Yeah erm, many fine female soul singers out there, not sure Martha has ever been one of them. Saw her on the swons doc and she was terrible, I mean really awful.
Sorry, sad but true.
1962
Love some of these early numbers. Takes up the slack for some of those awful modern tunes!
How many Showmen tunes pre 63' I wonder ...?
Great thread.
Yeah only other one one I've seen went for about £170. But that was May last year and it wasn't a picture cover.
BTW anyone know what year this Roy H ditty is? Early I think 57'?

I wasn't at an age to care when DG was penning his columns. Though I know people are gauged by their overall contribution. I admire him for coining the phrase. I admire him for forming the UK Tamla Motown Appreciation Society. And I admired him for things like meetings with Berry Gordy that Diana Ross wasn't privy to.
A flowery yawn-worthy writer, but a leg end all the same? And Esperanto! What the fcuk's that all about?
They were a bit spesh imo, Ruffin vocal - my girl ... the way you do the things etc. The dancing. Biggest selling male group at Motown - they had it all.
