I venture to say the same about Ms Ross!
Yeah, shared my throwback experience in the Do You Remember? thread. I was a 'tween at the time. Was working on Mama Native's new Sony stereo rack systems. Just as I made the last of the connections,...
Nice play on words. Liked that. Stick around!
Also, there was that tome by Berry Gordy's pop. The name escapes me, however. Mostly covered the Gordy family dynamics. An 100 page or so paperback. Definitely long out-of-print.
I would venture to say there's a parallel with Mike McCarty of Boyz II Men-then Motown powerhouse-act; another underrated bass vocalist/stylist like Blue/Melvin. Even down to their similar...
I stand corrected: Irene's group was called [[Hot Caramel." The album - in the 2000s - was called[[ Irene Cara Presents Hot Caramel" when it dropped.
Motown Ed, I searched high & low, but couldn't find hide nor hair of a teaser trailer or first look of the [[Roberta" [[DOCNYC." [[Maybe haven't been released yet. )
Oh and Mama NativeNY was an Irene too. So she had hooked from day one!!!
I'm with you guys! We didn't imagine her health issues, back inaday. Folks take down unfavorable content all the time, i.e. biz mgr., publicist, etc. So I'm not surprised there's no mention of it...
Have you read his own words in his autobio., "Motown's A & R Man?" Or something to that effect.
Lurv ALL their output from day 1. Especially "Back in Time" on the "Back To The Future " soundtrack. Agree with your sentiments too. Good thread.
Reports also say Diddy's rapping up production on his r & B album. Got an Lifetime Achievement award at BET Awards.
Breaking News: Brandy bout to sign with Motown. New music on the way - album. She was spitting fire on the BET Awards w/ Jack Harlow. That is all.
Auntie B is having some kinda 21st century! Got her masters back, fulfilled her previous [[dubious?) record contract, AND blew the lid off the music industry's chicanery. To now another "Farewell...
What?!!
Wait a minute, here. Excuse me. Pardon me....coming through.
No mention of another wedding standard: "These Three Words?" And the "Jungle Fever" mover? Which I might add, at the time, was...
Here we go again!
According to the Detroit Free Press - 6/6/22 - the Melvin Franklin bass, Jawan Jackson, from "Ain't To Proud " and "Motown: The Musical " is now a real Temp!!! And somehow he's...
Wonder how he felt about "The Poet" Mr. Womack and "TP" The "Teddy Bear" Teddy? Competitors or rivals?
...or was it "Lady in My Life?" Not sure now. Gotta take another look see...
We're trying. We really are trying. But because the label is no longer in BG's hands, it'll NEVER be THAT Motown. His creation will outlive him and the industry. And he's in his 90s!! No one can...
Ditto, MysteryS!
Mirror Online claims "'Nard" is the son of Roberta Flack and he also played with horn maestro, Tom Browne in '79.
Sidebar: Saw clips of a play, "based on the life of Donny Hathaway," entitled, "Twisted Melodies." Anyone see the entire stage production?
Top 5 with a bullet!!!
Time will tell what kind of R&B he's talking about. I didn't watch or want to see Jozzy. Because I don't like being drawn in by the so-called " new R&B/Soul for the week of..."then, to only hear the...
One was, I believe shortly after the BBMA performance. The article I quoted from was out yesterday; it was either Billboard or another music themed article. The other interview, I referenced in...
