    These Velveletts were a St. Louis group, who had nothing to do with the Detroit-bred Motown group or Motown Records. What is interesting, and probably helped with the confusion in connecting...

    I thought those 3 Versatones' Motown cuts were written and produced by Smokey. I seem to remember his name on their 7-inch acetates. The music writing and lyrics sound like pure Smokey to...

    Thanks nsoule for letting us hear these interesting old songs. I like both better than most of the Billy Gordon led recordings by them. "Bewildered" is a halfway decent group harmony song. I think...

    Yes, 'The Wrecking Crew's members recorded on many of Motown's L.A. recordings before the move west in 1972-74. But, I'd be surprised to learn that they ALL performed together, live, backing up...

    The Soul Records Hit Pack 45 35011, has "Distributed by Bell Records" written along the bottom of the label, in error. I remember also 35010 had the same misprint.

    This is a song I always wondered about. It just doesn't sound like a song Ronnie [[Eugene) would sing [[or write, for that matter). It's much more like a song his brother, Al would write. ...

    Liberty issued "Stone Soul Picnic" by The 5th Dimension, which, almost certainly, would have sold a lot more than "Another Day, Another Heartbreak" issued on Tamla-Motown. So, my theory...

    I doubt very much that that is a labelling error. Marc Gordon left Motown in late 1966 to form Soul City Records, with Johnny Rivers. Clearly, that was a Soul City 1967 production. They...
