    Hairpieces/Wigs for the guys??

    Hi all,
    As I have seen dozens and dozens of pictures of the Motown solo guys and groups from the '60s especially, I wonder: did any of them wear hairpieces or wigs?

    There was a brief period in the 70s where David Ruffin wore a wig. I remember seeing him in it during a SOUL TRAIN appearance.

    Obviously, Stevie and Rick James used braid extensions in the '70s, '80s and beyond. And MJ post-Pepsi [[and post-Motown) wore full wigs.

    During their tenure at Motown in the '60s, The Spinners wore "Beatle Wigs" to do their "Black Beatles" routine.
