    You are most welcome Dvus. Yes, Obie Benson was in the service when this picture was taken. His replacement at the time was Thearon Hill, who actually recorded a few sides with the group until Obie returned.

    This group went through quite a few changes before their fame. In the begining, there were actually five Pips and three of them were girls - Gladys, her sister Brenda and their cousin Elanore. I'd love to see a picture of that grouping. Here is another of Gladys with four Pips.

    After they changed their name to Love Tones, they sang on a couple of Mary Well's songs. Also, Mickey Stevenson of the Melodeers went on to do A&R for Motown

    That's it, you got it! Yeah Mickey! Mickey Stevenson went on to be Motown A&R man and husband to Kim Weston. He is second from the bottom in that picture.

    Yes I believe Berry and Robert are the last two survivors as George, Fuller and Pops Gordy have all passed on now.

    I don't know exactly but it looks like they were heading out on a "Motortown Revue" tour.

    Here is a very rare candid of Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder from the early 60's. It gives you an idea of just how "glamourous" being on the road was for black performers in those days. Check out the guy lighting his cigarette from some else's :

    I did a lot of theater and backstage areas look that way for all races. They are dumps and owners never spent a nickel to do anything that wasn't code or in a star's rider.

    I can't believe you all are still posting pictures, even with Ralph's recent request. This looks like another lawsuit waiting to happen.

    Thank you rob.

    Marv doesn't bother me; I've learned to ignore his rants. He adds absolutely nothing to any conversation at SDF. I do wonder though why he still is allowed to bully on an open forum. I'm no lawyer, but if I were a moderator here, I'd worry less about a lawsuit on copyright and more on a lawsuit for defamation or libel.

    With that said, I am officially requesting Marv to quit harassing me.
