I can't wait either Jimi. I love seeing films about events that happened during my lifetime. Should be good.

I saw the producer of the film talk about it on The Daily Show. Looks really interesting.

I found this article online too, it's a great read: http://variety.com/2017/music/news/d...ic-1202511526/

I loved the fact that "Jimmy Mack", which Martha & The Vandellas never got to perform at the Fox Theatre because of the riots, actually gets a play in the film!

Martha is on a roll! "Nowhere To Run" is featured in "Baby Driver" and "Jimmy Mack" is in the story line of the new "Detroit" film dealing with the 1960's riots

Yes, good read Tom. It would be good to read the recollections of Dramatics Willie Ford and Larry 'Squirrel' Demps [[who quit the group to go into teaching) of the events of Detroit 67.

Squirrel talks abut the riots on the Dramatics Unsung thread on the main forum!!
