'Diggin' In The Crates' is brought to you by Ben Lewis , designer and record obsessive from Brighton. Ben can usually be found in a dusty corner of one of the countries many second-hand record emporiums, rooting around in search of rarities and hidden gems. Up this week are two gems from former Temptations vocalist Eddie Kendricks, taken from his People... Hold On Lp. Eddie Kendricks - Date With The Rain [...]

Eddie Kendricks urodził się w Alabamie, śpiewał w legendarnej grupie Temptations dla wytwórni Motown i za dużo palił. W 1973 nagrał hit 'Keep on truckin', który zremiksowałem i dziś prezentuję. Eddie Kendricks - Keep On Truckin (Mentalcut Remix) by mentalcut

Here's Dimitri From Paris doing his editing business thing with Eddie Kendricks - Date In The Rain taken from deep in his disco vault. Dimitri says it's probably his favourite... We definitely agree! Rest assured his SlothBoogie guestmix is coming next week! Eddie Kendorick'usu - Detto Wid Za Lain DFP edit by dfp SlothBoogie

A track of which I never tire. Deep soul groove, right-on message. Eddie Kendricks, "My People... Hold On" - from Black Power: Music of a Revolution ; originally from the album People... Hold On (1972) This is one of the songs I will put on repeat at my desk sometimes, and just let it wash over me for dozens of plays as I work away at some soul-crushing spreadsheet problem or similar task. Soul music to save your soul. Black [...]

I'm kind of weird about my tunes. Whenever I see a mix is in a single Mp3, normally I don't bother fooling with it. Why? I'm lazy and I don't want to skip through to find the parts I like (kinda like a cassette tape, no?). But, A Blog Called Fresh compiled it, and I spotted it over at Dirtywork so I downloaded it. And I played the entire thing. So now I'll return the favor. Pop the hood for tracklist. We got some bossanova, funk, old [...]

Great mix from Oyvind of the defunct (?) Bam Bam club , taken from back in 2006, but still every bit as relevant now - disco of all shades and weights! Oyvind - In the trees mix pt.1 Oyvind - In the trees mix pt.2

To empower another is to inspire and to inspire is to be in spirit. Like each record on this compilation, you play a part in the whole.

Respect to David D.'s phenomenal female fitness regimen , but I just watched the best infomercial ever. Flipping through the tube, PBS's relentless effort to save themselves sucked me into a never-ending plea to buy Motown Memories , a $200 5-DVD set of forgotten footage from the most renown record label ever. Despite the rather-buy-an-ounce-of-goods price tag, it was actually pretty sweet. Instead of the typical over-the-top infomercial antics of QVC and them, the supreme Mary Wilson was chilaxing in Studio 1 on West Grand Boulevard, reminiscing on the good [...]

Found on the Turntable Lab blog . I just can't get enough of that Eddie Kendricks sample.
![Maybe Lil Rounds Should Get In On This Deal [Motown / Not Motown]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1616754_lg.jpg)
One of Amazon's $1.99 MP3 store deals today is Motown No. 1's, Vol. 2 , a comp that's chock-full of actual Motown artists from The Supremes to Eddie Kendricks to (blech) Boyz II Men . Overall, though, it's a pretty hot set, and certainly worth your just-under-two-dollars. Perhaps American Idol contestant Lil Rounds should pony up the cash for this one, as she named Aretha one of her favorite Motown artists during last night's American Idol . Sigh .
![If You Let Eddie Kendricks, You Know He Can [Videodrone Extra]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1614336_lg.jpg)
While looking for clips today to post with the Uriel Jones obituary , I tried to recall if the drummer appeared on the Eddie Kendricks album People...Hold On , one of my favorite R&B records of all time. Jones didn't appear on the record—he only played on Kendricks' last album for the Motown subsidiary Tamla, Slick , as far as I can tell—but since I've somehow been missing out on the music blog paradigm of just posting about artists I like this whole time, why not just dig up YouTube clips of each [...]
Amazingly catchy track off the 1976 LP; Going up in Smoke , by everyone's favourite Temptation. Eddie Kendricks - Thanks for the Memories

Mary Wells: Two Lovers Marvin Gaye: I'll Be Doggone The Supremes: The Happening Eddie Kendricks: Shoeshine Boy T.G. Shepherd: Devil in the Bottle Brenda Holloway: You've Made Me So Very Happy All from The Complete Motown #1s (Motown, 2008) As for many children of baby boomers, Motown was my introduction to soul music thanks to what I'd hear my dad listen to in the car.
