Just recived some sad news from Detroit That Percy Williams from The Metros is in Hospital fighting Cancer , Prayers to Percy and Family .

I had the pleasure of meeting Percy during my visit to Detroit in 2005. A lovely, unassuming guy who took time out of his busy schedule to spend time with us and tell us about his time with the Metros.. Wishing him a speedy recovery back to full health

Mick

Been a member on here since 2001, possible says less with re-vamps, not sure !!

This is the first post I've made, simply because I haven't the time to respond in the way that I want to all the brilliant posters on here !!!

So i've been what you call a lurker, digesting all the posts and info that you with alot more knowledge than me have , and I'm so glad that you are passing that knowelge onto me. Ooh if the internet had been around when I was 17, in those days we were (or should I say I) glad to know who sang the record not where it came from, what studio it was produced in or what obscure label it cameout on. What bargains I missed on Bradford Market !!! because unlike today I didn't know these facts.

Anyhow just reading this about such a person who has brought me so much joy has brought me to finally say something !!

The last loss that touched me so much was Weldon McDougal III, through this site and Soulful Detroit I felt as though I knew him. Can't believe he was in London and well last July.

My prayers are going out for Percy, and hope he comes through his 7hr operation
