Happy Birthday, Marv....have a Supreme birthday!

[marv2]

Happy Birthday, Marv....have a Supreme birthday!

Ahhhh, Lakeside! Thank you!

[marv2]

Thanks Westgrandboulevard! I thank God that I keep having them!

[moe]

Happy Birthday Marv..........you can have your cake & eat it too!!

[marv2]

Happy Birthday Marv..........you can have your cake & eat it too!!

Moe, I wished I could. I'll settle for several drinks tonight LOL! Thank you.

[moe]

So westgrand............since Marv is chasing pink elephants this morning
& R&B is under a rock somewhere with Dufuss & Greasy Grady what's on the agenda today?

[westgrandboulevard]

Well Moe, I'll never be made King, and it's too late for me to consider running for President..... so I'll just settle for enjoying this warm Autumn sunshine we have here [[with a forecast of 31 degrees due in a couple of days) and complete and post this list of notable people who have Birthdays today..

[moe]

OK! We've been HOT here but this morning when I got up to run it was 61 F & I was so happy!!
Yesterday we had 2 separate storms........great for the landscaping!!
You do such a good job on the birthdays.......but, of course, you're a super agent!!

[westgrandboulevard]

You're an outdoor girl, that's for sure.

I still think in Fahrenheit, Moe, as do many people here in the UK [[but that's probably only the older ones.... ).

Being in Europe means temperatures are quoted in Centigrade - and our forecast of 31 degrees C. converts to 87F.

That's high for our temperate climate, but I just bet the temperature in parts of the US easily beats that on many an occasion...

Thank you Westgrandboulevard for this thread. All the birthdays of all of these great people I would not have known. Thank you very much for your efforts!

[westgrandboulevard]

Thank you Marv for your compliments, which are very much appreciated!

I certainly do not have the first-hand experience of Ralph, Lowell, and yourself, but your own contributions and, indeed, all the members here, make Soulful Detroit such an interesting place to be, and allows us our own 'stage' to share with each other.

In this thread, I'm looking to give priority to the Motown, R&B, soul and jazz stars who have shared their individual talents with a wider audience, and who deserve recognition at least once a year.

While finding the time to source the information for this is a challenge, it is also extremely interesting.

Westgrand,
When you were playing with HM's Corghis: HM told me to use Scott's [[London) as our seafood caterer & any restaurant where Gordon Ramsey doesn't have ownership nor open his mouth & have a fit. After all, HM would know!

[westgrandboulevard]

..and Moe, while you were talking to HM, I slipped out, went down in the service lift, and visited the kitchens. [[the chefs were planning a 'who sings most like Adele' competition. I expect they all won.....).

I now have a top ten list of best places for chips in the entire Metropolis.

Just occasionally, HM likes to order in, to see what the competition is doing.

And sometimes, she even goes out, in disguise.....

[moe]

YES!!! She told me that!!!! I thought that was hilarious!!! HM does have a devil streak!!
As for Adele, I can personally say that she sounds exactly like her CD's [[having seen her in person last week). It was so nice to see/hear her..........that woman was NOT lip-synching to ANY song!!
