The one pictured in the "Function At The Junction" video at the top of this thread. Here is a playlist for the songs on the cd:

THANK YOU so very much for posting this! And yes, I meant to scream THANK YOU!!

It was nice hearing the frankness coming from these ladies. Unsung needs to do an episode on them for they are...

You are welcome. I agree that his recall and the way he expresses himself are exceptional.

The only time I buy vinyl is from the local thrift stores here in town. I LOVED when cds came out...no more surface noise, scratches [[if kept carefully), and the oftentimes extensive liner notes...

I used to have a copy of that 4 Chords CD and quite liked it. Wish I'd held onto it.

Wow. Loved this. This just happens to be one of my favorite Tops songs. I've never heard the extended outro before either. Early music video I guess.

Forgive me for going off topic but I read something rather interesting a couple of weeks ago. "Living for the City" won back-to-back Grammy awards in 1974 and 1975. Stevie won in 1974 and Ray won...

Imagine if Aretha would have sang a duet with David Ruffin??!!

After reading this thread I was reminded of a conversation I had with my older brother [[9 years older]] a good while ago. We talked about how Aretha and Dionne and others back in the day exuded...

I am in the process of perusing the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll [[1995]].

Read some rather interesting tidbits I thought I'd share here. Please feel free to share your interesting...

Is it safe to assume that when Atlantic distributed another label's music they acquired ownership of the masters? A number of Henry Stone's singles were distributed by Atlantic and still appear on...

Agreed. Wish Jim Stewart would have had the contract looked over before he signed it.

And your presumption would be correct. But as lazy as it is, it still speaks to the impact of Motown.

I know this does not fit what the OP was talking but what about the numerous times black music in general has been called Motown when it isn't Motown music at all? Ignorance notwithstanding, the...
