View full article

Wow, that's some read, kudos to you too Lorraine and Dave

Excellent acolade to a group who never achieved the stardom or recognition they deserved

thanks Lorraine & Dave.

Great piece Dave and Lorraine.

 

A question: was Louvain's husband Max Demps related to Larry Demps of the Dramatics ?

 What a fantastic read, loving this H.O.F. My kinda stuff love it. Many thanks

An excellent read.....truly fascinating. Thanks Lorraine and Dave

Great Read,Very Enlightening

Well done...excellent piece...never knew that the ladies backed Jackie Wilson on "A Lovely Way To Die".

 

I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering as to why Alan Slutsky didn't give more than a passing nod to them in his movie/documentary (appreciate it was about the Funk Brothers), and as to why nobody has yet to do a TV programme on their career...they always provided an angelic chorus!

I think their omission from the latest documentary '20 Feet From Stardom' is an even bigger aberration in my book!  The story of the role of backing singers... without the most prolific and successful of group of them all!?  Just doesn't make any sense at all.

Totally agree

Superb piece! That voices only version of Just Ask The Lonely never fails to bring tears to my eyes every time I hear. Talk about a heavenly throng! 

Great article- glad to see the group getting some recognition !

Great article really enjoyed reading it .

Thanks to Dave and Lorraine for your efforts and to the Andantes for their heavenly vocals.

Great read.

 

Thank you.

another great read dave

 a superb tribute to a truly integral part of That Motown Sound. Praise has been heaped on the Funks instrumental tracks to me they are empty and hollow without the majestic vocals of the Andantes .mucho gracias.

GREAT POST.

 

They put the SOUL INTO MOTOWN.

 

 Thanks Girls for so many Great records.

 

KEEP THE FAITH.

 

Kev Bruce. 

Great piece Dave and Lorraine.

Sunnysoul,

 

Spoke with Louvain and she said there was no relation between Max and Larry.  She's asked that constantly and even gets calls regarding that.  They only share the same last name.
