💎 Description 💎
Just how handsome is this vinyl-vista, Motown 1064 west coast MAP design promo copy.
The last in a trio of releases for this very young talent (13 years of age) won a competition run by local Detroit radio station WCHB. Carolyn had the voice of an angel, so Berry Gordy Jr. himself took charge of her development. Enlisting some of his most creative lyricists Smokey Robinson, Janie Bradford, William Mickey Stevenson, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Robert Gordy, etc.
With Berry Gordy Jr. taking a personal interest making sure he was in the studio for all three of her Motown singles.
But Carolyn was so much more than just "sweet voice" she also single-handedly wrote "I'll Come Running" "Forget About Me" an immense talent who looked to have a bright future. So it came as a surprise when Motown did not extend her contract.
As all 6 of her Hitsville sides are considered Northern Soul Motown dancefloor favourites, and not easy to find.
Both sides on all 3 of her Motown releases tick all the NS boxes. With arguably "My Smile Is Just A Frown Turned Upside Down" being her finest moment.
Listen n' swoon, then gaze upon the gorgeousness of this west coast MAP promo, in its birth sleeve, resist if you can!
