  1. Mike Terry left Motown in 1967 and he was definitely on it so it was cut in that year. Melvin confirmed this too.
  2. Melvin Davis played drums on it and Mike Terry played the bass sax.
  3. He co wrote and produced 'I'm stuck on my baby' and ' Why do you treat me like you do' for Irene and the Scotts too.
  4. Very sad to report that legendary Motown bass player Bob Babbitt passed away this morning. He played on thousands of Motown and other Detroit label recordings, as a member of the Funk Brothers and as a session musician around the city. He will be sadly missed. added by site http://www.bobbabbitt.com/about.htm As Bob's reputation grew, so did his recording schedule. One frequent employer was local R&B producer Ed Wingate, who owned Golden World studio. During this period Babbitt first came into contact with some of Motown's moon- lighting musicians, including keyboardists Joe Hunter and Johnny Griffith, guitarist Eddie Willis, drummer Benny Benjamin, and-most important-bassist James Jamerson, the troubled genius... "Working at Motown was the hardest thing I ever did, because I always felt like I was in the hot seat," he sighs. "I cut 'Touch Me in the Morning,' 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered,' 'Smiling Faces,' 'War,' 'Tears of a Clown,' and a lot of other hits for the company (see discography), but I never felt.... Bob got the opportunity to make a once-in-a-lifetime artistic statement on Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On. "Marvin and [arranger] Dave Van dePitte basically left us wide open to create," recalls Bob The full informative and recommended article can be read here http://www.bobbabbitt.com/about.htm

  20. Ed Wolfrum played me some backing tracks that Berry Gordy produced at United in the early 1970s for a film soundtrack he was working on. The Funk Brothers were the musicians and Mike Terry arranged all the tracks. One of them was the backing track to the 'Gloria Shannon' song. No idea who the vocalist was ...but it is definitely a Motown track. Apparently the Universal vault keepers are aware of it too which is amazing. Surprised they haven't gone after Realside ...but then they probably aren't even aware that it came out!
  21. Yes it's definitely him. When Ed first showed me the photo and said 'You know who that is?' I had no idea. 'Uncle Ed' sure had a presence!
