Hello, kiddies.

I hope you all are enjoying my extra special tribute post. I swear, every time I hear it, it brings a tear to my eye. Please understand, I’ve been a diehard fan since 1974, so hearing these songs means just a little bit more. Of course, there were a few that slipped me by so I put them here…

First, here’s a couple from Minnie’s first group, The Gems. She’s second from the left…

Please download and enjoy All Of It, an .mp3 file, 4 MB

Please download and enjoy Happy New Love, an .mp3 file, 4 MB

 

And as a bonus, I included Stevie Wonder’s impromptu performance from the Soul Train episode which yielded all the sound bites that I used in the mix… Thankfully, the sound quality is superb.

 

Please download and enjoy Perfect Angel and Lovin’ You, an .mp3 file, 3 MB. He admitted that he couldn’t hit the high note…

Now I know I said I was going to pull some joints from Leslie’s crates for the next post. I did, but I have yet to digitse them as it were. That will happen sooner than later, so y’all come back now, y’hear?

Peace and blessings.
