Posted April 6, 200718 yr Just wondering if Rosalind Ashford - Vandellas and Jack Ashford - Motown percussionist were brother and sister. One or two other Ashfords around I know but I am particularly interested in these two. MB
April 6, 200718 yr might be wrong but don't think they are. Jack born in Philly and Rosalind was a Detroiter.
April 6, 200718 yr Thanks. Been looking at a picture of the first Tamla Motown tour to the U.K. in 1965. Rosalind A and Jack A are standing plumb next to each other. I wondered if it was a bit of "family camaraderie" - but maybe just a coincidence. The picture is not that clear but there is no obvious family likeness. MB
April 6, 200718 yr Silly me - hadn't realised that there is a biography of Jack Ashford available. Click here From the Review: "touring with Motown acts at home and in Europe, freezing and starving in English hotels " I wonder if that relates specifically to that 1965 tour. It seems to have been plagued with problems. MB P.S. Copy just ordered.
