Motown

[Robinia]

Happy 50th anniversary Tamla Motown!! My favourite kinda music. It's hard to choose just one but I'd say Going to a Go Go would be my no.1. What's your favourite? Which one did you buy first?
(it's Motown Monday on Smooth radio if anyone's interested)

'Baby Love' because it brings back such lovely memories of being 17(?) carefree and enjoying a very wild youth!!

Not my favourite type of music because I prefer rock, but certainly brings back memories.

Hmmm, you're right Lottie, being 17 was one of the best years of my life too... <sigh>

That's a lovely smoochy, end of the night track Dr. F but I liked the ones the 'dance around your handbag' tracks best of all!

You're right Robinia it is hard to choose just one, 'Get Ready' by The Temptations is a fave as is your pick 'Going To A Go Go' but I'm gonna go with 'I'll Keep On Holding On' by The Marvelettes - Belter !!!

ooh, brilliant tracks thanks! I'm going to be listening to them all day (in between the radio ones)...I'm expecting the gas service man...I hope he likes loud Motown. :o)

The first LP (!) I bought was Chartbusters Vol 3 with the lovely silver cover. It cost every penny I had on me & I had to walk home.

[Mortartube]

This is probably my favourite of all and a Northern Soul classic too.

Hi all...more brilliant tracks, thanks for replying.
I wrote a chatty reply to you all last night & then it wouldn't post :o(

[ALTHEPAL]

Hi Robinia,
It's got to be 'Walk Away Renee' by 'The Four Tops' for me!

[ELVIS68]

I always thought Motown was a place where black gays hung out...only kidding
