This has not been a good week for a serious Motown fan...

Last Friday Billy Henderson of The Detroit Spinners (as they were known in this country) died aged 67 from *gulp* complications arising from diabetes and

Joe Hunter who was the first keyboard player in the Motown session band known as The Funk Brothers (and immortalised in the documentary STANDING IN THE SHADOW OF MOTOWN) died aged 79

while on Sunday the impossibly glamorous singer/actress Barbara McNair died aged 72 of throat cancer.

I'm off to play IT'S A SHAME, YOU'VE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME and I KNOW BETTER as a tribute to them respectively.

My favourite track of the last few days! But how sad.

Fancy a battle of the record bags?
