The orange Carrie issue is quite hard (£200-300) The green Carrie is a reissue that label owner James Hendrix put out from Nashville.Recorded in Detroit at United Sound using the usual top session men (I've got a list somewhere!),both sides were written and produced by Melvin Davis. Another great record with the same pedigree is Clifford Binns 'You've got to help me' on Orange and green Carrie.

Sad news just received that my friend Emmanuel has passed. One of the truly good guys and one hell of a voice. His Thelma recordings rank of some of the finest performances ever, as well as his other material for a variety of labels.His gentle manner and personal warmth will be long remembered and greatly missed.

Canadian radio and television has a rule that a proportion of their playlists HAVE to be home grown talent. To qualify, two of the four conditions in the MAPL circle at the top have to be certified to count as 'Canadian Content' . R.Dean Taylor is Canadian, and co wrote the song, which would be enough for it to count. The record was issued in the mid seventies on a light blue label to allow other 'foreign' (ie American Motown recordings) songs to be played on radio.The Temptations' 'All I need' also qualified this way, and assisted radio play, as Taylor is credited as one of the writers.

Mark I have a black Canadian issue if that's any good? -
There is a very comprehensive book called 'Off The Record' by Reg. Bartlette which lists EVERY release. Manifesto have copies for sale I believe.

Joe was there before 'Popcorn' who came with his Mohawks! His band included Mike Terry who told me that he was the only player kept when Popcorn and the Mohawks were let go.Someone else (can't remember) also told me that 'Popcorn' had a violent discussion with Berry Gordy, or at least that's what it sounded like from outside the room! It certainly explains why such a talent as 'Popcorn' had no involvement with Motown until the seventies.
-
It wasn't 'Ivory Joe Hunter' who played on the Funk Brothers tour but Joseph E. (Joe) Hunter. You'll find the latter's name on many great Detroit recordings too - particularly 'Pied Piper' material. He was one of the first keyboard players at Motown.

Where Were You & What Were You Doing When You Heard The News?
Rob Moss replied to a topic in All About the SOUL
I always find it amusing, and pretty sad, that so called fans of Otis don't even know how to spell his surname. Does this mean that they don't actually own any of his records? Otherwise, presumably, they would know. -
I don't think the original tape box had names on it, thus the imaginative moniker! It did come out by the Willows on MGM as"My kinda guy" written by Robert Selig and Eddie Reeves not the 'Fletcher' on the Kool Kat release. Similar tempo and a good dancer.

She'll be performing it at the Northampton Weekender in May.
-
Is "My mechanical man" by Leah Dawson on Magic City about a dildo I wonder? She certainly sings with gusto about her little friend!!
-
Will Motown stop at nothing to re package the tried and tested, well known oldies and re sell them to a gullible public? Don't believe the bullshit. Most of these tracks are on cheap cds available at your local supermarket. And who the hell is Freeman, and perhaps more importantly...who cares?
-
The song is called "Where am I going". Kim Weston's version is on her latest Motown cd. "Anthology".Check there for writing credits etc. I suspect the song is from a film.
-
'Sweet' James Epps is THE MAN. Never made a bad record and is sorely missed.
