Donny Hathaway's This Christmas is number 63 on the UK singles chart this week.
This is the first time Donny Hathaway has appeared solo in the UK charts. Long overdue.
Whilst on holiday in Biarritz, France recently I found a small shop selling CDs. They had an interesting soul section - they seemed to have brand new copies of some of those Belgian Marginal CDs!

All great ideas above. Here are a few of my favourites:
1. Herbie Hancock - St Louis Blues
2. Djavan - Samurai
3. Norman Brown - Too High
4. The Dixie Hummingbirds - Loves Me Like A Rock
5....
Great to see this coming out. The hardest working man in UK soul!
I've ordered of course but a shame it doesn't include the Instrumental of Just An Illusion that was on the original single...
Does anyone here know the plans for Volume 3 release?
The last one came out late last year, so was expecting Volume 3 by now.
For those who missed Volume 1 and 2, they are beautiful packages...
I think we are being too harsh on Stevie here.
The best thing about Stevie's 80s work is it continues being HIS work. It would have been easy for him to chase the latest trends by working with...
Hi JB,
Much respect for your Temptations CD creations. Interesting you went for the early 90s look for the CDs, without the track numbers. I like the slightly later reissues with the track...
It looks to me like these studio albums have never been on CD anywhere:
House Party [[1975)
Wings Of Love [[1976)
Do The Temptations [[1976)
Power [[1980)
The Temptations [[1981)
Back To Basics...
Yes, good point about TCMS. One of the best surprises [[for me at least) was the version of "Just Let Me Know" on TCMS volume 4. A completely different Paul Williams vocal from the stereo LP...
On the 1999 reissue of Meet The Temptations the notes say that the album was originally released in March 1964 and "subsequently remixed and released in Stereo in 1966".
The 1999 CD is certainly...
Did John do the mastering on the original Stevie albums on CD like SITKOL, Original Musiquarium, Innervisions and Talking Book. No one is credited on the early reissues. Anyone know?
He's...
God knows how many hours I've spent listening to those early CDs. And I'm still missing a couple of those 2 on 1's......
Thank you, John. Condolences to his family.
Received my copy of this yesterday. Wonderful, book-style presentation with very well reproduced photographs from the period. The LP covers are reproduced in the book in full size which look great....
I'm not sure if these have been highlighted here before but Episode 3 has recently been posted on YouTube:

These are incredibly well made cartoons...
I was hesitating as well before buying this, thinking I had all the tracks. But, as you suspected, the version of "Broken Hearted" here is different to that released on TCMS and the various Miracles...
How great to have a healthy Stevie back with new music.
I thought "Can't Put It In The Hands of Fate" was interesting. As others have noted, it's almost a return to the angry Stevie of the 1970s....
I'm sure some of you watched the Soul America program on BBC4 last week. Some great clips and some new interviews including with Mary Wilson.
One segment talked about Motown. The angle being...
The Contours album was released as a 5000-series.
I have it. It is MOTD-5415.
At the induction of The Temptations into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, David Ruffin joined his fellow Tempts to say a few words.
If I caught it right, he says he "still has the picture" of him...
What a great story...thanks for posting.
A gospel expert in my family checked this out. It is indeed true that one Lois Russell [[later Lois Holden) is listed by the Hayes/Laughton gospel...
Looks like the report of success is accurate.
Stevie is out and about at NAMM.

He's wearing a mask which I've never seen him do...
Hi,
I think the answer is you need a copy of "The Wonder Of Stevie". This is a 4cd set issued in 1997 for promotional purposes by Jobete. It occasionally comes up on Ebay.
The version of Another...
The physical 1966 box is looking mighty lonely on the shelf. I agree with the original post - where's the rest?
For me, I would welcome physical boxes of all the [[digital) releases that have...
I agree about the unsurpassed excellence of the 70s albums and his live performances.
But his 80s, 90s and 2000s work is good too.
The following are surely excellent by anyone's standards:

Hi all,
At last....a new Stevie Wonder song. It premiered on US show Scandal a couple of days ago.

Please share, like, and generally go crazy so...
