    Wow. Funny you should post a link to the pic. I was just listening to Side One of "Keep On Lovin' Me", which Lamont Dozier produced. "Steppin' In The Shoes Of A Fool" is one of the best Dozier songs...

    JJ's short time with Motown was a little unfortunate, but there was no way he could win. He didn't sound exactly like Marvin Gaye, but their styles were too similar and there should only be one of...

    In the beginning, Smokey actually did intend to write material for Claudette that would put her out front a bit more. The reason why he didn't compose for her more frequently was due to her...

    As well maintained as the Motown archive has been in recent years I want to say it survived. If not,with today's technology engineers could probably mute the vocal to let the track stand on it's own....

    Yes, I preordered the set and we have similar feelings regarding what's already in our respective collections. The only thing I'm particularly curious about is the sound quality as the remasters are...

    Let's hope that they've survived and that they didn't perish in that infamous fire. It's the unreleased recordings that were destroyed mostly.

    I don't believe there is anything left besides maybe some demos or some work tapes. And it's a good chance Legacy probably deems them unlistenable or they would've surfaced long ago. As for the...

    Oh Okay. Well, given that it's prepared how soon might we get it once an agreement is made. We all know that it's not wise to oversaturate the market with product. What quarter of 2021 might we see...

    I'm sure we all thought that songs took shape in a team orientated manner,then you realize it could take Eddie a month to write a single tune. He wasn't a fast writer at all. Another thing that stood...

    Too bad this took so long to surface, but thanks much Paul. I'll definitely be supporting this release. I see that there's a Tommy Good track "I Found My Love In You". Is this perhaps the lone studio...

    If vault research is accurate J5 recorded nearly 500 songs during their tenure. There's still 200+ waiting to see the light of day including the album they recorded with Stevie in 1973. Only one tune...

    The Isley's claimed to have recorded it too. I guess Norman wiped their vocals from the track 'cause their version doesn't exist anymore.

    As far as a copa album is concerned there may be some shows committed to tape. Motown made a practice of documenting such events for preservation purposes in some cases. But when it comes to studio...

    "Bless You" is a nice song and a great example of Detroit Soul. However, I don't hear any hit potential in it. Had I worked alongside QC and felt that maybe it could be something,I'd suggest B side...

    The reason he's never watched it is because seeing everything that transpired with the group will make him emotional. As he told Smokey when they discussed it one day: "Smokey, I just don't feel like...

    Yes. Great Smokey composition. I laugh like crazy when I hear this track out of nowhere due to the memory attached. I remember when Burger King used this song as a promotional tune in the late 90's...

    That's what I thought too. Unfortunately Smokey left very little on the cutting room floor. He seemed to record only the songs he was most passionate about. That's why when we get unissued Miracles...
