Steve Mancha Tribute Grave Marker Dedication

Steve Mancha Tribute Grave Marker Dedication

Steve Mancha tribute Grave Marker dedication

Dear Soul Source people, we have received a message from Melvin Davis in Detroit and the Marker for Steve Mancha's grave is being dedicated and laid in place tomorrow.

Melvin sends his thanks to all who contributed to the Steve Mancha memorial fund in the appeal in 2011 on Soul Source. As Melvin says "If it was left to Detroit to do this then we would still be waiting and Steve's grave would have been left un-marked"

A small gathering of Steve's friends will attend the dedication, along with a film crew and press and local TV. Melvin is saying prayers and will publicly thank soul fans from around the globe who contributed to the fund.

Both myself and Ady wish to thank everyone who helped us to achieve this, surplus funds after all costs were given to Steve's mother, who is in a nursing home herself. There is now a permanent memorial to one of the finest voices ever to grace 45 rpm records. RIP Detroit legend Steve Mancha

see,...this is what happens when mutual enlightenment prevails. people, willing to put aside their hardships and woes, or whatever personal predicament they have...or just purely out of human kindness and compassion and a devotion to the music and the artists they revere....final fitting closure and a place that can be visited and be instantly recognisable for future generations of pilgrims to the city who want to pay homage. this has been a just cause for steve mancha and his family...it should be the same for all of our unsung hero's, so here's to hoping that both uriel jones and lou pride gain similar and swift dedication.
