So Michael and Raymond were in Rare Earth

is this true?? Come on be honest..to goodness!! :thumbup:

:wicked: 'Tis true.

I went on the hunt once for a Mike & Ray - If Only You Knew, one website link led to another, and before long I knew all about Mike & Ray laugh.gif I keep that bit of trivia lodged in my head, hoping one day when I bump into this fella that 'BORES' me to death with soul trivia that I may just get my own back :lol:

Anything by the Commodores, Debarge, Jackson Five. Sorry if anyone likes them, but not my cup of tea.

Suz :lol:

I'm with you with Debarge, Suz. Just awful! And yep the Commodores would have to be heading that way. If only for Lionel's hair. Lovely guy, but what's with the do? :thumbup: Think they called it the 'wet look' way back when. huh.gif:wicked:

Circa 1964 Pop/R & B crossover stuff was the order of the day.

So a Supremes album with covers of "British Invasion" groups (Beatles/Gerry & the Pacemakers/Animals/Dave Clark Five) probably seemed a good idea at the time.

The result was "A Bit of Liverpool" Tamla 623 ("With Love From Us To You" TML 11002 in the U.K.)

IN RETROSPECT - BIG MISTAKE!!

Below just one example - you will see what I mean.

Mind you those outfits they are wearing on the cover always make me smile. I think came from a set of photos taken when the Supremes came to the U.K for promotional appearances in 1964.

Ray Odis (i think) - Randy the newspaper boy on VIP :D

Started to try and collect all the VIP releases at one time and ended up with this - Oh the joys of label collecting.

Got an awful feeling it had something called 'Happy Ghoultide' on the other side. Must check when i get home.

To be honest your getting on my bloody nerves,with youre stupid posts ,sick to death of seeing "webby bloody dublin"

Bazza

I like Webbydublin posts, at least he has a go at keeping things going. :ohmy:

But I also wish he'd taken the time to read past threads because 90% of them have already been done. :shades:

mainly by me. whistling.gif

Never heard them (& I don't wish to) but the Albert Finney album & the single featuring "Granny" off The Beverly Hillbillies cannot be part of Motown's finest moments.

My personal hate is "Tune Up" - Junior Walker, I thought you were supposed to do that before you start recording. biggrin.gif

Irene Ryan (Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies) appeared on the album for the Broadway show Pippin, released on Motown. From memory she died soon after.

What!!! Wasn't Albert Finney a serious actor,as for Granny,not too sure..Are you messing

here? :shades:

P.S. Tune Up is rubbish but 'What does it take' is brilliant!! thumbup.gif
