Instrumentals
NO ONE TO LOVE no not that one,it is a sweet Motown thing I have on tape and always thought is there a vocal to this,i even wrote some lyrics out for my self,took me many years to discover its the backing to an LP track by Tommy Good of the same title.Brill. Already mentioned but if some one was to ask me to name an instrumental that is typical of the Detroit sound I would answer Never in a million years it just oozes with Detroit

Canadian Northern - Definitive List?
There is quite a few on Canadian labels.REO SPARTON, QUALITY.Some of the harder ones like Stienways on Sparton or Ben Aitken (satisfied) on Canadian Warner Bros as apposed to Loma (makes sense Loma were owned by WB )There is a lot of Detroit releases on Quality and if I remember correctly Reo housed a lot of Motown.

Quality Control (Or Lack Of It)
I think if you use Motown as an example just imagine what was taken into the Monday morning evaluation meeting,so many good products from each of the writers/producers and not all of them are gonna be voted as a potential hit,some have to fall by the wayside (remain in the can).I often think when I hear a previously unreleased song what the hell beat that on the day.I guess when it comes to the small companys money will be drained for them to take it a stage further.Great topic thou

Keb Darge
Keb,having read your post Nicola and I are not that surprised,when this storm hit and the world found out about it I said two things about yourself if you were amongst this utter carnage you would if anyone come out of this ok under the circumstances,knowing you for a long time I knew that you would be helping others rather than yourself.Many years ago you gave me Buddy Smith that took some taking on board,it all seems small time in comparison to what you've been doing this last month or so.You are an inspiration to the human race Keb (wouldn't mind betting you will be the Mayor soon) your still welcome to have a bath round ours as always.We hope your post finds itself in a national news paper.You and your wife are top men(you know what I mean) Gilly and Nicola
