Hal is a Genius Drummer. What a legendary Career. What feel and technical /musical expertise! Whew! Just brilliant stuff. Any drummer looking to learn how to make a song "happen" just has to listen to Hal Blaine's drumming. He'll show you the way! Thanks Hal!

Here is part of a 2/18/2002 (2:03 P.M.) post on the Soulful Detroit Forum: "[...] I'm Billy Wilson President of the Motown Alumni Association.[...] Carol did play on a few lesser know recordings at Motown . . . and I do mean LESSER KNOWN! [...] From 1964 to 1968 the company only used Jamerson." Note that that last sentence contradicts that Frank Wilson page, on which Andrew Rix describes Kaye as one of the "regulars" in L.A. as of '65. (cont.)

Note that Billy Wilson presents himself in the 2/18/2002 post as knowing who played bass on every 1964-1968 Motown recording. (!!!) Now check this out from the same post: "The Motown Alumni Associaton provides information and gives assistance to entities such as the Library Of Congress, the Smithsonian Institute, Motown/Universal Music Group [this is people like Harry Weinger] ,Rythum & Blues Foundation, Motown artists[...]" Should we be surprised there's a Kaye-is-a-liar myth?

Quote from Armin Steiner, Mix magazine interview with Maureen Droney, 2001; compare it to Frank Wilson who was there -- and then to Billy Wilson, and to the Kaye detractors' myths: "From that moment on, word started traveling. Motown got interested, and I was busy all the time. I had Glen Campbell, Billy Strange, Tommy Tedesco, Dennis Budamir, [...] Ray Pohlman[...]. Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer, Joe Osborne, Larry Knecht[e]l[...]" (cont.)

"[...] Bill Pittman, Mike Deasy and, of course, Carol Kaye.[...] I used to have The Supremes up there, Marvin Gaye — my mother used to cook for them. Stevie Wonder was in when he was 9 years old. People think I'm making this stuff up, but it's true. As a matter of fact, I did a film session with Stevie awhile back, and he remembered both me and my studio. It was a different time, a different place. You couldn't do that kind of thing now, the city wouldn't allow it. I mean, it was all illegal."

Those with enough true interest in Motown, google "lost my athletic scholarship after participating in the civil rights sit-in". This is from that page about Frank Wilson of Motown (& note "regulars"): "The[...] musicians for [a particular late '65 Motown session] were pulled from the studio regulars that included Billy Strange, Glen Campbell, Hal Blaine, Al De Lory, Carol Kaye and Tommy Tedesco.[...] As far as it can be established the tapes were dispatched to Detroit [in] November 1965[....]"

Quote from Frank Wilson of Motown from that page, which says "Frank Wilson March 2009" near the top: "Gordy came out several times [to L.A....] [W]e were taking [him] to the airport[...] and he said, 'What makes you think you can produce?', I said, 'Because I've been producing much of the stuff that you've been hearing'. So he turned to Marc [Gordon] and Hal [Davis]. He said, 'Is that right?' And they said, 'Yes, that's right'." (Matches very well with claims CK made to me JNS about 8 years ago)

More from that page re Motown producer (etc.) Frank Wilson and his peers (who don't include Slutsky, who never attended any '60s Motown session or met Jamerson or Benjamin): "When Berry Gordy decided to open a West Coast Motown office, following his visit there to attend a disc jockey convention in 1963, he asked L.A. veterans Hal Davis, and Marc Gordon to take charge." (Matches what CK's been saying publicly for years -- frequently resulting in scornful reactions from her energetic detractors)

John seemed like such a nice person. The people of the world should be thankful that they ever got to even see his face! I mean think about it, think about what the world would have been like without those guys, it would have been A LOT different. I mean, they did so much good in the world and then someone had to go a head and murder one of them? HOW THICK IS THAT?!
