October 12, 201014 yr Hi Rob Nice read. I see Jimmy Holland just about every time I'm in Detroit, he would love to bring the Holidays over to the UK, but every time I've mentioned it to anyone here no one has shown any interest, shame really. Dave
October 12, 201014 yr you've gone and done it again Rob.....enlightened us all .....really enjoyable read
October 12, 201014 yr Rob--you know how much i.ve admired your scribings over the last 20 or so years,and this is up there with your best. Cheers for the education Tony C.
October 12, 201014 yr Agreed, well done Rob, fascinating reading, i recall Edwin Starr being interviewed by Richard Searling on a local radio show 1983, talking about Golden world and tales of tapes been rolled down streets etc !!!!!!! Brett
October 13, 201014 yr I'll be forever on a learning curve Rob from personal perspective, thanks to such informative scribings....Keep up the good work....wilxy:hatsoff2:
October 13, 201014 yr Another great read Rob, you should put all these together in one book I can't see the pictures here btw?
October 16, 201014 yr Very informative Rob, you've certainly done your homework, going to have to read it a few more times ( too much to take in at once ) regards Pete H
October 19, 201014 yr Thats brill Rob,it goes to show just how much competition was held back to prevent other artists hitting the big time.You can understand why the Supremes needed protection,they wernt all that good,well not in the recording studio anyway.Gilly
October 22, 201014 yr fantastic read....we learn so much of this side of the tracks from you....thanks
October 24, 201014 yr Superb. The bit about Edwin Starr's 'denial' of the Holidays is more than interesting. A mild case of egoitis?
October 24, 201014 yr Author Thanks everyone. It means a lot to me that people I respect enjoyed the piece. Currently working on an article about the Hamilton brothers based on an interview I did with Ronnie Savoy several years ago! Really struggling to find photos of any of them, from the time, if anyone can help. Desperately need shots of Ronnie, Al Kent and Bob Hamilton.
October 31, 201014 yr Brilliant piece of research Rob ,great read again into the history of 60,s Detroit music Love, Peace & Happiness Always Ian Cunliffe
November 9, 201014 yr Great read Rob - thanks for all your efforts to tell us the full story - what a minefield - always loved 'How's your new love treating you'. Cheers Adam.

May 23, 2024May 23 I always find it fascinating to learn about the personalities, the politics and the background to records I actually own . The Debonaires: Headache in My Heart, the fabulous girlie dancer produced by George Clinton. The lead vocalist was Diane Logan to “How’s your New Love Treating You” , a ballad good enough to stop traffic and getting lots of spins these days. Now I also know how Edwin Starr became the lead singer on the Holidays track: I’ll Love You Forever. Thank you for an excellent and informative article.
