February 23, 201312 yr Really enjoyed reading that Andy - what a great story Thank you for all your determination and effort to get to the bottom of one of Detroit's more intriguing Northern secrets. Cheers Richard
February 23, 201312 yr once again andy, you deliver, chapter & verse...that had to be a fascinating conversation with a melancholy outcome...i can imagine she must have been overwhelmed, along with her family, hearing the recordings after long decades of being without a copy let alone remembering what the songs sounded like. i think she did a great job and her attributes should be respected...you have managed to dot the i's and cross the t's..as only you can do...and yes, it is a brilliant tune, typical of the underdog, making a pitch in the shadow of motown,..one seriously rare record that slipped through the cracks but as a result of its lease of life across the pond, has effected a heartwarming story.
February 23, 201312 yr senior moment coming up...did Genebro ever release it cos as i see it margaret has the only copy. good story though.
