Perhaps we will be treated to a Lewis Sisters compilation in 2020, What do you think?

John, I'm beginning to rally around the idea of a comprehensive cd release on the Lewis Sisters.
They are one of the most unsung heros at Motown.
Their style of music was uniquely their own.
I'm also wondering if they have any vaulted material of their versions of songs that they wrote for other artist.

There is a huge amount of material from the sisters - loads of demos etc, unfortunately a lot of them are terrible and would do the girls reputations more harm than good BUT there is enough good stuff to do a CD on tme it's just finding a suitable label who in these current time would take a punt on such a release. Believe you me its hard enough to get them interested in the main players...

I loved all that I heard by the girls plus they were very good songwriters too. I'd love a CD release by them but as you say in the current climate it's extremely unlikely :(
