I never knew Gladys and Co were a Motown act until I came here. Whatever happened to Buddah Records? What other artists were on their label? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Were they even at Motown 25? That's mainly because like the Isleys, they had success on other labels and already established a reputation that Motown's homegrown artists were trying to build. Other Detroit acts like the Spinners, however, had to leave Motown because they wouldn't give 'em the time of day, that's why they went to other labels. | |

The Spinners were on Motown?!  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

The Spinners were on Motown?!  For like a good seven years, they only had two pop hits there (and probably 5 charted R&B). "It's a Shame" is a Motown classic, thought ya knew, bruh.  | |

You know this subject burns my ass. Boy, the perfect example of the human condition at it's most F'd up. Berry didn't see no talent, he saw the almighty BREAD. Funny thing is, he went bankrupt in the mi-50s when he sold those Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins records,,,,which is why he adopted the vulture attitude he's known for. Another thing, he didn't want to be just another "house nigga" for the mafia(which ALOOOOOT of black business men/entertainers back in the 50s/60s were hounded by at the time). The song Money(Thats What I Want) wasn't just his 1st random musical statement, it was a prophecy. [Edited 10/12/09 14:19pm] | |

Boy, the perfect example of the human condition at it's most F'd up.[/quote] He wondered why alot of acts had to be begged to do stuff for Motown after they left, cheating people out of royalties and their publishing (Like a certain family group who he had relinquish all rights), ripping artists off....a list can be made "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

[Edited 10/12/09 14:19pm] That's fine but to qoute DJ Quick, "Damn, kick it"... the can is in your court". There was so much more money to be made and had if he hadn't got caught in his own Napoleon complex drama. There's not one reason why he should not have been a billionaire, none. The same tried story: Death Row Records, Vee-Jay, Stacks, Solar, we can't get out of the way of our ownselves. What really surprised me, (unless he a damn good actor) Mr. Gordy seemed truly hurt when artist/musicians started jumping ship including the ones he ignored. Go figure. ===== [Edited 10/12/09 14:45pm] | |

Bboy-does that family group's name start with "D"? If so, how did he get them to give up publishing? Isn't that illegal? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

That was an open secret. | |

When I was coming up, it was accepted fact and no one batted an eyelash over it. I always wondered why-not that anyone should have gotten the vapors "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

kitbradley said: scriptgirl said: Anita is nasty? since when?
Since always.  I live in Michigan so I know a lot of nasty stories about Baker. Again, she makes Diana Ross look like Mother Theresa.
I read the whole story about her fued with Luther. I can't recall if it was part of David Nathan's "Divas" book or if I read it in a magazine. But, yes, Luther was making it very clear that he did not care for Anita at all because of her attitude and disrespect towards him. [Edited 10/11/09 17:22pm] Anita Baker has lived a pretty bad life,especially her childhood and she's pretty bitter about it! The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission.

Yeah,unfortunately,Aretha has always felt threatened by other female singers.Just a few years ago,she made a big deal when Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as "the queen"  I heard a story that she once saw Gladys Knight in an airport,Gladys said Hi but Aretha totally ignored her.Beyonce know better than that shit, to call Tina Turner the Queen! I'd have ignored her ass too.The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission. Should ONLY be accessed in the privacy of your mind.
