I had always heard that Mickey McCullers was a friend of Smokey's, and Smokey brought him into Motown to record him. I never saw anything in print about him. Never saw a Motown bio, in-house, or any bio on him in print, or on The Internet. I did see a photo of him somewhere inside Motown. I never heard of him having appeared as a singer at any venue in Detroit, nor seen a venue poster of him. During the early '60s, sometimes several Motown artists appeared locally at the same venue. A few times, an obscure Motown artist appeared with them, who was not enough of a name to travel with The Motown Revue on tour. But, I can't remember Mickey appearing with other Motown artists in such a situation [[where Tommy Good, La Brenda Ben. Hattie Littles, and even Johnny Powers did).
