You can say that again, Gman! I knew that something was up at Invictus/Hot Wax, but it almost seemed like Freda was inching her way toward porn! [[Yet, sadly, both LPs still managed to flop!)
...
I've always interpreted the title of Freda's 2nd Invictus album, "Contact", to simply mean that her latest offering would surely make emotional "contact" and touch our hearts and souls like never...
Ah, so that explains why Laura Lee was switched from the recently-defunct Hot Wax label to Invictus. She apparently still had time left on her HDH contract. Thanks for explaining this as well,...
You're welcome, David.
Thanks for clearing that Up, Eddie. I had wondered about that for years. Now it all makes sense.
Freda Payne's "Contact" is a perfect album from start to finish. Stylish cover art; great production enclosed. At the time of its release, I remember being concerned that "Cherish What Is Dear To...

I'm glad you guys brought up the subject of Limmie & Family Cookin'. I've discovered that I really like this group -- so much that I was inspired to put together an Avco Records Discography. ...
Thanks, Soto! Just as I suspected -- produced by Joe Cobb & Van McCoy. The B-side -- "Always & Forever" -- produced by Joe Cobb & Van McCoy as well. "Always & Forever" was also produced on Brenda...
Small world, imnokid! I just searched YouTube and came up with Big Al Downing's tribute medley to the Four Tops. Have you heard this?

Like you, Graham, I, too, have always wondered what happened to Don Downing. You don't release a top-notch track like "Dream World" [[which is so good it attracts the attention of Tom Moulton) and...
I wasn't aware of that, sans. So The Waters were with Motown during 3 decades: 1969 [[Diana Ross & The Supremes' "Someday We'll Be Together"; throughout the 1970s [[Rick James, etc.), and Diana's...
Really? I did not know that. Thanks for the info., rod_rick.
"Make Love To Me" is a song that Van McCoy had produced on Faith, Hope & Charity. I really like this version by Maxine Brown. I can't read the production credits on the Avco 45 label shown above,...
I have Limmie & Family Cookin's "You Can Do Magic" b/w "Spider" on Avco 45 #4602. Both sides were written by Sandy Linzer, produced by Sandy Linzer and Steve Metz, and arranged by Charlie Calello.
...
Boogie, the above Don Downing CD sounds like an album that I would expect you to have in your extensive Dance Music collection. Can you verify that for me?
Yep, that's right, Rob! 20,000 which is what I stated above in Post #2, courtesy of Google. That's why The Funk Brothers AND The Andantes were The Motown Sound [[regardless of who the featured...
I replied to your last comment, Mary, but it somehow didn't "take". Let's try it again. Yeah, 20,000 recordings is perhaps a tad generous for The Andantes, but I thought the claim made by The...
The Waters were reportedly on "Someday We'll Be Together", but what other Motown recordings were they on? You say there were a lot?
As long as we're on the subject, I've always been surprised...
According to Google, The Andantes have sung on more than 20,000 recordings.
The Waters Family have sung on 260 Gold and 100 Platinum albums. That's 360 × an estimated 12 tracks per album...
Look what I just discovered is available on a Japanese import CD! It's 2023 release somehow managed to sneak right past me.
