Noted! I appreciate everyone's helpfulness. After I complete this piece on Sandra, I plan on doing pieces on Ann Bogan, Wanda Young, and a few others I have in mind in which I haven't reached out to...
That would be legendary, and to include these Motown stars in my article as direct, firsthand quotes would be ideal. Feel free to email me at LoganRasmussen@Rocketmail.com if you'd like to talk to me...
I am beginning a passion project which highlights and profiles the achievements of Motown stars who have fascinated me and who I consider, "unsung," for a local Arizona publication / music blog.

Happy Birthday! Thank you for the music
Wow! Thank you! This response is informative and more I can ask for. Some of the alternate versions of tracks became my preferred versions
Keep On Lovin' Me - Frances Nero
In certain alternate versions of tracks, you can sometimes catch the artists on the mic either counting down or conversationally riffing in the booth before they start the song.
One of the...
If my ABBA-related knowledge serves me correctly, I believe artists used to lip-sync on television to accommodate the studios and sets who weren't up to code with handling live musical performances....
Which artists do you think were the best at putting on the act of lip-syncing a song during television performances? Who do you think struggled with the concept of lip-syncing compared to their live...
Quick Questions: I've been listening to the new version of this album on repeat lately, especially the live tracks. I notice Flo sings a little riff during the live version of "I Hear A Symphony"...
While this is more fan-fiction than reality, I always imagined what an acid fever dream of a performance "Up The Ladder To The Roof" would be with both Jean and Diana on lead vocals. While their...
I have an extremely complicated relationship with Kanye. at least a few times a year, I go through his discography and thoroughly enjoy myself, but I am constantly reminded of the public...
I'm usually the loud neighbor in regards to my friends and I jamming as well as my love for loud music and great acoustics.
My family definitely passed down my love for it. If you lived in an...
I saw Kylie Minogue twice at the Hollywood Bowl in 2009 and 2011, loved both times. KM had a standard rock band set up with a brass section in 2009 [[shocking for a sugary 00s pop artist), while she...
I really dig the B.T. Express debut you mentioned, I had to pull it out of my collection to get a fresh listen. The funk has truly been missing out of my life for some time :p "Mental Telepathy" is a...
I Am Woman - Helen Reddy
I never saw this performance. Thanks for posting this! I always love these live moments when they pull out unexpected solos [[I'm looking at you Lynda Laurence with "Touch"). Seeing Jean making sweet...
Most of my direct experiences with racism happened in the realm of food service. Probably the worst examples were when I worked at a local Greek restaurant [[small store, fast service-style, one...
I'm sure it boils down to management, timing, travel and whether either of them wants to expend the effort of a short reunion. As iconic as it would be, the brand of any big name artist extends past...
These old Dionne performances always get me. I believe this was also a notable year for Elton John, who left behind his drug use and released what his fans see as his comeback, after throat surgery...
Hey folks -- What are your favorite albums no longer in large-scale distribution? Maybe albums that weren't remastered on a newer format and were left in the past [[vinyl, cassette, etc)?
Open Up Baby - Andrea True
Wow. It gives me the chills to see children so young with such discipline and dedication to authenticity. The Destiny's Child tribute is no joke as well. Whoever handles the creative direction of...
Thanks for the info! I've always loved her breathy vocal style on the "More More More" original mix. The re-recordings Apple Music flogs at me are good, but I always felt her younger voice captured a...
