There was a DJ in Detroit who did a show he called Pillow Talk. Eventually it became 3 hours of slow tunes and love songs every night. He was very good at finding the unique and introducing the audience to some memorable music.

Vincent was in the rotation.

He played some real soul music too. Ray, Goodman and Brown, Larry Graham, Lou Rawls etc.

Detroit radio had a strong history of playing good music regardless of the skin tone of the artists. They cared about the music not the race and went far toward bringing the races together.

I had great seats to Earth Wind and Fire in 1983 with a great mixed race crowd.

There's a YouTube audio of Peter Wolf and Magic Dick of J. Geils after-hours, after-concert interview: Peter Wolf & Magic Dick on WWWW (W4) Detroit - Part 1 in 1977, taking calls from fans. The background image is of fans in front of the concern billboard, after the concert, I assume, although I'm not sure of the exact circumstance. Either way, it's a classic Detroit scene.
