HaHa! That's true, Boogie! But the truth of the matter is that our grandparents [[Lawrence Welk fans) didn't have Motown to pass on to the youngin's like we have. Motown is super-cool and utterly...

I'm with you, Reese. That "Good God Almighty, Boy" from Gladys is powerful!

"No One Could Love You More" has always been my favorite track from the "Standing Ovation" album. However, I never liked the title of the album, as "Standing Ovation" implies a live...

I've also always thought that Raynard Miner's "Sunshine Days" by The Marvelettes [[from "In Full Bloom") should have been released as a single.

Me, too, motony. It's one of my favorite tracks on "Sugar n' Spice".

DIANA & MARVIN - "You Are Everything"
DIANA & MARVIN - "Just Say, Just Say"

No FLAMING EMBER - "Sunshine"

Marc, I like your answer best -- "No he can't, but yes he does!" HaHa!!!

I remember that day like it were yesterday. April 1, 1984 -- I was just getting ready to jump in the shower before leaving for work. The radio DJ announced that Marvin had been shot by his father. ...

Favorites of Marvin's lesser known tracks:

1) You
2) Chained
3) You've Been A Long Time Coming
4) You're The One For Me
5) I'll Take Care Of You
6) Unforgettable
7) Once Upon A Time...

I'm personally shocked that this honor doesn't include The Vandellas. When I think of Martha, the first thing that comes to mind is Martha & The Vandellas -- specifically, Martha, Betty & Rosalind --...

Sorry, wrong thread.

Smart thinking, although I would trust the Motown Forum gang before I would trust John Q. Public!

That's really beautiful! My only concern is that thieves will be mighty tempted.

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. ...
