saw Mary many times in concert - almost every time she toured the UK I went to see her.

    It's awfully sad to learn this news, and I agree Berry's comments were lovely to hear.
