About this deal

A complete transformation in sound. A lush, sweeping, melodic Philly style of production. The string sounds now mirror and further emphasise the vocals. Far more sparkle and cool, elegant pizzazz.

When the REFLECTIONS dvd were released years ago, I remember thinking that it was so dry compared to those issued on the Tempts, Four Tops, and the Miracles which at least had those still with us participating. I still think a great AMERICAN MASTERS or a mini-series done by say, Ken Burns, would be great.What's interesting about Diana to me, is the question of "how often does she have the opportunity to remember?" What I mean by that, is how often does she get interviewed and get asked in depth questions about the Supremes or her solo career in general? How long was Betty actually in the group? From 1959 to 1960? I can't imagine there was a lot of action in those early years; probably a handful of "performances", at best. Saturday Brunch was a VIBE! We sat on the heated patio and had us a GREAT time! The R&B music was on POINT! I have never felt the full potential of this song has been realised in this production. It comes over as a bland, so-so song, and which takes too long to reach the chorus. The lyrics are uneven on some lines, and don't smoothly fit the music. A higher key would help get the message across, and I'm not entirely sure it is a most suitable song for Gladys's voice. More percussion needed, also echo.]

There was an interview with Cal of the Primes that I ran across a gajillion years ago where someone got him on record talking about the early Primettes days. The only thing I can recall is that he was quite fond of Florence and I think he said they had a thing for a minute. What I've always wanted to see is photos of the early years, when there were 4 Primettes/Supremes. We've seen, what, 10 pictures over the years? Surely more exist.The ladies have all given the impression that from the first performance on, the Primettes worked pretty steadily. So I would expect Betty to be able to give some insight into that time. This was my first and last time visiting this restaurant. I've lived in the south for well over 16 years, I'm west Indian and I've also enjoyed authentic Louisiana cooking. I can throw down in the kitchen and I've enjoyed great southern food as well. Let's just say this however was not that. Talk about a disappointment. With a name like "Louisiana Creole Gumbo" me and my stomach were expecting delicious authentic food. This restaurant is also a nightspot with events several times a week. Nested in the heart Detroit’s eastside, Southern Fire Bistro and Lounge has become staple for upscale dining and parties and has a strict dress code which they describe as "no effort, no entry." Southern Fire Bistro and Lounge recently completed a fresh overhaul. The redesign features ambient lighting, lovely padded seats, and updated modern décor to set the mood for any intimate dinner or party. Flood's Bar & Grille

WE" just AINT the same no more. On SO MANY LEVELS. EVERYBODY just wants to CUT corners& hurry up & HALF DO everything.. Of particular interest to Motown fans are the previously unreleased songs and mixes included on Discs 21 and 22 such as "My Eyes Adored You" recorded whilst with Motown. "Stop, Look, Listen to Your Heart" is the Stylistics song and I believe will surpass the version by Diana and Marvin. Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers - I Can't Help Myself [[Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) [[Single Version) With food set up buffet style behind steamy glass, Motor City Soul Food is a Detroit favorite. The Seven Mile location is the original and some say the best tasting. The macaroni and cheese here is some of the best in the city. Try the baked turkey breast and candied yams too. Me & My Girls Soul Food By Autumn 1964, the new "Motown Sound" was on fire as one hit after another simultaneously burned its way up the charts while boasting a HOT new style! Mary Wells' "My Guy", The Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", and "Come See About Me," Martha & The Vandellas' "Dancing In The Street", Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Loving" and "Without The One You Love", and The Marvelettes' "Too Many Fish In The Sea" paved the way for an exciting new phenomenon that would soon set new standards for Pop & Soul music globally!i wish we could get George to continue the amazing discography he did for Randy's last book, going into details about every album. have him do the 70s Supremes albumsThis forum is full of fans whose posts are mostly feelings colored by bias, including mine. While there is certainly some documenting that occurs here, especially when people like Susaye or George drop in, it doesn't take the place of an in depth examination of the group's history. There's a ton of stuff we fans just don't know. By March 1965, in addition to the above titles, I had managed to add Martha & The Vandellas' "Wild One" 45 and The Temptations' "Sing Smokey" album to my burgeoning Motown record collection. By now, I had come to recognize the various elements of Motown's style. I was soon put to the test! Does anyone know why the world "Golden" was removed from the name San Remo Golden Strings on UK Tamla-Motown releases? The first thing I noticed with those Marble Arch releases was that it was the San Remo Strings and not the San Remo Golden Strings, but it looks like all or at least most the UK releases of the Detroit San Remo Golden Strings material changes the name. e.g. " You've got to pay the price" was for years credited to Al Kent because Al was the vocal artist on tbe A side. It got me thinking on the other tribute songs recorded and released by Motown which reference Motown, Berry Gordy, other Motown artists, and of course - Detroit!

But🤷🏾‍♀️ THATS what *I* get for going somewhere to get something to eat. I KNEW BETTER!! I KNEW "WE" cant cook anymore, & I had BEEN STOPPED trying these fake "SOUL"_ food restaurants ---- because---much of Randy's books are relatively unbiased, his first and third being the most balanced IMO. if you take all of the books and piece them together, you probably have a fairly accurate general history. There were CD issues of "That Motown Sound" and "The Earl of Funk" as part of the Motown 60 celebrations - these were Japanese issue. I could go on, there were about a dozen things that disappointed me about an otherwise amazing meal. But crummy service is exhausting and so is writing a negative review. https://www.discogs.com/release/3257...-Strings-SwingHi "nsoule". Good question! This is also the reason why I was confused over who the artists were for these various releases. In fact, Discogs list the Marble Arch LP "Around the World" as by the San Remo Golden Strings, even though the cover only states San Remo Strings. So when I was sorting through the Detroit group's releases, I noticed that there was a similar difference between the American and British names. Flo is gone. Barbara is gone. Mary is gone. Cindy is incapacitated. Diana my very well be unwilling to participate, same with Jean. Lamont Dozier is gone. Harvey Fuqua is gone. History lives and dies with these people. Time is of the essence, even for some of the family that was around at the time.

i'd bet my bottom dollar there isn't a single video of the Primettes. that type of equipment was just not readily available for the average person. and none of the venues they played were of a caliber that would have had that set up, much less to have used it on the Ps. Visit Detroit has compiled a list of some of the best soul food restaurants in Detroit and to make it easy for you…we've ranked them by price point.

But then, I'm doing this on a laptop, so I can use multi-screens, and listen to the music while also being on SDF. And of there were various touching tributes to Gordy family family members such as 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday' and 'Pops, We Love You'. Eddie Holland wrote about the car accident in his book. I believe it took place in early 1967 in Florida, but I could have the details wrong. I think the accident ended up messing up the recording schedule. I'd have to re-read the book. I can't remember the exact details beyond Flo and Diana being in a car accident and having to be hospitalized and I'm almost certain it was 1967.
