This would make a good 'double headed visit' worthwhile...assuming it happens, and within my lifetime! Founder LaMont Robinson and his board members, have discovered a site that could potentially be the new home for the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame Museum. This site is located less than a half mile away from the Motown Hitsville USA Museum. A city-owned building on West Grand Blvd., which was the site of a former nursing home. Cheryl Ruffin, Vice President of the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame and the daughter of the late great David Ruffin of the Temptations, also chimed in; “this would bring such a major economic boost to Detroit”.

The Poor Souls-'When My Baby Cries'

hasn't Wayne Cochran got to be int there soewhere? maybe i'm outta date?

I do think Takis became Rafters. And guess what...I think Colin Curtis did a DJ stint for a while?

I'm pretty sure TOTT, Takis and Rowntree's were all owned/run by the same family

i remember 'Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys'- The Equals...shaking the place to pieces about 1971. TOTT- right next door to Spin Inn where i got my B&S mag's from.

Thanks Nicola, but it's the flip written by Tom DeCillis(I'm the Girl') i'm after.

Hi anyone help with a soundfile/youtube of 'I'm the girl', R1514B ( the flip of Marion Stewart's 'The man I love') atb

As much as I also cherish the nostalgia…and respect the views here…Has everything become so sacred that a simple NS Pastiche is getting most of us hot-under-the collar? Being chased around ‘Stolen from Ivor’ in the M/CR Arndale on a Saturday afternoon before kick-off was what did that for me.

Yes the list (as it appeared in the Motor Town Review) is less than half the SUE UK discography.

there is one on JM presently

I was rummaging through my stuff for a future Connections thingy I was preparing…and got side tracked with my copy of ‘From Hitsville U.S.A. -The Tamla Motown Show’. In particular, the SUE Records list (as scanned). And thought, what is the rough value of all these today? (as sold). I applied these simple arbitrary ‘rules’… Where it was listed on Discogs, I took the Discogs Median value for each Where the Discogs Median wasn’t listed, I took the lowest Discogs price for sale (if there was one). There was 6 (Six) of these Where there was neither 1. or 2. I took the most recently known price (e.g https://www.popsike.com, www.rarenorthernsoul.com, https://collectorsfrenzy.com, etc). There was 7 (Seven) of these. Where there was neither 1. 2. or 3.- I took it as 0 (Zero). There was only one of these. £1634. Hope you find it interesting?

Hi Roburt, was the Salford (Venue) one in Little Hulton? rings a bell, but maybe for a different reason!

great watch...thanks for sharing Rob

It's a bit of fun...please take it as such. Can you add any to the list?

I guess you may already know this, but Daryl ( and John Oates) have history with most of the musicians coming out of Philly, and the respective studio's of Sigma, Virtue, etc. They both played on Electric Indian 'Keem-O-Sabe' 1968, Marmaduke ( as well as others sides) with what most folks regard as " The Philiadelphia Funk Brothers"

This might have done the rounds as a topic, so forgive me if so. What record would you have wanted your favourite Northern male/female/group (dead or alive) to have covered- that is Non-N.S. Maybe (...only maybe) exclude some obvious one's e.g. Beatles/Lennon & McCartney, etc. P.S. thought it a bit more light hearted than recent topics
