The Tempest Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 My parents were at this tour in 1965 - I was lucky enough to have two sixties mods as my mum and dad - Glasgow Odeon - April Fools day - they went with some friends - to the performance - it was brilliant and full of energy but the theatre was dead ! My mum always remembers how young Stevie Wonder looked - only 14 at the time ! She always comments how I would of loved it !!!! 1
Tomangoes Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Great clipping...mixed revues! I'd go along with the Georgie Fame comment...should not be on the same stage! As you say, it must have been great to see them live as the records were just being turned out. Ed
Soul Cargo Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, yes it does seem a strange combination. In the 70s we went to see either the Temptations or Gladys Knight and the Pips in Manchester. I can't remember which it was, but the support act was The peddlers.

I'm working on a BBC2 documentary about this tour and I was wondering whether you or your parents might be interested in having a chat about it? Would love to hear their thoughts on the show! Let me know!

Let me know! Have you touched base with Keith Rylatt ? He featured the details of the Tour heavily in his book 'HITSVILLE - The Birth of Tamla Motown' .. and spoke to a lot of those who attended Andy 1
