Motown Deep Cuts to thank for these videos [[The Songs Of Helen Lewis and Kay Lewis)

If not recorded elsewhere Kay Lewis [[Miller) Smith is deceased according to The Lewis Sisters web site.

Would be great if a CD collection could be produced of The Lewis Sisters songs recorded by others as well as tracks recorded by The Lewis Sisters for Motown - and maybe, dare I say it, Motorcity -...

There's a nice photo on the front of the "Blue Eyed Soul" CD [[and Leeza Miller, P.J. and The Lewis Sisters) which might be worth looking out for - oh and not forgetting the tracks recorded by Mike...

Sorry I don't get the connection between Richard Perry's production of Diana Ross and the success or otherwise of Martha's album.

Good to know I'm not the only one who really rates "Because They're Young" from Duane Eddy. I know James Darren recorded a vocal version but somehow it's not a patch on Duane's. Incidentally, the...

If I remember correctly, Tamiko Jones married John E Abbey of Blues & Soul magazine.

Teena Marie obviously had/has a big following and plenty of talent but I'm not a fan. Her voice grates on me so I do struggle to listen to her. I'd much prefer a set on another artist.

Very sad to hear reports of the passing of Duane Eddy - legendary guitarist who has died at the age of 86.

Whilst not...

That's it - has to be where I saw it - though post 2 doesn't mention Teena Marie by name.

That's not quite true - STMR9010 was a 1980 re-issue - please see above.

The album "The Supremes Greatest Hits" WAS issued in March 1974 as STML11256 and had the following track listing:

A1 Up The Ladder To The Roof
A2 Bad Weather
A3 Nathan Jones
A4 ...

Pretty sure I've seen information that they're working on a Teena Marie CD issue. In that case, probably not for me.

Way back I identified 11 CD albums released through Motown's distribution deal with Tabu. I think there would have also been singles issued.

Three of these albums were by Alexander O'Neal - one...

Good question. DFTMC makes no mention of either the artist or the song as far as I can see [[so perhaps it became a Jobete song after the time frame of DFTMC).

This UK London single shows the...

In the UK we also got a Jr Walker & The All Stars "Greatest Hits Volume 2" [[STML11224) and also Martha Reeves & The Vandellas "Greatest Hits Volume 2" [[STML11223) with a very attractive cover.

Jimmy Charles re-issue shows Stone Agate too.

The song was in a Jobete music book I bought in the 1970s. This was called "The Motown Era". I've associated it with Motown since then.

THE MOTOWN ERA...

That's a hefty fee. I'm sick of Amazon pushing Prime in your face every item you want to buy anything - which is less and less these days. Certainly wouldn't be worth my while paying that kind of...

Larry Parnes was known as Mr Parnes, Shillings and Pence.

In order to get free delivery from Amazon UK I had to order something else as well to make up a minimum order cost. As it turns out, I had to cancel the other item and naturally they then added...

Must be next.

Seems pretty pointless from a Motown perspective though I suppose side 2 may be slightly more interesting than side 1. One to avoid for me.
