Millie Small
Sad to hear about Millie Small. Her early journey was steered initially by Coxone Dodd's label, then Chris Blackwell's Island….. My Boy Lollipop put island Records on course to become an influential record label with an excellent musical reputation.

Numbers was a bit of a hit in Detroit thanks to the DJ calling himself the Electrifying Mojo, I even bought that Kraftwerk seven inch. Anyways as the tweet says This is #Detroit on #Kraftwerk #RIPFlorian, watch dancers on the New Dance Show enthusiastically moving to Numbers

Electrifying Mojo was also key in helping to break Prince.

good stuff
Kraftwerk operated within pop, yet remained somehow apart and above. When, in 1975, Lester Bangs jocularly enquired what kind of groupies Kraftwerk got, Schneider sternly snapped: "None. There is no such thing." He and Hütter's idea of rock star excess was buying lots of bicycles and taking up long distance cycling (sometimes racing between cities on tours).
