I do find It being a unique book and something so different from the usual bio, as the details as to the Marvelettes, the group, the girls and their records, Motown, etc are pretty sparse. It Is...

Thanks for the Youtube clip anything from Miss McNair is more than welcome.
I do love her Motown issues and her voice just blows me away, "Your Gonna Love My Baby" is one of my favourite records....

In Flo's bio "The Lost Supreme" she joined the Marvelettes in 1962 when they had their hit "Please Mr Postman" as Wanda Young being pregnant could not fulfill their tours. Flo joined for several...

Duke's book It really is farcical, its one of the few Motown realted books that I have passed by, so sad that the 4 Tops never had or issued a real professional bio when they were all still alive.

I met Glady's Horton on her UK tour along with Jimmy Ruffin on the 1990 tour, and attended when they played at the "Butter Market venue in Shrewsbury. Sadly not a great crowd, but I had quite a long...

Being as you bought Ella into the cover versions how about this one "Get Ready" also by Smokey Robinson, a great Motown cover & Northern Soul favourite

...

The Magnificent 7

*Lawrence & The Arabians
*The Magnificent 7
*San Francisco T.K.O.'s
*The Whatnauts
*The Five Stairsteps
*Escorts

Her Motown Album well known and lots of copies easily available, anyone have any of the two Motown 45's 1271 & 1313 ?

Prefer Jimmy Ruffins version, it was never originally released until 2003 along with eleven other unreleased tracks on the two CD set "Jimmy Ruffin The Ultimate Collection"

19678

Melba Moore what a voice! Check out an iconic piece of Soul and never bettered "Lean On Me" Just wait till it builds just unbelieveable.

This one is the opposite way round not even an intro or the song title! There's only one with two letters "It" Ron & Bill [Ronnie White & Smokey]

The link to the "Devil" is "Temptation" Big Thanks for the Youtube Trunk never seen it before. Like Nick questioned its a strange one for the Four Tops? more likely as its the same Icon they would...

It made me curious as you mention, as lead sounds just like Eddie K. but Eddie simply was involved with the band and produced some of the tracks.

Love both sides of the Posse VIP 45, if not...

Here's five rarely played
Carolyn Crawford "My Heart"
Tammi Terrell "What A Good Man He Is"
Hattie Littles "Here You Come"
Liz Lands "Midnight Johnny"
Rita Wright [aka Syreeta] "I Can't Give...

Thanks for the chart positions for the Bruno record and the others, really surprised!
I absolutley agree to Motown making money for any record issue, I invested and paid for every one of the 45's...

Paul
Yes I have, The Album cover made me smile but I passed it by, fortunately they never issued it on 45, I would have had a copy otherwise, i have all of the 45's good & bad, the bad from memory...

Thanks Paul, still pretty naff though, how many were pressed ?. Still interesting for the completists. [[I have one with Nicki's Motown sticker)

To make it even worse, Motown even issued an Album on Bruno!

Sammy Turner Motown 1055 B side "Right Now" well worth a listen

Bruno & The Bad Boys From the U.S. HBO special in 1987 “The Return Of Bruno”[Guess Who] Does anybody know anything about the "HBO" special & the 45?

Only issued as a demo in the UK [Why?] not...

"Shadow" is a Sh*% record anyway still can't believe he got away with it!

R Dean Taylor was always a hero of mine, as I grew up in the early 7T's & we had Ghost, Lets Go Somewhere, Indiana Wants etc, also all of the other songs he wrote and co wrote for Motown. Later...
