  1. no but the dance was just as cringeworthy.
  2. The Birmingham Cavaliers. Birmingham was where they were from, their place of birth. It was in Cleveland where they formed a group initially called the Cavaliers, they only sang locally, auditioning for the major acts that came through Cleveland hoping to get a deal. Sometime later, Milton Jenkins offered to take them to Detroit and renamed them the Primes.
  3. The Cavaliers came from the guy who put them on eBay, he got all the stock from the DC booking agency, prior to that they hadn't been seen before. The group from Birmingham was Kell Osborne, Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks as you will know from the Kell Osborne story I wrote for Kell. But they didn't record so can be discounted really.
  4. She was on strictly, not very good.
  5. I'm not having a dig at you personally. If someone is answering your question differently then they are full of sh*t or taking the p*ss. Its like saying to someone they can't play their national release of Al Williams on Palmer they paid over a grand for.
  6. Records are worth what someone is willing to pay, they either sell or they don't. If they don't then the seller has to have a rethink or keep the record.
  7. I dunno why you're even questioning this, both original in their country of release. What is difficult about this? I've read through plenty of the responses on this topic and I'm wondering if they are one big p*ss take? These topics and the responses, from all sides of the argument, are becoming embarrassing (IMO of course).
  8. I have a photo of the Salvadors, might have two. They are on stage.
  9. FFS they are all original! Some of you lot on here need to get a grip, how long you been collecting?
  10. Definitely not legal.
  11. Martha Reeves On Tour View full article
  12. Martha Reeves has announced new dates for shows in the UK in December. Having completed a four year run as a member of the Detroit City Council, Martha is back on the road full time, making sure that no one ever forgets the Motor City! The UK tour dates are: Sunday, December 16, Oran Mor, Glasgow "¨Monday, December 17, Norwich"¨ Tuesday, December 18, The Concorde2, Brighton "¨Wednesday & Thursday, December 19/20. The Jazz Cafe, London,"¨ Friday, December 21, Eric's, Liverpool (tickets can be bought just for the show or with a full Christmas dinner at a separate venue.) Box Office 0151-236 9994/ Ticketmaster "¨Sunday, December 23, The Robin, Wolverhampton Lots more information is available about Martha at her website: >>>>MISS MARTHA REEVES<<<< It was 1962 that Motown's Artist and Repertoire Director William “Mickey” Stevenson first heard the voice that would become synonymous with "the sound of young America." A young jazz/blues singer with the unlikely name of "Martha Lavaille" was bringing audiences to their feet at Detroit's famed 20 Grand Nightclub singing songs made popular by singers the likes of Gloria Lynne and Della Reese. He invited her to audition at the new Motown Records headquarters, "Hitsville, USA." Though the audition never happened, within a year, Martha had taken the reigns of the company's A&R department, ingratiating herself. She saw that musicians showed up on time and got paid. She watched, learned, and whenever opportunity presented itself, she sang. And when she did, everyone took notice. When Mary Wells couldn't make a session, Martha was called to the mic. With her group, the Del Phi's, she recorded "I'll Have to Let Him Go," and Martha and the Vandellas was born. The song was rather forgettable, but Reeves' sound wasn't. While waiting for her first hit, Martha (along with Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard) backed Marvin Gaye on his first three releases and sang with him on stage. Soon, however, they emerged from the shadows with "Come and Get These Memories," followed by an enviable string of hits: "Heat Wave," "Quicksand," "In My Lonely Room," "Nowhere to Run," "My Baby Loves Me,", "Love Makes Me Do Foolish Things," "I'm Ready For Love," "Jimmy Mack," and, of course, the Motown anthem, "Dancing In The Street." After leaving Motown in 1972, Martha continued to expand her musical horizons, establishing herself as a singer-songwriter with few limitations. She sang rock, jazz, country, gospel, blues and classical. Her singing companions included everyone from the Godfather James Brown and the Boss Bruce Springsteen to opera diva Beverly Sills and gospel king Rance Allen. She headlined a national touring company of the musical "Ain't Misbehaving," and for three years toured the UK in the musical review "Dancing In The Street." Martha Reeves continues to thrill audiences around the world. Her self-produced 2004 CD, "Home to You" was named one of the year's best by the Asbury Park Press. In 2005, Will Smith mined the Motown vaults to uncover her unreleased gem, "It's Easy to Fall In Love," and included it in the hit movie "Hitch." Also in 2005, Motown released Martha's "Lost and Found" collection, which included the rare Smokey Robinson-penned "Spellbound," her studio recording of "For Once In My Life," and covers of hits by the likes of Aretha Franklin, the Marvelettes, Vikki Carr, Sam & Dave, and the Four Tops. She was also featured in the PBS special, "Motown: The Early Years," writing liner notes for the four-set CD package. A "Gold" collection was released in March 2006 and "The Definitive Collection" in 2009. (Her 1968 "Live at the Copa" remains in the vaults, but we hope for a release in the not-too-distant future.

  13. Motown Alumni Association View full article
  14. I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the Motown Alumni Association? It is a site dedicated to the whole Motown Family. Although it isn't affiliated or part of Motown it does a lot of work for the acts and people who gave the world some wonderful music and memories. From the major acts, to the minor, lesser known acts, from Berry Gordy to the receptionist. The Association does what it can to remember the people who helped create the label. As well as the website and facebook group it now publicises a bi-weekly magazine, readable on line or it can be purchased as a print copy. To read the first two issues go to: http://issuu.com/billywlson To view the website go to: http://motownalumniassociation.webstarts.com/index.html

    Didn't Cecil tell the story of this recording once upon a time. He definitely told the story of his part and other bits about the group.
  16. I was joking....haven't you read all the fuss over "I was born to love you" ?
  17. Sorted mate, it was Johnny Wyatt "Any kind of love".
  18. Cheers Ed, it's been doing my head in that, I could kick myself
  19. Have you tried Luckey, he probably has new one.....
  20. As far as I'm aware no one earns royalties on a second hand record regardless of the cost?
  21. Cheers mate. I don't have the record but found a brief clip on line and it did sound like Soulmates. Do you know the cover up (I think it's a cover up) of Kebs, Danny White "Send me your love"?
  22. Would it be Adam Djing Dave, can you take a listen when you get two minutes, 45 minutes onwards.
  23. Cheers Mr Flynnster. I was writing down basically what Gary says and as that is an actual record I didn't question it.
