The Supreme. i did have to think about getting this cd, but i gave in and went for it, i dont think flo is lost, she will always be a part of a great group and never forgotten. the songs are iam affraid just not good enough for her voice,i do know its the 60s but i think she should have been given much better songs to sing, so the cd for me was a big let down,but she still has a good voice and you can hear how down she must have been with her lot in life.for me not one song stands out, you have to get past the supremes to really listen to this cd and take her as just a good singer, so in my book she is not lost and never will be. if you are thinking about this cd do get it and you will have to listen to it many times to see it for what it is. ...

By the end of the sixties Motown's sound had softened considerably. The gritty grooves that had previously held sway had largely been sweetened to a more AOR radio friendly mix, with larger orchestral flourishes and extra instrumentation. The artist was generally at the mercy of the producers as to how their record would sound. Marvin Gaye was no exception and was becoming increasingly unhappy with being at the hard end of the production line.

It is noticeable on M.P.G., released in April 1969, how on some tracks the drums have been mixed down and his vocal placed forwards in the mix. The recordings, produced by Norman Whitfield, Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter, George Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Henry Cosby, Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, unsurprisingly ... Read More:

The story goes that Martha Reeves was yanked from her secretarial chair to fill in when Mary Wells had cancelled a session at short notice when she and the Vandellas, named after Van Dyke Street in Detroit MI and the torch singer Della Reese, cut their first group record in 1963, though this incident is elsewhere placed in 1961, even before they had backed Marvin Gaye on his first hit, Stubborn Kind of Fellow. 
By 1965 when Dance Party came out the Vandellas were Betty Kelly and Rosalind Ashford, both from Detroit. It contained, along with their B-sides, the timeless classics Dancing In The Street (turned down by Kim Weston), Nowhere To Run and Wild One, all of which had already been big hit singles. One of the B-sides, There He Is (At My Door), dated from 1963, having ... Read More:

In 1999, Soul Diva Diana Ross released her first studio album in over four years. The album had been her most carefully conceived projects in a while and was over a year in the making. There are several producers to credit including Zavy Kid, Ric Wake, Steve Skinner and Daryl Simmons who were all established producers in the R&B genre.

The opening track is the triumphant, He Lives In You which comfortably steers Diana onto a gospel path. Diana sounds stunning and is backed by an effective South African orchestra and backing singers. He Lives In You perfectly complimented her legendary status and though had a strong commercial appeal, remained hidden away on this set.

The Diane Warren ballad, Love Is All That Matters is a sparkling ballad with Diana delivering ... Read More:

Music : Motown Mod Fave Raves - Volume 1
It is a great testament to the skill of the musicians, singers, writers, arrangers and producers of forty years ago that these Detroit production line models of disposable pop should now be awarded classic status and be so much in demand. This and its companion volume, lovingly compiled for the English market, is subtitled 20 Collectable Modernist Soul Classics and are the floor filling sounds that echoed and spinned inside the Mod clubs in the mid sixties, made by acts such as the Miracles, Martha and the Vandellas, the Contours, Eddie Holland, Marvin Gaye, the Marvelettes, the Temptations, Chris Clark and many more.

Northern Soul was something different, although there are overlaps. These are all highly contagious dance tracks, with clattery trebly beats, pumping bass rhythms ... Read More:
