<< Respected LadyLand / Travlin' the Tracks with DJ Action Slacks
When people talk about Detroit soul music, their conversations inevitably land at Motown Records. However,
the pot of musical talent in 1960s Detroit was brimming, spilling over
into label after label, side-projects and subscenes, etc. I suppose it's
our tendency to boil down history into simplified, easier to digest
bite-sized facts. But that leaves so many people out of the story,
particularly women.
This episode spotlights
some of the musical contributions of two women based in Detroit, both
were performers who also worked extensively behind the scenes, lifting
up other performers, guiding careers, writing songs, and producing great
records!
