Some very classic pics....Can't get over Norman Whitfield...Looked a lot different in the 80's when I would see him at my brothers house...Put on LOTS of weight by then...
Wow,dick clark with the original marvelettes.
Yes, met Norman through my brother who worked pretty extensively with Norman in the 80's on Rose Royce, The Temptations, Last Dragon film [[they wrote the title track together), and some other stuff...Norman Jr too...Would see Norman at my brothers house...Normans grandson worked for the company I was involved with...
Look at how young Barney Ales was in that picture.
Marv: I had hoped you would attend the book event tonight at the Motown Museum. Did anyone who is a forum member attend this event? I did see where Barney Ales will not be attending as originally presented. Maybe he will do some future event.
Thanks for sharing! Very excited to get this book.
In Marc Taylor's book, The Original Marvelettes: Motown's Mystery Girl Group, Taylor refers to her as "Wyanetta" throughout the book, and I've seen it spelled this way elsewhere as well, although it's spelled Juanita more often. It's always perplexed me although I don't obsess on it. Maybe someone in here can shed some light on this.
I'm just amazed at how young and happy everyone in the photo looks.
Hope you had a good birthday Marv.
Probably I'm still unclear what's its like. I already knew most of the pics.
I see 6 guys in mustard-colored suits in the UK 1965 group photo. I checked another book and there is a different picture from the same photo-shoot also with 6 guys in the same styled suit. So who is this 6th "Temptation" on the far left?
Also, is that Dennis Edwards behind Martha Reeves?
This is one:
Haven't seen the Smokey & Claudette, Miracles, Smokey in booth, Stevie & Berry pics. Nice to find the Marvin and Barney pic without the watermark... but it's a shame they didn't post no more. I'm sure there's more rare Marvin!
I won't be buying the book which I see is getting a lot of attention everywhere, but I don't
need to...I don't know about your towns but in New York the public libraries are getting
circulating copies for every branch I'm told...
