Another contribution to the fun and the mystery: Oma HEARD, the subject of this thread, the singer of "Lifetime Man" on VIP and the duettist with Marvin, turned up on another Motown-related label, Chisa, in 1969, as one-third of Dorothy, Oma and Zelpha, with a 45 titled "Gonna Put It On Your Mind", included in The Complete Motown SIngles Volume 9. Oma sang lead on the B-side, "Henry Blake". By that time, she was Oma DRAKE, as shown on that 1982 Laverne Ware SIngers LP sleeve you posted [[which I'd never seen before and is unknown to Wikipedia! - thanks again). Laverne Ware is perhaps better known to soul music fans under her real name, Gloria Jones, though most of the songs she wrote for Motown were credited to L.Ware.
