Jackson 5/MJ Liner Notes

Hey all.

Have been searching online for copies of the booklets/liner notes for Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection, Come And Get It: The Rare Pearls, and Soulsation ! Would anyone happen to have PDFs/scans they'd be willing to share ? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Autographed Four Tops Photo

I found this signed photo in a Motown book at my Mom’s house. It is signed by 3 of the 4 original Tops circa 1996.

What is the original of this Marvin Gaye cover?

This is the German version, but of which original Motown song in English? I've been trying to find it but no avail. Thanks!

Motown Museum

We are in Detroit for a conference and for whatever reason I stupidly assumed you could just walk up and get tickets but I only see offers for guided tours and those are all taken.

Anybody know the deets?

James Jamerson revolutionized bass playing. His inventive style brought the electric Fender bass to the forefront, moving away from basic root-fifth patterns to dynamic techniques like walking bass lines, syncopation, and double stops. His jazz/blues background reshaped R&B/pop music.
