I so wish their "Devastating Affair Mountain" album could be
released.

So do I Ivor but I have a horrible feeling that Blinky may have
been the last to escape from the vaults for a very, very long
time!

Does anybody have a handy list of all the group members?
I wonder how many of them carried on at Motown in other roles.

Thanks John. Looks as if all the guys were songwriters later but
the gals did little more than a bit of background vocalising on
very few tracks.
That's sad. As a group they were unforgettable but seemingly the
reverse is true for most of their solo careers. I note that one
of the guys wrote a couple of tunes for Philly acts.

Hi Ivor,
Harold Johnson wrote BROTHERS AND SISTERS which was on the MFSB
album PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM and he had a track on the WMOT album
BLUE MAGIC, MAJOR HARRIS, MARGIE JOSEPH LIVE - but I see that
the song is YOU'RE A SPECIAL PART OF ME, so it's a Motown tune.
Maybe these are both cover versions of Motown songs.

Thanks Eric. Funnily enough, "Brothers And Sisters" is listed
on my list of unreleased Devastating Affair tracks which UK
Motown sent me back in the '70s which I stumbled on the other
day whilst looking for my list of unreleased Jerry Butler tracks
which I can't find.
