it'll perhaps be moved over to the DRATS forum where it now belongs.

Great or the vinyl fans but wouldn't Motown fans already have the proper releases?

As it's all to be vinyl, I won't be interested in buying.

Here you can hear a 46 second clip of Brenda's version of "Here Are The Pieces Of My Broken Heart" from an acetate - and there's a pic of the label too. I assume that's the acetate Paul refers to...

Martha [[and The Vandellas) will be on tour in the UK in September - along with the Four Tops [[Duke) and The Tavares.

Also of interest may be the Charly album "Motor City Magic Volume 2" which has a track by The Motor City Runners which seems to be an instrumental Hornets band track version of "Watch Your Step...

On the LP "Exposed" by Valerie Simpson, track 9 lists as "World Without Sunshine".

On the CDs "The Best Of" and "The Collection" it's listed as "World Without Sunlight" as it is in DFTMC. On...

According to the website Allmusic "Clarence Paul [[Five Royales) was assigned to produce Valvano; he cut two solo albums that never left the shelf."

If not recorded elsewhere Kay Lewis [[Miller) Smith is deceased according to The Lewis Sisters web site.

Would be great if a CD collection could be produced of The Lewis Sisters songs recorded by others as well as tracks recorded by The Lewis Sisters for Motown - and maybe, dare I say it, Motorcity -...

There's a nice photo on the front of the "Blue Eyed Soul" CD [[and Leeza Miller, P.J. and The Lewis Sisters) which might be worth looking out for - oh and not forgetting the tracks recorded by Mike...

Sorry I don't get the connection between Richard Perry's production of Diana Ross and the success or otherwise of Martha's album.

Good to know I'm not the only one who really rates "Because They're Young" from Duane Eddy. I know James Darren recorded a vocal version but somehow it's not a patch on Duane's. Incidentally, the...

If I remember correctly, Tamiko Jones married John E Abbey of Blues & Soul magazine.

Teena Marie obviously had/has a big following and plenty of talent but I'm not a fan. Her voice grates on me so I do struggle to listen to her. I'd much prefer a set on another artist.
