This was discussed on the Main Motown page within the past couple of weeks..

The Bee Gees were date and passe at this point. Was it the record label's idea to pair DR and the Bee Gees together?

Hey After You, I see you're relatively new to the SD board, so Welcome. Regarding Motown Andy he is in fact an employee of Universal/Motown and he, along with George Solomon, and many others have...

Great article. Thanks for posting.
The one quote that made me smile and hopeful came from Mary's daughter when she stated that additional volumes of her mother's unreleased music, along with a slate...

Both EA and Pieces of Ice violated one of Berry Gordy's most important tenents to a song: the ability to understand the lyrics. When I first played both the 45 and EA album I knew it would be a...

THIS was the very first album that I ever bought in August 1981 when I was 12. I bought this album because I fell in love with all the beautiful faces. This is still my favorite picture of Diana Ross.

Was C. Paul still producing tracks for SW in 1980?
And have you been able to listen to all/some/a few of SW's unreleased tracks from the 60's? How many tracks are there?

I was referring to the song All I Do Is Think About You. Sorry if that part was unclear. On DFTMC under the song there's an entry saying that SW recorded a version, dates unknown, but produced by...

Can someone brief me on this project?

It's REALLY, REALLY east. Directly under the video click the SHARE button with the arrow to the right of it. Click in the box with the link in it. Hit the copy button. This will copy the link for you...

Here's another Jobete song that made it out of Hitsville, this one by Alice Clark.

My Heart was the B-Side to Carolyn Crawford's 45 When Somebody's Good To You in November 1964 and Tammi's version is just as good as Carolyn's released version. My running question has always been if...

The responses do relate back to the original topic.

Wow, what an incredible story. Do you recall who opened for the Temptations at the Roostertail? It's rather tragic how it all ended for him.

I hear what you're saying but the group's early recordings - pre-WDOLG- tell a different story. As do the few live concert recordings that exist. Mary and Florence shared very few leads in the run...

But weren't all the lead singers the de facto leader of the group and star? Martha, Smokey, Levi, Glady K, Jr. Walker, Michael J.?

Thank You! I see it now. I think the Supreme's version is ok. But M&TV's version is the definitive version. Plus the sounds out of place on the Reflection's album, a bit dated compared to the song...

I'm still not seeing it listed on DFTM or maybe I've just gone crazy.

The B-side to Martha & The Vandella's song My Baby Loves Me, Never Leave Your Baby's Side never made it onto an album.

So how did you take his comment of David being on Cloud Nine? Was it about David being caught up in fame or was he alluding to a substance abuse issue? Do you recall what else you two talked about...

I'm only hearing the Andantes on this track.
Oddly, this track isn't listed in DFTMC...curious.

Kim Weston also does a version of the song with the original back track. On Wikipedia the Andantes...

I think Motown tended to go with what worked and hit. While I think the group was on an upward trend in late '63 and '64, My Girl got the group more attention and kinda cemented Ruffin as the lead...

There's a difference between the mono and stereo version that was a nice surprise on the EE set.

The 12" version of What You Gave Me. It's so much better than the 45 and album version. If this doesn't make you want to get up and dance then I think your legs must be broken and your hearing is...
