WE ALL MORN THE RECENT PASSING OF TINA TURNER! DID YOU KNOW THAT IKE & TINA TURNER CAME TO LYNCHBURG BACK IN 1972? I CAME ACROSS THIS NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ADVERTISING THE SHOW FROM OCTOBER 1972! THE SHOW WAS TO BE HELD ON WATERLICK RD, AT THE TIMBERLAKE CONCERT HALL. AT THE TIME, WAYNE CAMPBELL FROM WWOD RADIO STATION WAS THE MANAGER OF THE VENUE. THE HALL CLOSED UP IN THE EARLY 80’S, AND IS NOW PROGRESS PRINTING COMPANY!

This is Jr. Walker before he signed and was picked up by Motown! Here is the rare “Willie’s Blues” on Harvey Records! (click play)

n addition to my 330+ radios and phonographs I have collected over the years, here are a few rare records from my record collection. Believe it or not, “LaLa Means I Love You” was not the first record by the Delfonics! Before they made it big, they had this local hit, “He Don’t Really Love You!” on the local label Moonshot!
Also “You’ve been Untrue” at around the same time.
Susan Waters Cain, DHS-’69, was married to one of the Delfonics for a while, Randy Cain! Randy passed away April 9th, 2009. William Hart passed away July 14, 2022. Wilbur Hart is the only surviving member of the Delfonics!

Here is the late Howard Scott Jr. singing his solo effort “Baby!” Howard passed away January 28, 2011!
Barbara Mason came to the “Sportsmans Club” in 1975! I got her to sign my record!

HERE ARE A FEW SONGS BELOW THAT I’LL BET YOU HAVEN’T HEARD IN A LONG TIME!
