Sunday Review - The Detroit Interviews 3 - Joe Hunter (2021) 29 Minutes

 Joe's personal account in this edition of The Detroit Files encompasses decades of music - from honing his piano skills with a jazz maestro in the military during the 1940s to touring with Hank Ballard & The Midnighters in the fifties, then helping Berry Gordy build the foundations of Motown, working with Mike Hanks and going on to create a rich legacy of superb Soul during the sixties. Dont confuse him with Ivy Jo Hunter different guy.


                               Sunday Review - The Detroit Interviews 4 - The Mike Hanks Story (2024) 56 Minutes

 Mike Hanks was a true pioneer of R'n'B is remembered by his wife, Gracie, and some of the people, such as Johnnie Mae Matthews and Joe Hunter, who worked with him. Mike's career took in the birth of Soul in the late 50s as well as Detroit's heyday as a recording center.
