You know, I miss Marv at times like this! :cool:

I always have thought of her as Diane. Actually, I think Diana is her real name. I grew up in Detroit and I guess the feeling was that she was a "hometown girl" and most people referred to her as...

@Mary,

Being an obsessive compulsive collector myself, I totally understand why you need to have the individual CDs instead of just the box set. Although to those who are searching for these...

@Milven,

I was thinking the same thing about him being young, but he guessed correctly "The Byrds" in an answer naming 2 of the original members, Gram Parsons and one other [[Roger McQuinn it...

This was a question on tonight‘s jeopardy. Or I guess I should say, this was the answer… The player gave the question as “what is 90?“ Instead of the correct response which would have been “78“!

Are there any other albums from the label that you would recommend? I love those two Tina Turner albums, especially “the hunter“. I think she sings blues better than almost any female singer I’ve...

Just copying the link again so it’s easy for everyone to find.

@MIKEW-UK,

That will be fascinating to listen to. Thanks for finding this!

I guess Sylvester recorded two albums for the Blue Thumb label which were available at some point on a two fer CD, put out by our favorite label, Hip-O! Looks like it might be hard to find now but...

Wow...I would have never known that was Sylvester. I only ever heard his big hits like "Mighty Real." The track is nice but the vocal seems a little under-sung if there is such a term. I would...

Lots of fun tidbits and love seeing the photos and record labels, and some things I still didn't know although I guess it would be on the complete singles sets - the Boone Family recorded for Motown?...

Great piece, Reese! I loved when the one lady said "There isn't a day that goes by when I don't hear myself on the radio." What a legacy!

Thanks for posting! I have mixed feelings about the use...

This is beyond sad to read about. I never heard that Diana Ross didn’t perform well when sometimes it was a big show with the most exposure. I mean her early TV specials were fantastic. I’m not a...

I’m not sure if you’re in the US or not, but what I would do in your situation is if the book shows up, don’t open it, just take it to the post office and say you’re refusing delivery. Then you don’t...

I love all three of the duet albums, though I admit the second and third one are somewhat inconsistent. The second album I think suffers from too many originals and not enough standards or songs from...

I had no idea Ahmad Jamal had recorded for Motown. It looks like it was a one off deal. He's a great artist. I never really understood what this song was about from the lyrics. I'll have to check...

I could maybe understand if they thought Warwick fronted the Shirelles, perhaps, or even the Sweet Inspirations, because she shared some background with both groups [[record label in the former,...

Thanks for the warning! I am going to resist the urge to just see how really bad it is!

Another interesting new set by an artist who I'm not familiar with whatsoever. Like Kool and the Gang and Slave's recent compilations, this one looks like a great package. I'll have to listen to...

Maybe we should make Ralph look at it so he doesn't think we're so bad!

I was a huge Prince fan beginning with "Dirty Mind," which seems to be when a lot of us were first introduced to him. I remember taking the album "1999" to a work Christmas party, and all the...

Thanks, @Peace!

I was kind of joking about Ricardo Montalban, but come to think of it, he has a theater named after him in Los Angeles!

I think it's a great piece. It made me come to love that album which I never had.

But what's funny is the price on this one has gone up and down like the stock market. [[I almost said inflation,...

I forgot about "Jamaica," so good point. Ricardo Montalban...? But to me her one woman show is a concert, so I don't really think of it in the same way.

I think Martin had a couple clinkers in...
