    It must have been amazing to have played a part in the incredible Motown story. Bertha thank you for the part you played in bringing the Velvelettes together. RIP Bertha

    A real hero of the Northern Soul scene. JJ could have bragged about becoming a Motown artist but his first love was always Mickays, Ric-Tic, Gooovesville and Revilot. Motown recorded him but that material stayed in the can for many years until it was saved by the Northern Soul scene. This one is from Revilot 222 and was first recorded by Darrell Banks. JJ was right up there with the best. RIP.

    Robert was still living in that house when I visited him there in 2001 and 2005. He was a gentleman as this photo clearly shows. September 2001.

    The house was owned by Robert Bateman. The “b” in Hib represents his surname.

    I found this image on a Detroit Riots video. The owner, Ernest Burt, staggered downstairs and exited the door on the right after being shot. He managed to reach his car but died moments later outside 8912 Grand River Avenue.

    Fred Bridges (of Brothers of Soul) took me to this building, on Oakland in Detroit, which Wingate and Bratton used for rehearsals prior to the building of their future studio on West Davison. https://soulfuldetroit.com/web12-fred-bridges/fred-bridges-text/index.html Click “menu” then “Wingate and Bratton” to find image.

    If you have ever visited this sad but amazing place I should think is unmissable.

    Forgive me, but some of these prices are ludicrous.

    On my first visit to the Wheel in January 1970, I got off the Glasgow train in Manchester Victoria and headed to William Smith’s stall where I found two beautiful Inez and Charlie albums. Never forgot that moment. RIP Inez, one hell of a singer.

    Oh well then. Hope the rest of your day improves!
