A great tribute for the recently departed Mr. Levi Stubbs, Obie and Payton.


So far they've released DVD's on ...
Marvin Gaye (2 different DVD's)
The Temptations
Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
joint venture for Diana Ross & the Supremes
Otis Redding
Stax/Volt Tour
Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions

This DVD was done by Motown and Hip-O Records instead of Reelin' in the Years.

Looks great, definitely worth getting!

Just got my copy today, it's great.

I got the Marvin Gaye one. Still gotta catch up with the rest of the series. Especially The Temptations and The Supremes.

Would be cool to have a J5 DVD with better quality footage from the 1969 Miss Black America Pageant.

Miracles
