Where did this first go big ? Wheel ? Mecca ? Cats ? Torch? Wigan ?

Ian, are these simply two different versions of the same song recorded by Levine with Ruffin ?

Roburt - are you sure that photo is the Revue from 1966? Looks as if it from a couple of years earlier . https://books.google.com.au/books?id=OzmFCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA281&lpg=PA281&dq=bill+murry+fow+theater+detroit&source=bl&ots=ItaohWfbEw&sig=1CNNtS7_kKRK8c3wsDt8-6pt0a0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIl5XcpKbLAhUMmJQKHfzRDwAQ6AEIPDAG#v=onepage&q=bill%20murry%20fow%20theater%20detroit&f=false

Roburt, master bass player Tony Newton appears to have been virtually completely omitted from all the Funk Brothers' histories and eulogies over the years yet he was as much a central figure as anybody in the Motown sound in the early and mid 60s as bassist together with James Jamerson . He traveled with the Motown Review band which toured the UK in 1965 as the bass player in Jamerson's place because Berry Gordy needed Jamerson to stay in Detroit to record. That's him you see on bass behind the artists in the Ready Steady Go Motown Special from the time. He was also bassist and music director on the road for Smokey and the Miracles right through the early to mid 60s. In the later 60s he moved to Invictus / Hot Wax with H-D-H and played on many of the companies's biggest hits and formed and became the central member of the 8th Day along with Melvin Davis after the group had its first hit ; the group as we know never existed until the first record became a hit. I was lucky enough to meet him and have a chat when he toured Australia in the early 90s as music director for Thelma Houston. Up til then - like everybody else - I had believed that the Motown sound had been purely down to the usual 6 or 7 names mentioned: Jamerson, Benny Benjamin, Earl Van Dyke, Jack Ashford etc so I was stunned when he told me he that he had played bass on countless actual hit recordings like Stop In The Name Of Love , Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love. I diplomatically asked him how could that be and he proceeded to explain that on many of those hit recordings Motown employed two bass players playing at the same time ! As he explains in his autobiography it was actually him AND Jamerson playing together on those hits, Jamerson playing the low parts and Newton the high parts. His autobiography makes interesting reading .... https://www.tonynewtongoldthunder.com/

Anyone confirm Mary Davis on Conclave is the same Mary Davis who went on to front the SOS Band ???

Does Hayley have the rights to Sharon McMahan's version of Where There Is Love ?

The Constellations have become such an iconic group on our scene but I can't recall ever seeing a photo of the guys. Until now, It was so good then to have stumbled on to this great Soul Sauce column in Billboard Magazine 1 June 1968 with a photo of the group and their record "I Didn't Know How To" on Gemini Star nominated as Billboard best new record of the week ! https://books.google.com.au/books?id=yQoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA25&lpg=PA25&dq=johnny+gilliam+singer+r%26b+soul&source=bl&ots=g8XUNjjx8K&sig=d-oBnaU74VizCzRc2Ji1qN0ZqrM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiAxf-e8-7KAhUD5qYKHeKoBDsQ6AEIJTAC#v=onepage&q=johnny%20gilliam%20singer%20r%26b%20soul&f=false Also some other interesting bits in the article: Lou Rawls jumping on stage at Aretha's gig in London and doing an impromptu 20 minutes of "Respect" with Aretha. And Johnny Gilliam starting an East Coast promotion tour for his first Kent release ... it also mentions that he was The Marvelettes musical director and guitarist since 1964 !!!

Never issued in OZ / Australia in 7" single format.

Yes indeed: anyone got one for sale ?

Thanks Roger for re-posting the original issue but what does the " second " issue (ie boot, so to speak) of "That Girl " look like ?

Great Robb but what about the change in songwriters ?

Apparently Lana was the first release and then the record got picked up by Ed Wingate for Golden World ? Composer credits also change from Popcorn Wylie & Williams to Bob Hamilton & Freddie Gorman ? !!!
