Hahaha, that song is gonna forever be a curse for the people who made it (with the exception of T.I.).

Do you recall how much? I know they say a six figure sum but they never disclose it. I assume she makes a nice buck from Motown every year since then.

I know Gladys Knight continues to get royalty...

And do you know how much she's earning?

I didn't even say I believed Rob. I asked him was that true lol

You're mad that you assume three black women, the offspring of the founder of the...

They shouldn't be treating the godmother of Whitney Houston and the vocalist behind MANY of Phil Spector's songs this way. The original Queen of Christmas Music? Really?

The essay is obviously BS lol

The documentary doesn't seem real either.

If Martha is earning that, then I hate to hear how much Annette, Rosalind, Betty and Lois are getting paid.

I noticed that too. I was like "these families ain't even that close to nasty." I kept reading like "Sister Sledge? The Bee Gees? Heart?" Like yeah, they may squabble but they find their ways back...

Yeah it was a free concert.

Wait wait wait... I know she didn't receive something THAT low... I get it's probably performance royalties but that low? From someone who sung the heavens out of Heat Wave, Quicksand and Dancing in...

And IIRC, Martha sued Motown in 83, like six years before the Vandellas sued too. Martha got hers, I think the Vandellas got theirs but it wasn't much since they had to split it (twice if it was just...

Some of these rivalries didn't seem nasty, just petty. Especially the Gibbs.

Surprised they didn't include the Jackson 5! The Wilson sisters more dysfunctional than the Jacksons? Mmkay lmao

In the Wiki article for the song, Mary and Marlene are credited for the backgrounds.

Funny how when people who were there say anything about a Supremes recording, the conversation goes left or right depending on that person's opinion on what they think they heard.

I heard the song...

The Chapmans are doing great. Florence and Tommy would be proud of them right now.

LMAO!!!

I imagine they argued a lot while making all those hits... :D

Billy Dee just said he don't know what the hell genderfluid means. Now can we just leave him alone? LOL

No hope for anyone in that family.

I did say that they stayed there before they really hit the top. They stayed there until 1965.

I have to read CHMR again... I guess Brewster starts getting rough around 62-63?

Yeah, Motown started to expand their base to California around 1964 (shortly after signing Brenda Holloway, who was hesitant of recording in Detroit so Motown set up base for her in L.A.). Quite...

I'm listening to this album by an artist like H.E.R. and she's pretty damn good. The Grammys just nominated her for tons of awards including Album and Record of the Year. Just take a listen. It may...

I got that information from Fred Ross, the father of you know who. Lol

Not saying Brewster wasn't without trouble even in those early years (or any other Detroit city for that matter, I mean I...

Yeah but it wasn't a dangerous neighborhood. Wasn't exactly middle class but it was still above most black populated areas in Detroit before the late 1960s.

The Houstons moved to Dodd Street in 1968.

^ H&O eventually did record it years later but by then, Dan was unfortunately gone.

Y'all know he produced James Brown's final pop hit, right? :)

Oh did she? I need to read Dreamgirl again lol
