I don't listen to it very often but when I do, it is about the same. For me it is about the music. Now some of those other celebs that host shows, such as Tommy James and Peter Noone, well that is a...

I don't think anyone has pointed out yet that when they were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame a couple of decades ago, the honor went to the group and not to Martha herself.

If "That's The Way Love Is" is considered a lesser song, then it would be on my list. But my real choice for this question would be "Seek and You Shall Find." Great song!!!

I knew that someone would come through and wow! such quick service! So thanks smallworld.

Sadly it does not have the track I was hoping for, but I am not surprised due to the time period covered....

She is not everyone's cup of tea and she is certainly not soul, but I realize we discuss all sorts of music on here. I just read about a 2 CD collection of her A and B sides coming out in May, but so...

Interesting release. As you have heard me say before, keep them coming!!! Long live the CD era!!!

The one that immediately comes to mind for me is Fading Away by the Marvelettes, which is to say by Wanda Rogers.

I probably have most of these songs already but I might go for it if the price is right.

Easy question.......the hard driving piano intros of I Can't Dance to That Music You're Playin or I'm a Winner [[both Martha of course) as well as either version of He Was Really Sayin' Somethin.'

Thanks for bringing in the connection to the Honey Cone and that great album with the highly-underrated Sittin' on a Time Bomb. Never could believe that one failed to do any better than it did.

Both this album and her Invictus debut were spectacular. She had many great albums after those but those two were the highlights for me. Agree that there was not a weak cut to be found.

Motown was of course famous for its fantastic intros. I guess two of the more obvious choices for this specific question would be War and Stop! In the Name of Love. An intro I have always liked, and...

For me it would be:

Remember Me
Dark Side of the World
Surrender
Sleepin'
Last Time I Saw Him
No One Gets the Prize

Maybe some others but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

Thanks for the Discogs reference. Wonder why I didn't think of that myself. Looks like they are featured on two different compilations that would give the nine singles you mentioned. But...

I am listening to my local radio station's daily Soul Power Lunch Hour and they just played a song called "You Can Do Magic" by Limmie and the Family Cookin.' What do we know about them?

First of...

As I get on up there in years, this is something I think about often. I have TONS of albums and CDs that if taken individually for their value would be worth [[I hope) thousands of dollars, maybe...

The thing that strikes me odd about that one is the label itself. By the time Marvin recorded Grapevine, that old globe Tamla label had been retired for several years, hadn't it?

Oh as we say here in the US "pennies make dollars" so you would be surprised at how many people will find just one cheap item they want on Discogs and pay five times the purchase price to have it...

I was listing some items on Discogs when I came across something odd on a Marvin collection. The CD is entitled Every Great Motown Hit and the cover shows a smiling Marvin in a red jacket. The...

Maybe I am out of touch or maybe my tastes are to blame, but Candi is the only person on this list that I would even be remotely interested in. I have not even heard of some of the others. Guess I...

I watched the two halves of the game but passed on the halftime show. I haven't seen one yet that I found that interesting. They always sound so mechanical and electronic.

I saw them in concert about 5 years ago and he was acknowledged as the only original member. The younger guys did a great job of delivering all their classics.

Martha and her sisters were on the...

My goodness I had no idea it had been that long since Wanda died!!! Thanks for the correction. I would have sworn it was more recent than that. I would have missed that memorial segment because I...

As you may know, all the major awards shows have a feature in which they pay tribute to artists who have passed away since the last show. So last night's Grammy Awards featured such a segment.

It is a shame when sincere fans such as ourselves are duped like that. Reminds me of that guy 10 years or so ago that was supposedly selling the Motown drink coasters. Fortunately my credit card...
