yes great dvd got one of these from frances a few weeks ago when in detroit, met up with frances a few times all i can say a wonderful lady. the dvd covers mostly of frances life in the music industry some great footage from "footsteps following me" and of course frances talks about motown and her single "keep on loving me" and she also talks about her film project. all in all great dvd

yes popcorn a great person this pic was taken a few weeks ago around popcorns house.

TED THANKS FOR UPLOAD, I GOT THIS ON THE ALBUM BUT FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS IS, ITS NECK AND NECK WITH MARV JOHNSON ALTHOUGH I STILL LOVE THE VAN DYKES VERSION ITS BEHIND THESE 2 VERSIONS MAYBE ITS THAT MOTOWN MAGIC.

i would say marv johnson then temps, then van dykes

I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WITH AJ AND DON MANCHA A FEW WEEKS AGO IN DETROIT.

THANKS SIMON FOR UPLOADING THE FILES. NOW LISTEN TO MARV JOHNSON VERSION LISTEN TO INTRO (DRUMS) MARV DOES A WONDERFUL JOB WITH VOCALS. IAM NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE THE VAN DYKES VERSION ITS STILL A TOP TUNE AND DANCER BUT FOR ME MARV JOHNSON

what version do you prefer -- save my love for a rainy day THE VAN DYKES THE TEMPTATIONS MARV JOHNSON UNDISPUTED TRUTH I know the van dykes came out on mala but i think marv johnsons version just edges it for me with his vocals and intro on this version. does anyone know who might have recorded this track first.

I WON A 45 FROM THIS SELLER, PAID FOR ITEM BUT NEVER RECEIVED THE 45. EMAILED HIM A FEW TIMES AT FIRST NO REPLY, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE ANSWERS SAYING THE 45 WAS SHIPPED OUT. THAT HAS BEEN MONTHS AGO AND STILL NO SIGN OF THE 45. I DO KNOW THINGS GET LOST IN THE POST. THATS THE TROUBLE IF THE SELLER HAS SENT ITEM IVE LEARNT TO INSURE THE BIGGER PRICE ITEMS JUST IN CASE THEY DONT SEND OR THE ITEM DOES GET LOST THAT WAY I CAN PUT A CLAIM IN AND GET MY FEES BACK. HAS FOR GRADING THE 45s EARLY ON IN THE MONTH I WAS IN DETROIT AND GOING TO DEALERS HOUSES AND GOING INTO THE SHOPS,THERE GRADING IS A BIG BIG JOKE MOSTLY THE 45s WAS IN A VERY BAD AND POOR WAY AND ON THE SLEEVES IT WOULD STATE MANSHIPS PRICE FOR THE 45. WHAT THEY DONT REALIZE THAT WHAT JOHN PRICES THE 45s ARE 100% MINT UNLESS STATED, THEN YOU ASK THE SELLER WHATS THE LOWEST HE WILL TAKE HE THEN TAKES ABOUT A 3RD FROM JOHNS PRICE-- THAT POINT YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE 45RPM YOU HEAR NOTHING BUT CRACKLE AND POPS YOU TRY AND EXPLAIN THAT MR MANSHIPS PRICES ARE FOR MINT 45s AND THE 45 THEY ARE SELLING ARE NO WHERE NEAR JOHNS PRICES.

Just a quick story about this. first of all i never heard of this track, early on in the month i was in detroit, to cut a long story short this 45 was passed around from one to the other and nearly ended up in the bin, i stated you throwing that away- the reply was yes any good to you, even though i did not know this i said yes. now on my return back home and unpacking the 45s i came back with i was there cleaning them all up and playing them on my turntable i then came across this rufus wonder 45 and for some strange reason i decided to put this with a pile of other 45s and not been to fussed to listen and clean. but only this week i was sorting some 45s to sell and then came across again i then decided to give it a spin-- WHAT AWESOME SOUND all i could think of was the great escape " that bin in detroit" and no guessing where it is now - in my dj box.

Dave is right there are 3 of them.. i will be in detroit in october and will be visiting ivy jo motown singer and writter at his home, i will ask him dave about that wingate question. Don't stop loving me is awesome another great track is "where are you". he also did a version of "I'll always love" you which i play now and then. ivy is a great singer and songwritter. last time he was over i gave him my copy of dancing in the streets so he could get it gold plated.

Andy B love the pic of the circles. that group came just 5 mins down the road., and the pic on sleeve was taken outside a pub 1 min from me called " the lamp taven.
