I have it on an unmarked tape reel. It's called "I Gotta Cover a Whole Lotta Ground." I put it on a CD I'm giving away in exchange for a pledge to my listener-supported radio station. You can hear it here: https://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?show=30593...tarttime=0:38:0 Full info about the radio station and show on the media board, under "WFMU news."

Thanks, Haydn! Tell Beethoven the news.

Friends, colleagues, soul fans, music geeks, vinyl fetishists, "Downtown Soulville" listeners: It's that time of year again, that annual fortnight when I come to you, Alpine hat in hand, to beg you for money for the great radio station that I am privileged to have been able to call my home base since 1994: WFMU. WFMU is 100 percent listener-supported (i.e., we accept no government or corporate funding and aren't beholden to The Man in any of his nefarious guises). It's a gem of a station with lots of mind-blowingly fantastic programming (try Kevin Nutt's "Sinner's Crossroads," Thursday nights at 7, or Rex's "Fool's Paradise," Saturday afternoons at 1, if your mind needs a good blowing). Once a year, we ask our listeners to give something back. It's a simple symbiotic relationship: We play you amazing music all year long; you fork over a little green to keep that happening. The money we raise covers our operating costs. Our goal this year is $1.2 million. And we make it worth your while by giving away all kinds of cool prizes and premiums. This year I'm offering a CD I've assembled called MO' SOUNDS FROM MO' SHADOWS OF MOTOWN: 26 SOUL OBSCURITIES ON TINY DETROIT LABELS. It's volume 4 of my never-ending effort to document a bit of the greatness of under-the-radar soul 45s from my hometown, and it's yours for a tax-deductible pledge of $75 during my show. At the risk of sounding immodest, I'd say it's essential listening for all residents of the greater Soulville area. Do you listen to podcasts of my show? Those are available thanks to the generosity of our listeners. Has a song you've heard me play on the radio made you dance around the kitchen with your toddler or your cat? Your pledge pays for our transmitter upkeep and makes that possible. Are you a record collector in a foreign land who's heard me play something obscure via our live stream or our archives and subsequently decided that you simply must add that 45 to your collection? Please consider making a donation--and I'll do my best to ensure that you add a zillion more items to your wants list in the coming year! Please bear in mind that as of this June, I will have been providing you with soul for FIFTEEN YEARS! Care to offer the station, say, a hundred bucks a year as thanks? Don't worry: We're happy if you can spare just $15, too. (Special message to New Yorkers: We especially need you this year, as it's our last chance to pay for a transmitter booster that will enhance our signal in Manhattan [!] and Brooklyn.) Thank you for all past and future pledges. Your devoted soul slinger, Mr. Fine Wine SEE MUCH MORE INFO AT WWW.WFMU.ORG PLEDGE ONLINE ANYTIME AT WWW.WFMU.ORG or call 800-989-9368 My Marathon shows: Friday, March 6 Friday, March 13 7 to 8 p.m. U.S. Eastern time (I'll also be cohosting Rex's show Saturday, March 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. and Michael Shelley's show Saturday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

is that you singing, mike?

so what's the story with this one: gsf white label promo 6902 "i'm your pimp" b/w 6891 "my hang up is you" styrene label looks fairly convincing i thought the boots of "i'm your pimp" were short version/long version?

A DETROIT TIP FOR Y'ALL: When you're at the Motown Museum, if you point your head eastward down West Grand Boulevard, you'll see a tall, green-topped 1920s-era skyscraper called the Fisher Building. Its lobby is a must-see. It's one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the U.S. (and therefore in the world). It also has a great shop on the ground floor called Pure Detroit where you can stock up on Detroit souvenirs. Seriously, don't miss it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Building

anyone know the timing of the fairlane release of this song vs. the detroit one, by othea george on soul? totally different writing and publishing credits for what's obviously the same song....

anyone have another copy for sale? i need one too. thanks, m

okay, i have it in my hand right now. it exists. b-side is "i need you."

i have the little roger hatcher. i've played it on the radio, but not in years. i'll try to dig it up. i also have sonny green, not little sonny green, doing something called "people talking about me" on fuller, not a detroit label.
