There's a site that has an "expanded edition" of this one; I thought it was Ben's. I don't know though, the graphics and design don't look like Ben's work, it looks pretty cheap and shoddy. I don't...
Radio jingle video- skip to around the 4:38 mark and watch. Watch for an um, iconic [?] Motown album photo...

OH! The Ink Spots part is EXCELLENT!
You know what Gary? This is causing me such sadness! Why? Because I'm built pretty much like George and watching this gave me exactly the image of what I would have looked like if I had wanted to be...
I really started appreciating The Blossoms when I got into collecting the old "Shindig!" TV episodes. The show's producer, Jack Good had so a deep appreciation and reverence for all kinds of music...
I think I was maybe 16 when I got the Marvin & Kim album "Take Two." I recall distinctly having the feeling I was hearing a "New Motown Sound" hit [["It Takes Two") that had been tacked onto an album...
Not really bizarre as much as a clever bit of comedy. Right from how the group is introduced as "...... AND THE PIPS!" and the mic stand sitting there for nobody.
Hi Gary, this is fantastic! This sounds like something I would have definitely bought, and it sounds like it was made for radio! Do you recall how it did on the charts? Kiki has always struck me as...
This should be a real CD
Wow, Reese, that was a fast response and I thank you for this. For years I had the suspicion that I was hearing Gladys and Co. on that record but it's absolutely wonderful to now have the proof in...
Interesting point of view expressed here, but it also shows an amazing abundance of ignorance on at least one point: the writer lobs extra-sour grapes at Motown for packaging its artists in "silly...
That's BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!
Very sad. I just recently saw the YouTube clip posted here by Graham Jarvis and Connie [[Conny) came across as someone who could immediately make anybody feel as if they had been old friends with...
Sign me up for that [[tee hee hee!)
OH THIS IS BOSS, BABY!
Not only is the Valentine's Day theme for the collection brilliant, but I just spit out my Pepsi when I read that title: "Losers In Love"
I tell you, the spit take you...
"Motown Celebrates Father's Day!" 12 BIG HITS FROM MOTOWN!

Of course it isn't. If in well over 60-some years nobody's ever heard about anything like this...
I'm just trying to understand what would have been so shocking about it if it were true...unless...
What's your source? How "obscure" could this be?
Were these young unknowns 2 of the original Marvelettes who later had to drop out?
Are you referring to when Flo gave Gladys some suggestions on...
"I Gotta Dance To Keep From Crying." Given the right music and the right beat, you can dance right over the pain. I think I've read more than a few times that it's a production choice to contrast...
This is wonderful and very much deserved. Only thing is, I found myself thinking it would have been even better if there were more and rarer photos of Claudette with the group other than the usual...
I NEVER would have even stumbled onto this one! I was completely rutted in thinking of 60s releases- I completely forgot about this latter-day release! I was literally going line-by-line of "Reaching...
When I heard this on one of those Motown Karaoke CDs it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever heard as far as Motown records. To hear Gladys's lead as well as those backing vocals crystal...
Ha ha ha! I totally understand why they say art is subjective and not objective! I actually like that middle section. The reason is that my ears hear it as a creating a sort of build up, a rising...
Excellent explanation of the fold-down process. I have a rudimentary knowledge of the engineering part of things, but it's VERY rudimentary! When you talk about the backing vocals of "We Can Work It...
