The request to wikify the page links to a one line definition of wikification that does not help me understand what is required.
notability established but Page named wrong
[edit]The band is notable, since they charted in the US ("That's the Way a Woman Is" in 1971). This goes unverified at this time, however. (Does someone have access to the US chart listings of 1971?) --B. Wolterding 09:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Yep, number 62[1]. Two other songs bubbled under too. It was also a major hit in Japan. To be honest though that article linked above has confused me more than I was in the first place. Were Michael And The Messengers a cash-in on The Messengers or vice-versa? Were they the same group? Anyone have a source? AuTomAton (talk) 10:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- I think that I should have called the page "The Messengers" since they are the main band, who had the hit, and "Michael and the Messengers" were just a motown touring band created, as the article says, to cash in on Messengers fame. I do not know how to change the name of the article. The reference for the page is given in the references, which is an internet page based on a book about the group.--Timtak (talk) 06:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- both "The Messengers" and"Messengers" are already taken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timtak (talk • contribs) 08:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

disambiguation?
[edit]It seems that George Michael and others released an album entitiled "Freek!"[2] under the name "Michael & the Messengers" in 2002. Would this warrant a disambigation page? --B. Wolterding 09:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure this is a typo by a Musicmatch user. In the UK and US at least this release was credited to GM only[3]. AuTomAton (talk) 10:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
