Wow, that's very interesting.
Wonderful explanation! I appreciate your time and input. That must be the story!
Thanks so much! I thought it may have been unreleased, but I like the idea that the name could have been "developed" into be Dance Party.
Hello, members. I have just seen two articles that talk about a Vandellas album called "Wild One". While I know "Wild One" is a song on the album, Dance Party, I didn't know about an album by the...
When I saw your comment, I had to respond despite the time gone by since you posted it.
Eleven years passed without a word. I so wish they would reconsider this album! Can you imagine how...
[[smiling wryly) Have you ever asked him a question? I hesitate to say he is non-responsive, but he isn't much of a communicator. [[smiling broadly, now)
Hello. If you had to recommend a book about Motown, which book would it be? I understand that there are many books on the subject, and that there are many aspects of "Motown", but overall, which book...
Thank you for the great info. Apparently, "Get My Hands On Some Lovin'" was recorded the same day as "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me".
I had no idea songs on "Lost And Found" were in...
Thank you for your response. I'm researching on DFTMC, but there are no dates for some of their '63 recordings. "Left With A Broken Heart" was recorded in 1963, but no date. And "I Can't Believe That...
Would anyone know the name of the first song the Four Tops recorded at Motown? I'm looking for the name of the first song they recorded, not the first hit they recorded. Thank you for your help.
Thank you, fourtopsjim. I appreciate your response.

Optimal Saint...Hi. You likely already know the bit i have to offer. I just read a lot.
Levi was approached with offers to leave the group and go solo, he turned them down saying he wouldn't...
Thank all of you for taking the time to help me. I appreciate it so much and am delighted with all you have taught me about Singin' Sammy!! Poor man! Booed out of the Apollo! lol
:) wow! thanks so much!!
Thank you, jsmith. I've done a little research on him, but my search skills aren't as sharp as they could be, I'll give it another shot. It's and interesting to know he was a happy, nice guy. The...
I agree. Free Ivy!! Let him out of the vault!!
Might anyone know any biographical facts about Singin' Sammy Ward? I tried Wiki but it was not very helpful. thanks to everyone in advance!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the time you and everyone took to answer my question. The Vandellas did it in '64...that seems early. I know the Four Tops also did it, but I think the first time I...
thank you, everyone, for your responses. they are really interesting and I'm going to look for them...I was kind of hoping for group names, more than individual artist's names. The Temptations might...
Thank you so much to my friend jobucats, and to all of you who responded. it's so interesting to investigate the beginnings of some of the more modern trends. do you think songwriters had anything to...
Thank you! going to listen!
I just don't recall a time when the Temps said "Temptations" in a song...by any chance do you know of one offhand? I'd love to check it out. thanks!!
that's true!! i never thought of that one.
