Hey Carlo! Thanks for the tip! Even with having to pay for shipping through ImportCDs, it was still nearly US$2.00 cheaper. Plus, they are saying it will be here May 6-8.

I've ordered from...

Have to laugh because I posted this and about an hour later I got an email from Amazon telling me that my CD will come between May 13th and May 22nd. I guess I can wait. Fascinating that the CD is...

Disappointed that I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon [[Prime) a month ago and the release date [[via Amazon) has come and gone and there's been NO update on when it will be available and ship. I'd be...

The lead single was "Make Me The Woman That You Go Home To," which was released November 18, 1971, followed by the album in December 1971.

It makes no difference to his talent or who he was, but I am correct in saying that I believe Mr. Miner was blind? I thought I'd read that somewhere over my years of being a Motown fan.

Rest in...

It's a fine line to walk, IMO. Do we support any release that involves Motown--even if somewhat peripherally--or do we pick and choose and potentially "suffer the consequences"? Everybody is entitled...

Wait! I thought these yellow wool gowns were called the "Banana-Fana-Fo-Fana Delights"?

Happy Woulda-Been 80th Birthday, dear Mary Wilson! You are oh-so greatly missed!

Mary, YWSSL was released on July 11, 1972, and that awesome uptempo version of YWSSL was AIRED on October 5, 1972, which means they likely taped the episode of Flip sometime in August or September...

Can't seem to find this set on any sites that will easily deliver to the US without charging an arm and a leg. Anyone in the US have a site they can share?

Thanks, Mary! For those who want to 'cut to the chase,' here's the video:

I saw Mary perform a couple of times at smaller venues ["early" appearances I recall are a small club date and an outdoor festival], but the one that I remember being most excited about was her...

I suspect that whoever posted this video put it through an AI program to improve the quality, etc., but some shots didn't come through it very well. The group shots of The Four Seasons all look very...

Isn't that David Nathan [of SoulMusic.com Records] sitting on the far right? A big Motown/Soul fan, to be sure.

And here's a link to Jimmy Ruffin's "I'll Never Let You Get Away":

For reference, here's Jimmy and David Ruffin singing "Steppin' On A Dream." The Sups didn't use the same backing track [or, I should say, The Ruffins didn't use the Sups' track], but the arrangement...

Oh--and though this has come up before, there was also "I Can't Wait Till Summer Comes." The track was recorded in January 1970 and assigned to The Supremes. Strings added in March 1970 and Mary and...

Also completed in time to be included on "Right On," but either used later or not at all are:

I Wish I Were Your Mirror [[worked on and completed in January 1970)
Is There A Place [not Mary and...

Sorry, but these do not utilize the same track. CC's track was recorded May 27, 1967. DRATS' track recorded March 14, 1968. They're even in different keys.

Those plus how about DRATS styled/recorded versions of A&S productions:

Beware Of A Stranger - Tammi Terrell/Syreeta 1967/1968
Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind - Four Tops 1968
It's Been A...

I saw this morning that Conny Van Dyke had passed away. I remember reading that she toured a bit with The "No-Hit" Supremes and they're backing her up on her release, "Oh Freddy," recorded on...

Maybe Diana had burped or farted just before "A' Go-Go: EE" had been put in her hands to take the photo? After all, Andy and Harry don't have quite as wide a smile as Diana does there.

I can't remember in which Motown book I read it many years ago, but I recall that it said Beans was sitting in the backseat playing his flute when the head-on crash happened. Eddie was killed...

Fingers, toes, and eyes--all crossed for the release of Ivy Jo from that gosh darn bag!

I've always kind of liked this tune. It's upbeat and has some funk to it. It's definitely not HDH-style Motown. Here's the production info:

Produced by Harvey Fuqua and Gwen Gordy Fuqua. Track...
