Re: (313) EDDIE FOWLKES / DETROIT WAX

I hear where Eddie Fowlkes is coming from.  His contribution has been fairly pivotal, judging from memory and my record collection.  I wouldn't overstate it, but neither would I underestimate it. I don't think he deserves such patronising flak, although granted he does come over as quite spikey in interviews.
