For several
years, we hosted shows at Ricky's Lincoln Park.
On a Wednesday in January 1999, the Motown groups
The Contours
and The Miracles
came to the nightclub for a rehearsal. We heard
the Miracles sing "Shop Around", "You've
Really Got A Hold On Me", Mickey's Monkey",
"I Second That Emotion" and "Love
Machine (Part I)" and The Contours sing
"First I Look at the Purse", "Just
a Little Misunderstanding ", "Can
You Jerk Like Me", "Shake Sherry",
"Whole Lotta Woman" and, of course,
their biggest selling hit "Do You Love
Me."
Afterwards, Charles
Davis and Al
Chisholm of The
Contours stayed for our Karaoke show.
