Legendary New York area DJ Danny Stiles has died at age 87. In the 60's, I listened to him spin all the latest soul hits on "The Kit Kat Club" on WNJR in Newark. In recent years he was on several...

The liner notes on "Moods of Marvin Gaye" mention "Pretty Little Baby" but that song is not on the album. "The Marvelettes" EP lists "Keep Off, No Tresspassing" on the cover and label but "When I...
I put off purchasing the Brenda Anthology, then dicovered the insane prices it was going for. Every few weeks though, I would check the usual sources just in case. Lo and behold, this past July a...
"Night 'Fo Last" could be called a sequel to "Function at the Junction".
Motown made tons of "soulful" records, but the more "pop" sounding material simply was more popular. Don't forget, it's Show BUSINESS; Mr. Gordy's first responsibility was to keep the company...
