I received a call from Katherine Schaffner yester- day checking up on how things are in Florida be- cause of the hurricanes. Kat informs me it is Inkster High School that is presenting the group with a gold disc for "Please Mr. Postman" on, I believe, Nov. 13th. As far as the Vocal Group Hall of Fame award, she says the dates have been changed two or three times. She's not sure when it will be right now, but states if it's on or near Nov. 13th, she won't be there. Also, all the surviving members are being invited to receive the gold record. Amazing that Motown did not do this over 40 yrs. ago. Yet, they did give the Miracles' a gold record for "Shop Around" and THAT didn't top the charts. So, this now leaves "Playboy", "Beachwood", & "Don't Mess With Bill" that should probably be gold too. Come on Motown... |

I will be attending this very special event representing South Jersey's Chapter of Motown Alumni and covering the event for In The Basement soul music magazine. It's really been a long time coming for the orignal Marvelettes and I am very happy for them. |

Vonnie, I will be more than happy to give SD a review. This has been a very good year finally for the original members of The Marvelettes. From what I am hearing, many Motown recording artist and recording stars maybe attending this "Gold Record" event also, Marvelettes fans from around the globe especially Europe. There will be some news media coverage. Radio, TV, Detroit News papers along with some additional press. I will be doing a write-up for (ITB) In The Basement magazine.Sounds like it's really going to be a nice affair with some unexpected very pleasant astonishment top with lots of fun. I'm sure there's going to be some SD members in attendance. This is not a private ceromony. Everyone is welcome and invited to attend this historical celebration. Tickets are very afordable from what I understand. |

Randy, I've been out of town and sorry for taking so long replying to your questions inwhich I did not make myself clear on. Yes, I will be going to Inkster, Michigan. Are you attending the "GOLD" record celebration being held for The Marvelettes? If so, I'll be looking forward to meeting you. I've heard lots of very good positive things from many recording artist about you. Hopefully, we'll meet back-stage where I will most likely be taking pictures for a cover story. If not, I will make it a point to locate you at the event. It's my understanding The VGHOF Induction will not be taking place this year. From what I am hearing there's suppose to be something held better and very huge in it's place next year. I have not heard any date or determine located place yet but, in any case I will try to attend that celebration also if and whenever it take place. |
