About the artist
The Monitors were the Motown act whose "Greetings (This Is Uncle Sam)" (V.I.P. 25032, 1966) - a remake of the Valadiers' 1961 Motown original - reached #21 R&B/#100 pop as a draftee's-eye Vietnam-era side. Documented lineup: Richard Street (born 5 October 1942, Detroit; died 27 February 2013, Las Vegas), Sandra Fagin, John "Maurice" Fagin and Warren Harris. Street, a school friend of the Temptations' Otis Williams and Melvin Franklin and a Distants alumnus, left to join the Temptations around 1969-71, ending the group; a different lineup briefly recorded for Motorcity in 1990.
