This matrix recording from a 1987 Motown Review brings our Detroit Music Tribute into our next loose theme here at The New JDP. We ill be bringing you a bunch of bootlegs from musicians that we have lost to the great gig in the sky. This fine recording features performances from some of the artists who made Motown Records what it was in the 1960's & 1970's. David Rufin and Eddie Kendricks were founding members of The Temptations, a band that recorded many hits for the label. We lost David Ruffin first at the age of 50 on June 1, 1991 to a drug overdose. We lost Eddie Kendicks on October 5, 1992 at the age of 52 to complications from lung cancer. Mary Wells, who was the third female singer to be signed to Motown, became known as The First Lady of Motown after Berry Gordie called her that in an interview. We lost Mary Wells July 26, 1992, at the age of 49, from pneumonia due to complications from laryngeal cancer. The disease had stolen her voice years before. Before her death Wells testified, in a whisper, before the United States Congress to urge government funding for cancer research.
