This would certainly have been
a desirable residence in sixties Detroit, yet it was situated
only a few hundred yards south east of the ghettoes of Hastings
Street.
Number 519 would have been
the 19th flat on the fifth floor of this 'Pavilion'.
Revilot was co-owned by Lebaron
Taylor and Don Davis. I would think that this would be the
address of Lebaron however, and obviously it would have
been used for administrative purposes only.
Issue 201 was one of the greatest
soul music sides of all time in 'Open the door to your heart'
by Darrell Banks.
It is rumoured that Revilot
was Lebaron's surname, Toliver spelled backwards. In his
obituary last year, however, he was known purely as Lebaron
Taylor. Aged 65 he was described as a trailblazing executive
in the entertainment industry, a prominent civic leader
and above all, a humanitarian.
Note that Duke Browner also
stayed on the twelfth floor of this building at one stage.
