I found an interview from 2013 that Willie conducted. I learned something I was unaware of from this interview. Although Willie/Lester was famous for being part of the Motown Revues in the early...
I highly doubt that Theboyfromxtown has aged a day. His memory is as good as it always was. He knows his stuff.
Does anyone ever hear any mention of Willie Tyler and Lester? At the Martha Reeves Walk of Fame celebration it was announced that Willie Tyler was in attendance but no mention was made of Lester.

I second that motion for thanking mysterysinger. If you click through the various pictures you will see other less famous Motown recording artists, i. e. Linda Griner. Check them out. Thanks for...
Look at the flicker photos he included above --- the third one. This was released on the Motown Command Classics. I think this is where it should be located.
Think of Tammi Terrell, the pride of Philadelphia. Today would have been her 79th birthday. Wow, how I wish she were still with us. She left us way too early and horrifically.
Play some Tammi...
National Record Mart in Pittsburgh, PA. That brings back some good memories. Does anyone know the rise and fall of the NRM? Would be interesting to know.
I just stumbled upon this interesting article. It should be of interest to a great number of SDF members.
Thanks Ann Delisi for this great remembrance.

I recall seeing an article earlier this year where the Motown Museum was searching for a new Executive Director. I have not seen or heard that anyone has been hired to perform that valuable job.

I heard Willie Tyler was announced as being in the audience. Wonder what happened to Lester??????????????? Where was he???????????????????
Does anyone have a suggestion of an available CD that contains all of Baby Washington's Neptune releases? I am especially interested in one of her early releases which I think is absolutely the best...
You are correct about Cindy. I stand corrected.
Thanks for pointing this out.
In 1990 saw the 4 CD release of the Marvin Gaye Collection was released, they had prepared an EXCELLENT 30 page booklet to accompany the set. The book was truly unique. It measured 11" x 11". It...

Congratulations to Tammi Terrell. She has achieved the #1 position in this survey just released.

As a further point of reference,...
I agree with your comment about being worth supporting. What do you have to lose? I also will get one so at least two will be sold.
We have to be optimistic. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
How about the legacy of Motown? You forgot that as something they should have remembered.
Johnjeb: I just had an interesting thought in how the map was changed.
When Motown moved from Detroit to Los Angeles, did they ever consider changing the map to show California outlying areas of...
While on the subject of Freda Payne, does anyone have any idea what she is up to these days? Since her book was published she skyrocketed to fame and fortune; but it eventually wore off. I guess...
Wow, thank you. I learned something today. The UK has SO SO SO many towns and cities, etc. that I am unfamiliar with them. I have only been to Massachusetts only via Amtrak and never gave that a...
Thank you very much for displaying the photos that you did. I was especially surprised to see the Bettye Lavette actual CD that showed Barnstable and Yarmouth vs. Detroit in the upper half of the...
Why should it be moved? Surely Motown is represented in this video. I will listen to it when time allows. But if it goes into the "other forum" it surely won't be read or viewed if at all.
Hopefully some forum members will be able to attend this upcoming event in Plymouth, Michigan early March. Details in the story below.
This will greatly help her upcoming celebration for the...
