I have quite a few items in my collection labeled Promo one way or another. I always took that to mean that they would be less valuable than other copies, but now I am not so sure.

How about those...

Atasteofhoney;

As everyone else is saying, welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy your time with us. It sounds as if you and I must have been introduced to Motown around the same time. In my case, I...

Thanks. I only listen to Sirius on my car radio. I would probably never get anything else done if I tried to also listen online!!

My original understanding was that the Soul channel (49 I think it is) would be all-Motown for only the first week of the month. But I still hear commercials saying that there will be a Motown...

I too remember the inner sleeves that offered the chance to become a fan club member. If my memory serves, I sent in my dollar or whatever it would have been at the time and I think I requested to be...

Although it aired Sunday night the 14th, I did not get to watch the first episode of American Idol until tonight. But you will be pleased to hear that two of our favorites factored into the first...

I agree with all the above since of course ALL Marvelettes songs are amazing. To the list of Wanda vocals I would add You're the One and The Day You Take One (You Have to Take the Other.)

Wasn't familiar with the name since I do not often notice who wrote a song, but if he wrote for Phyllis, he knew his stuff so he was alright by me!

A friend asked me this today and I had to admit I had never heard anything about it so perhaps someone on here will know.....

We have all heard the story about the girls finishing fourth in a...

I consider taxes to be an important enough job that it should be left to the pros. When I was audited a few years ago (which I was told is strictly a random thing and not an indication that they...

My impression was that the DRATS forum developed just because they received so much attention on the board that it seemed logical to give them their own space. Furthermore I took it to be the place...

Like so many of you are saying, it is the suddenness of this that makes it so shocking. She had always seemed so young and vibrant. If we can take any consolation out of this, it is the fact that she...

Sad news. Both groups were awesome. I might have some Peaches and Cream In the Midnight Hour in her honor!

Will probably indulge in this one. Happy to see any CDs still coming out in mid-year.

Has the Motown channel by any chance been extended? Today (Thursday) I twice heard commercials saying that they would be saluting Motown for the entire month, as opposed to just the first week as...

I am asking because a newsletter I receive from Soul Tracks came out this week and contained a review of the project, as if it was still forthcoming. Does anyone have any updated information?

Both yesterday and today on the Motown channel, I got to hear Brenda's "Just Look What You've Done." How was that NOT an absolutely MASSIVE hit?

I am not jobeterob but I can identify. I LOVE listening to my CDs in the car and have them by the hundreds. That is why it distresses me that they are phasing out CD players in cars. (I will be able...

Miss Jane was one of the all-time great classics in TV history. So many people could learn so much from watching that even today.

I had forgotten about the Young Frankenstein role, so thanks for bringing that up.

Nabob:

Wasn't that Madeline Kahn that said that line you referenced? She played the stripper named Lilly Von Schtupp. If Cloris was in that movie, I am not remembering it.

How sad to hear this.......first Mother Dexter leaves us (and yes I know that was 40 years ago) and now Phyllis herself. We LOVED that show! Of course she showed her serious side, as mentioned above,...

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

According to the information I have seen, Bobby Purify was not James' brother but instead just took the name professionally. I think they were cousins. James' name really WAS Purify but Bobby's was...

For me it would have been late 65/early 66. I had gotten a transistor radio for Christmas and the first song I remember hearing by them was My World is Empty Without You. I soon became hooked on...
