Detroit A Go Go photos- 2: the Motown shows

Here is the second batch of photos from my trip to Detroit, this time focusing on the two Motown A Go Go shows celebrating the 60th birthday of Motown.
First here are the Marvelettes, who now comprise one original member (Katherine Anderson Schaffner), and three new members.

The first show was kicked off by The Posse who are now a duo which includes one original member but were originally a quintet which included band leader Ronnie Nelson.

This is Kim Weston.

Here's Chris Clark.

Still looking and sounding great this is Carolyn Crawford.

An exciting performer with a good stage act, this is G C Cameron, formerly lead singer of The Spinners.

Another very good performer, here is Brenda Holloway.

All the acts took the stage at the end of the show.

Phil Dick was the man behind the weekend and must be congratulated for some great shows.

A visit to the Woodlawn cemetery where many Motown artists are buried or interred, including David Ruffin, Lawrence Payton and Levi Stubbs. There is also the Gordy family plot and a memorial to Michael Jackson. Aretha Frankin is interred there. Here is Marv Johnson's grave.

And this is the grave of Levi Stubbs.

The second night began with 'Junior Walker's All Stars', who were actually members of the Ronnie Nelson band with the Ladeez backing group.

Next up were the Vandellas, with originals Rosalind Holmes and Annette Helton plus Roschelle Laughhunn.

Here are the Velvelettes, who are the only Motown group still performing which contains only original members.

Several awards were presented including a lifetime achievement award to Paul Riser, seen here with Phil Dick.

This is the Miracles, featuring Mark Scott (right). No original members here.

These are the Elgins.

One of the best acts of the weekend, here are the Contours.

These are the Supremes featuring Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene.

Finally in this set here's one of me with Carolyn Crawford.
