It's too bad they don't have those "Super Oldies" Classic R&B shows in your area.You would go crazy over these concerts! I've seen the Delfonics a few times,and throughtout the years I've also seen...

Barbara Mason
Barbara Lewis
Deniece Williams
The Intruders (all new members)
Tierra
Malo
Evelyn King
Mary Jane Girls
The Dramatics
Blue Magic
The Stylistics (lead singer STILL sounds great)
Billy Paul
Al Wilson
Gene Chandler
War
The Temprees
Bloodstone (these guys are at almost every show,lol)
Rose Royce
Peaches And Herb
The Larks
James and Bobby Purify
The Gap Band
Roger and Zapp
Anita Ward
The Floaters (they sucked)
Barbra Lynn


The Delfonics don't sound as good as they used to,but they still put on a pretty good performance.I also recall the time Barbara Lewis performed,and she was totally off...lol...but you gotta love her.

"It seems like a mighty long time...shoo bop shoo bop my baby"


I can't wait to go to the next show.

i'm not sure if Russell Thompkins passed away,but he was definitely performing with the group in 1996,which is when I last saw them.The next Oldies show won't be until February (usually around Valentines Day),but if you can make it out here,I'll get you and your lady a few tickets.

Russell Thompkins is alive and well. He sometimes posts on a forum at www.soulfuldetroit.com. With Studio legends like Bobby Eli and Bob Babbitt.

It's an informative site in addition to the Org.

It's a wonder you can hear him amongst Dennis Coffey's zillion guitar tracks. lol

Cryin' shame about William Hart's voice. Quite a classic. nod

My dad took me to an oldies RnB concert about 2 years ago. It was the Dramatics, Temptations (Dennis Edwards group), and the O'Jays. I was only 15, me and my sister were the only youngin' their.

Hi again,

Dennis Coffey also posts on www.soulfuldetroit.com from time to time with Mr. Eli and Mr. Babbitt. Dennis has a new book out. More info is at the site.

I guess you could post over there and say "Hey man, turn your s*** down and turn up the bass on Scorpio."

Uh, I mean "Hi, Mr. Coffey. Are there any chances of you putting out a remastered version of Scorpio?"
