Phil D. once had the highest rated show on TV. As soon as he made it known that he was against the war, his show was pulled. Does a TV buttwork pull their top rated show because the host is anti-war? Kind of reminds me when Eartha Kitt was blackballed after she spoke out against the Viet Nam ...

That's not true at all. Buttered Popcorn was never pulled. If it was, it would have never appeared on "A Collection Of 16 Original Big Hits Vol. 2". It was an earlier take that was withdrawn, but the released version of "Buttered Popcorn" stayed in circulation.

Hey, you really ought to learn how to upload a track. You don't leave 2 and a half minutes of blank space after the track is finished.

Mary was actually the first lead singer and she could turn heads! I've always loved Mary and always will. Flo, on the other hand, showed no mercy with Sam Cooke's "Good News". All three of these ladies were lead singers, even while in the background. One of Diana's greatest early vocals for ...

Yeah, it's Diane Renay. The photo was taken on Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars in 1964 at the time "Where Did Our Love Go" hit. Allow me to correct the lead singer on the Marvelettes' version of "I Want A Guy". It's Wanda, not Gladys. It was more suited to Wanda's sultry style and she did put h...

This one appeared on 2 b-sides: One in 1965 (A Bird In The Hand) and the other in 1966 (These Things Will Keep Me Loving You). Lovely song--The Velvelettes should have had an album or two. But then so should Kim Weston.

The long version of this track is on "Motown Sings Motown Treasures" clocking at 3:29!

I remember this side getting a little airplay, not as much as "Take Me In Your Arms", but L.A. jocks gave it a spin or two. Kim was huge at my house, all right. She didn't have any L.P.'s at the time, but those 45's were always spinning.

Kim wrote different lyrics to this, releasing it on the B-side of "A Thrill A Moment" in 1965l It was called "I'll Never See My Love Again". This recording was released on "Greatest Hits And Rare Classics" in the late 80's. Smokey later recorded it on "Smokey's Family Robinson" with an entirel...

Hey, you're great! I can't get anywhere near there. But you're right, it's all luck. it's so frustraing I've learned to cuss all over again! I'm still languishing on #54. Oh, well.

TR stands for "Trinity"

Actually this was the b-side, wasn't it? "And That Reminds Me" was the one I heard on the radio. It is available on "60's Girl Groups" on Warners. The year was 1966. It was released on their Loma sub label. Another great tune on that label was "God Bless The Girl And Me" by the Enchanters. ...

Always loved this tune. First heard it in '64 on "A Package of 16 Original Big Hits". Love the Tempts' backing vocals! The B-side, "Sunset" was also on the album.

Haven't heard this in awhile. Thank you so much for posting. This came out in the mid-eighties on an album of "unreleased" material recorded by various Motown artists. Unfortunately, the album was never re-issued. Most of the songs have appeared on later discs, but not this one, nor the other...

I certainly switched parties and I urge everyone else who agrees with Paul to make this change NOW! It's interesting that the Church ran the medical system--something that we were CALLED to do. We should get back to doing what we're supposed to do and stay OUT of damnable neo con politics.

Tried to look up reviews on the album where this is from. No luck. Guess we'll have to buy the album to find out who the girl is. It's from "Ride The Lightning", released in '02. This band got by me for some reason, and I was really paying attention in those days.

A very difficult song to sing. I'm no singer, but even if I was, it would be hard. This was my introduction to E.G. back in 1999. That's 12 years ago. (Those who know best have compared them to Left Banke and Fairport, which is about right. Early Fairport, though. Certainly no later than '6...

This is by far the best version I've heard of this song. You should re-mix everything from Spector's vaults! Great job!!

Don't know why this wasn't released as a single, cause I think it would have been their biggest hit. It was always a party favorite, plus the Lovin' Spoonful covered it on their first album and that's important.

There is a longer version of this with no fade. It was on 'The Tamla Special' album. The backing vocals sound suspiciously like the Miracles, but it could also be the Rayber Voices. There isn't any documentation on it, not even in the Complete Motown Singles booklet.

Yeah, it was the fall of 1965 when I heard this song for the first time. It's the B-side of "My Girl Has Gone" with the exact opposite message. Great lyric, shoulda' been an A-side, but oh well. Whatever happened to those days when we got two great songs for the price of one? I agree too, tha...

DoughboyWWI: The first tune is "Show Me the Way to the Fire" and the second is "San Antonio Rose" from the "Firehouse Five Plus Two Story". It's a two disc set that's still available to this day. That's how timeless this great band is. Hope you get this message after all this time.

Willie John was born to sing. Had one of the greatest voices of all time. Love to hear Sister Mable, too. That's a singin' family there.

The 'Essar' album spawned two important singles, one of which you are hearing now. It is an up-dated version of a song Smokey wrote for the Four Tops back in 1966 called "Then" from their 'Four Tops On Top' album. The second single was a radio edit of 'I Can't Find'. This is not to be confused...

Can't wait till Hip-O gets around to this album in the 'Smokey Robinson Series'. One of my very favorite albums by the greatest songwriter of my era.

Thank God the majority of the tracks on this album were released, on various collections, in their original mixes!!

This is one MG record I don't have. How on earth did I miss this one? This could have followed 'Hitch Hike' easily as 'Pride and Joy'. How about those Vandellas, too!

P.J.: It was indeed recorded for the 'Moods' album but there wasn't room. Bobby Scott had recorded a few tunes to be held back for the 'Vulnerable' album. Three of those tracks showed up on 'Moods' when "Vulnerable' was scrapped. The album was also slated to include 'Pretty Little Baby' becau...

I often wished Tammi would have been on this track, but it wasn't to be. Ashford & Simpson had a way with a song and turned out to be a strong songwriting team. R.I.P., Nick.

Yeah, this was a good album released in the summer of 1968. I remember being knocked out by his version of 'Grapevine', which at the time, was just a track becuase the L.P. was built around the hits 'You', and 'Chained'. Turns out when 'Grapevine' was converted to a 7", it was his all-time bigg...

They also turned Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston's "It Takes Two" into a great reggae mix. Look that one up if you haven't already.

What a single this was. Another track from Moods of Marvin Gaye, summer 1966. It was re-mixed and released the following year giving it a brighter ambiance. I call it the 'piano' mix for obvious reasons. Much better than the album track mix. It's also about 40 seconds longer. Don't know how...

This has got to be my favorite Marvin Gaye album. (Moods of Marvin Gaye) Wore it out so bad the needle played the other side backwards. Summer '66--what a year.

I see this is a brand new post (it is the 8th of September I'm writing this). The Funk Brothers were a big part my past. I first knew them as Earl Van Dyke & the Soul Brothers in 1965. (They weren't allowed to print "Funk" on the label). The Motortown Revue In Paris was a popular album in tho...

Good rendition, but Kim Weston still owns it.

This happens to be the U.S. version. The British version was slower and more stretched. Both are very good. I also have the U.S. mix of "See My Way", which doesn't fade out like the U.K. does. Just wish I knew how to upload music. I'd be doing all the time. This was one of those albums wher...

It's on record, I'm afraid, that the backing group here is The Supremes. Man, they rule!!

I liked it! Motown was competing with the Beatles at this time, trying to do something they hadn't tried yet and it usually worked. In this case, it got the Supremes yet another #1 record. Man, they whipped everybody like they stole somethin'!!

Sounds like this was before the Andantes were dubbed in. Man, those Tops could harmonize!!

MTV's got nothing on this guy!! Maybe we should all make our own videos and send them in. Then we'd all watch TV. Wait...on second thought, this one's got too much talent for TV. Great Job!!!
