Saw them live in Petosky at a festival in 1969 along with John Mayall, the Frost and others, MC5 were supposed to play but didn't show. SRC's rendition of "In The Hall of the Mountain King" was incredible

I was so fortunate to see Reggae Legend Jimmy Cliff with Robin Comer in Detroit at the Majestic Theater. This little white Reggae band opened for Jimmy, and they were good. Then there were drums booming from offstage, and I'll never forget the massive sound. I'll bet that little Reggae band has never forgotten it either! Thanks so much, Bart Loeb, for the tickets.

The 4th music documentary from our Birth of Michigan Rock and Roll series focuses on Detroit in the 1950s when the city emerged as a hotbed of rhythm & blues music. Motor City Fever presents important recordings by Nolan Strong and The Diablos and Andre Willams on Fortune Records, along with big hits by Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, Little Willie John, and The Falcons, whose 1959 appearance on American Bandstand made them the first Detroit vocal group to appear on the program. It also features a rare performance by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers. Frankie Lymon was rock and roll’s first teenage star and an important influence for many of Motown’s future artists. The highly entertaining 25-minute video will be in constant rotation on Wednesday, Oct. 8th and Friday Oct. 10th at the Historical Museum of Bay County. Museum hours are 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Tuesday to Saturday.
