    Was David Geffen a friend of Mary Wilson's? He didn't have a business connection with Motown, did he?

    I've never liked the lyric implication of "When Can Brown Begin."

    I gather this quote is from his memoir.




    It's funny to me how Webb mentions the singer-songwriter craze as a jumping off point yet the album he made is so unlike that movement in sound.

    Wasn't Candi Staton seeking to gain ownership of her masters? Was she successful and now she's partnered with Ace? Cardboard sleeves may appeal to the nostalgia buffs but they're tricky to...

    I hope someone has proofread the book better than the website:




    This documentary comes to mind. I've never read the book version.

    I was also expecting not to like it but Scherrie puts her own stamp on it.

    For those unfamiliar with the song: It's a Broadway standard from the show "Follies." The late Stephen Sondheim wrote the...

    What is the story behind the U.S. recordings credited to the Gypsies and the Flirtations?

    Are the Josie/Festival Flirtations a different group? Sidney Barnes was still involved, as he had been...

    The Japan link above looks like Disk Union just slapped an OBI on the UK reissue CD.

    If you want to find out if it's indeed stereo, contact the 5 people on discogs that claim to have it in their...

    I'd never heard the Zulema version of "Giving Up" before now. The instrumental strips the pathos right out of it and I don't think it really supports Zulema's vocal. I think it would have worked...

    There is but one Van McCoy song in Lulu's discography, which is a shame as Van's brand of romanticism would have slotted right in to one of her later '70s/early '80s albums.

    I still hold out hope that the 7" Version of "Seconds" makes its way to digital one day [from master tape]. Ditto some of the other unique Salsoul 7" remixes.

    A Van McCoy song not mentioned above is "Take Me As I Am." As far as I know, it was only ever released by one act: Lulu.

    Since we're throwing out suggestions, I'd like Cissy Houston's Columbia album, "Step Aside for a Lady," to see reissue, perhaps grouped with the Warning - Danger tracks.

    Unidisc released an...

    The studio side of "Living Proof" has never been released digitally, has it?

    Do we have a release date for the album?...

    Do we have a release date for the album? Wikipedia lists "1 April 1976", which seems too early in the light of the submission date{s} for the Terrana mixes. Cashbox on the 24th of that month has an...

    I think Diana could have done something with "Too Lost In You," originally released in 1997 by Patricia Kaas in a French language version. It was then released about six years later in English by...

    I recall the ending of "You Can Have Him" sounds like it was spliced in from another mix source. How many of Dionne's singles were dedicated mixes? It wouldn't surprise me if Scepter took to folding...

    I never liked "Touch" until I heard Renee Geyer's version. Third time's the charm.

    I recall a quote from Geyer that putting her "big pink face" on the album cover sunk its chances.

    Did The Mamas And The Papas avoid singing live on television? Or do their fans just overdub the studio recordings onto the TV visuals for YouTube?

    The album cover makes it look like a box set of albums rather than a highlights set.

    I'd love for SoulMusic Records to gather Sharon Redd's Prelude recordings together in a box set. I'd also like...

    I'd always hoped that Pointer Sisters would have a late in life album success like Solomon Burke or Loretta Lynn. I'm glad that Bonnie & Anita were able to record and release "Feels Like June" not...

    Jellybean didn't write "Holiday" nor did he write countless hits for Madonna. He was most useful to Madonna for his production and mixing skills.
