Wow what a total idiot, one sentence and the guy does not get it right. Pretty pathetic
Excellent find, I learned more than what I already knew about the great one, had no idea about the nelson George piece and how that led to the book by Dr Licks.
Thanks for sharing
Perhaps the greatest homage to the Funk Brothers, I remember the conversation I started regarding this gem years ago when we were discussing great sounding non Motown songs. This was the top of my...
Having been a longtime Soulful Detroit blogger-since 2001, I remember the many blogs of MM, hopefully they are all archived. One of a kind to say the least, would often get way to technical for me,...
Thanks Ralph for your countless years as our fearless leader on Soulful Detroit.
I enjoyed the time Duke spent on the early Tops , before Motown, lots of good info. I would have loved the second half of the book to be more detail regarding their hit songs , I thought he did a...
Great guitar beginning and a great bass line
Had a chance to meet all the Funk Brothers when they played in DC in the early 2000's. Had them all sign my SITSOM book and when I talked to Joe I mentioned that I was from Warren, Mi. and he smiled...
Mu all
time favorite by a mile
Not a fan, could hardly hear them, but man once Lose Yourself started to play it was like the A team came to the rescue. such a great song.
They had quite a successful career after Motown, starting with Keeper of The Castle album featuring two top 10 hits, another top 15 hit with Are You Man Enough and quite a few top 40 singles. Plus ...
Agree, Marvin Junior ranks just below Levi, love his voice, There Is an amazing song
Were absolutely part of the Tops, reached the pinnacle with Ask the Lonely, which really should have been called Levi Stubbs and the Andantes.
He will be remembered for the great With This Ring, a true Motown sounding song, by in large due to the Funk Brothers backing him up. Saw him a few years ago on the Malt Shop Cruise, still sounded...
Pretty sure of them was the was Tears of A Clown LP and perhaps their greatest hits
Enjoyed watching the Beatles 6 hour documentary recently.
Also enjoyed how they played off each other, you could tell they were in sync with one anther. I picked up on a few Motown things, i.e....
There's a train leaving here tomorrow-

I heard some of the Minah Birds songs and they were quite good, would have been great to have seen them in concert.
I never get tired of Stubass nuggets, especially when he opines on James Jamerson, nice story as always, we go way back to 2001 on Soulful Detroit.
Were all on the same page with police reform and accountability. No one deserves the lack of dignity that happened. Bad policing is the issue here regardless of race. We need to treat the victim as a...
Even has the 8 bars of Sugar Pie Honey Bunch
That is one of my favorites. There was at least 20 songs I never heard of, they did a crap job, seriously where is Baby I Need Your Loving, the most played Motown song played on radio, according to...
Both are quite original and have great songs, love them both. And of course the chock full of hits album- Reach Out.
