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.

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

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 !!!!!!!

I'll be forever on a learning curve Rob from personal perspective, thanks to such informative scribings....Keep up the good work....wilxy:hatsoff2:

( too much to take in at once )

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

fantastic read....we learn so much of this side of the tracks from you....thanks

Thanks for this history....really great read!

Superb. The bit about Edwin Starr's 'denial' of the Holidays is more than interesting. A mild case of egoitis?

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.

Brilliant piece of research Rob ,great read again into the history of 60,s Detroit music

Love, Peace & Happiness Always

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.

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.
