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...
I just ordered the Strung Out CD. I am considering some others. The Ruff N Ready booklet was over the top. I saw in the listing some of the information about the CD. Thanks for your...
I have a unique CD in my collection Jimmy Ruffin - Ruff'N Ready which was released in 2009. The booklet included in the CD is really great. It is 20 pages long. The back cover of the booklet...
Here is what I posted nearly a year ago from my archives. I am copying and pasting it into this as I don't know how to tie in the posting from another thread without copying and pasting. This...

It would be nice to see Kim Weston appear there. Everyone tends to forget about Kim. She is still a living legend.
I just read where Bob Kayli when his Everyone Was There was released in 1958, he made an appearance performing it on American Bandstand.
Has anyone ever seen this performance or does any one know...
Is there any way this can be enlarged? I am unable to read it. Thank you.

Way back when [I do not know the time frame] for $20 one could subscribe to Martha's Exclusive Newsletter. The money order was to be sent to a post office box in Paramount, CA.
Subscribers were...
I just noted that both the Tri-Phi and Harvey labels had all their releases produced by Hardye Producing Company. Does anyone know if there is any significance to Hardye Producing Company - surely...
See the following from another posting on the MF about an upcoming Cherryred release.

It totally baffles me why a company like Cherryred.co.uk is able to release a CD such as this.
Here is the $64,000 question of the past several years. Why oh why can't Cherryred get approval to...
I have a small question about the Spinners. I recently saw a copy of the Tamla Motown 45 I'll Always Love You. The record clearly states Detroit Spinners.
I should know the answer to this but...
Maybe it was songs that were rejected by the legendary Quality Control group.
I totally agree with the cost of shipping to the UK from the USA and also from the USA to the UK. It is totally ridiculous and getting more costly every time the postal rates go up.
One comment I...
First I have ever heard about a recording by MLK on the MELROSE label.
Can you provide the background on this label? Were any other Motown recordings ever released on it?
Thanks.
As many members are aware, March 26, 2024, our amazing Diana Ross will turn 80 years old.
What would be an appropriate celebration for this milestone? What would everyone like to see?
