Thanks Marv for postin' these picture's,Mary Wilson looks good,as always.

[detmotownguy]

Sure does Luke...she has been a busy lady. Nice to see Gladys looking fine too. And thanks to you Marv for the great pics.

[marv2]

You are all welcome. Looks like an exciting show. Stevie deserves it.

This made me revisit Stevie's earlier work. He really is a genius. I have seen him in concert 2x; one being at the FOX in Detroit in the mid 90's. That show is one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I will never forget when he played the drums and literally brought the house down. I am surprised there isn't more interest in this thread given his accomplishments.

We were at that show at the Fox! New Year's Eve 1994-95. One of the all time best shows I have seen. It ran something like 3 hours with Carolyn Crawford performing the intermission in the lobby on the huge , elevated stage.

[marv2]

A very personal favorite of mine, "Higher Ground". I couldn't afford the album at the time, but I got the 45.

[marv2]

I knew Stevie had been around a long, long time ,but this is ridiculous! LOL!

I'm very much looking forward to this tribute to Stevie. I had no idea they were doing this and have been listening to his albums for the last month or so, just because. There is one song[[s) that I just love and seems to always slip below the radar: Superwoman/ Where Were You When I Needed You. The series of albums from Music Of My Mind through Songs In The Key Of Life are just fantastic. Seminal albums that belong in every collection.

Mary Wilson.............................

I offer that Songs in the Key of Life is some of his finest work. Back in Detroit I remember how big he was in the late 70's and early 80's. the ladies in Accounts Payable used to play Stevie all day long. Curious to know what everyone here thinks is his finest work. We don't seem to discuss Stevie too much here so be cool to talk about his Motown tenure. To me he was one of first artists to become independent so to speak and take over his own career. Being a multi talented musician, song writer, and performer I am glad he was allowed to carve out his own path. Does anyone know how involved Berry was in his career as his career moved forward? Thanks

That album took me through most of high school! Perfectly marketed and promoted by Motown. The range of songs were simply awesome! Remember the bonus 45?

I'm just catching up to this great thread. Thanks for posting all the pics, Marv. Great participation, gang.

Ralph you are most welcome. I can't wait to see Detroit and Motown represented on national television tomorrow night and then later this month on PBS!

Since my mind is gone and I am not near my albums.... Is the bonus 45 on the cd of Songs In The Key of Life? Frankly, I can't remember what song was on the 45. Regarding my favorite Stevie album, it would be a tie between Talking Book and Innervisions. Still, as I said before from Music In My Mind through Songs In The Key of Life are all needed in any collection.

You Thom, I can't remember the bonus song titles now either. My parents bought the album....for themselves. I was allowed to play it. Years later I bought my own copy and was lucky to find one with the bonus 45 as it was a part of the limited edition. I will do a little research to see what I can come up with.

[detmotownguy]

For those from the Detroit area, I remember Stevie coming into Dearborn Music in the dead of winter to test instruments such as the electric piano. My girlfriend called me and said get to the store asap. Stevie was so nice and appreciated the compliments on his music. However, my girlfriend had a fit cause Stevie was wearing this big fox fur coat as she was against fur lol! Even his entourage was fan friendly. I was so lucky so have met so many of the Motown stars by chance living on Detroit. To this day I cant believe how down to earth they were. Once Smokey Robinson stopped an interview in Greek Town to say hi to us! And of course Martha is the best of the best! Anyway I am rambling.......

I think it was called "A Something Extra" and had "Saturn Eyes", "Ebony Eyes", " "All Day Sucker" and "Easy Going" on it.
