    The photo of Darlene Huff is one of a few I have of her that were taken at the same gig. Also appearing that night were Shorty Long, Johnnie Mae Matthews and Ortheia Barnes. I got the photos from an old photographer - they were up in his attic with loads of wedding snaps etc. The envelope they were in is marked 'Blues' and also has her name written on. This may mean they were taken at a club called Blues Unlimited, which was at 11003 Kercheval - further up from Ben's High Chaparral.

    I'm not sure if I have posted this clipping here before. It's from 1967...

    I've not found any 45s by her but maybe she sang background. She also performed at the Chit Chat. She certainly looked the part.

    Wilbert started Correc-Tone Recording Company and recruited Detroit's finest talent, but financial and chart success remained elusive. The recordings live on, though, and he and Yvonne talk about the good times and bad, with additional clips of interviews with songwriter Don Mancha and singer Theresa Lindsey.

    Glad you liked it, Robb ... and Wilbert almost signed HDH; it makes you wonder what could have happened at Correc-tone. I knew Willie Kendrick hung out at Correc-tone and was friends with Yvonne. Willie remembered Stewart Ames recording at Correc-tone and did think about including that bit in this video, but I hope to edit Willie's interview(s) soon.

    Detroit Files: Major Reynolds Interview - Tri-Sound and Amazing labels Frustrated that Ed Wingate wouldn't sign up any of the local talent he was auditioning for Golden World, in 1966 Major decided to create his own recording company. It was the start of an expensive and mostly fruitless venture in the music business, but the recordings live on.

    Detroit Files: Ronald Davis Interview Ron's songwriting career was short but sweet and revolved around CorrecTone recording Co. The first song that got recorded - Gino Is A Coward - became a hit when released on the Ric-Tic label. Ron got disillusioned with the recording business and who knows what would have happened if he'd joined Motown as was proposed by Mickey Stevenson.

    'Mike Hanks was a true pioneer of R'n'B is remembered by his wife, Gracie, and some of the people, such as Johnnie Mae Matthews and Joe Hunter, who worked with him. Mike's career took in the birth of Soul in the late 50s as well as Detroit's heyday as a recording center.'

    Detroit files: Fred Bridges of The Brothers of Soul interview (Bridges, Knight & Eaton) Reposted for reference and navigation ease 24 Dec 2023 After a couple of solo records in the early Sixties, Fred teamed up with Robert Eaton and Richard Knight - The Brothers of Soul. The trio had some success, but their 45s should have sold more and after listening to them, you have to wonder what went wrong.

    Reposted for reference and navigation ease 29 Nov 2023 Robert was at Motown almost from the very start and his bass can be heard on early Tamla recordings, many of which he and Brian Holland had a hand in producing. He left Berry Gordy and set up Correc-Tone, where he launched Wilson Pickett's career, which then took him to New York.
