DETROIT (AP) - Ali-Ollie Woodson, who led the legendary Motown quintet The Temptations in the 1980s and '90s and helped restore them to their hit-making glory with songs including "Treat Her Like A Lady," has died, a friend said. He was 58. Woodson died Sunday in southern California after battling cancer, Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson said. Wilson said Woodson's wife, Juanita, told him about the death Sunday. Woodson was not an original member of the group, which had several lineup changes since it started in the 1960s. But he played an integral part in keeping the Temptations from becoming just nostalgia act.

The Ultimate Black Music Database is now online for one year. I started this database with 1100 artists, 2500 albums, and 7000 tracks. This amount is more than doubled. The amount of covers, samples is also increased and the updates will be still on regular basis. I just recently introduced the members/appear on list.

It was a year with ups and downs. The downs with the deadth of our favorit artists, Ernesto McKenzie Phillips (starpoint), John Whitehead, Ray Charles, Syreeta, Rick James, Tyrone Davis, and Rennee Diggs.

The ups with the new albums of 70s/80s artists like The O' Jays, {safm}Brenda Russell{/safm}, Teena Marie, Michael Cooper, Stephanie Mills, Anita Baker, Will Downing, Al green. And a Soul & Funk music stream for this site.

For me it is exactly the right moment to change the layout for this site. From now on it will be called The Ultimate Soul And Funk Music Database. Many Thanx to Remco for spending hours behind his favorit PS app. The URL is also changed to https://www.soulandfunkmusic.com. The old URL will be still available.
I hope you like it, Mark
