August 10, 201014 yr Another great informative and worthwhile contribution by Rob. Sometime I go through articles and highlight some of the names or tracks that may be of interest. If I did it with this one think its fair to say that the whole page would seem to be full of bold text! if viewing the forum version, check out the front page version, as per normal from Rob there's some great photos to accompany his latest words.(click on the images to enlarge)
August 10, 201014 yr excellent, this fills in a lot of holes about previously unknown groups, thanks for this
August 10, 201014 yr Wow what a great read over breakfast that was. Hats off to you Rob in giving us such a succint and informative piece. Demonstrates 'what a tangled web they did weave' back then and gives food for thought on the 'stories' behind ALL our little bits of plastic. Great stuff sir:thumbsup:

Great stuff sir:thumbsup: Just the sort of articles I like, full of facts. I agree with you Jez. We often take for granted those little black discs. which have so many "real life" and often tragic stories behind them. For me, listening to any Jack Montgomery tracks from now on will never be the same but in fact "heightened" due to a little background knowledge.
August 10, 201014 yr Hi Rob Nice job mate, great info and cool you share it with all. Just a note Buford 'Fab' Glanton, went on to record as David Lenyard and was also a member of Four Real Inc. all of which came out on Flying Eagle. He still lives in Detroit to this day, but has suffered from poor health for many years.
August 10, 201014 yr Fantastic read. I will forward this to my friend Odell Jones of the Steptones...he did not remember to have cut "I`ll Never Forget You" when I first asked him about it. Marc
August 10, 201014 yr Excellent and just proves the worth of documenting this stuff before it's too late. The part relating to Marvin Jones-Jack Montgomery is tragic. It looks like people did turn their back on him, for him to take his life in such circumstances. Like Arkwright, those records of his will take on another dimension for me now.
August 10, 201014 yr Informative, impressive, compelling and inspired! A marvellous job for which I take my hat off to you!
August 10, 201014 yr Rob, Nice one, again! It's amazing, given what has happened to so many, that Jay Davis remains in good health and maintains his enthusiasm...........................that hit is just around the corner................ John Jay Davis, Detroit 2009

March 25, 20187 yr Hi Rob. Hopefully this may help with the 'Tempos' Biography? I bought these 'AFTRA' (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) documents, signed by 3 members of 'The Tempos', Bobby Sanders, Billy London and Bobby Mac. I am finding it really difficult to find out much more about the bands career. If you find out anything else about them, could you please let me know by PM, as I am trying to piece it together to display with the 'AFTRA' documents. Thank you. P.S. I also bought 'AFTRA' documents signed by Leon Heywood (1966), and Marlena Shaw (1967)
