Motown

[Globus]

[ASMO]

More disco than motown, produced by Niles Rogers.

[Globus]

Nit picking Asmo. I know it was produced by Chic members in the days when the late Bernard Edwards was the bassist.

I cant see how you can call it nit picking, they are 2 totally different music genre's, akin to calling football, rugby.

[Globus]

Not overly bothered Asmo. Try separating rhythm and blues.

[Sinkers]

Aretha never recorded on Motown either - Columbia, Atlantic, RCA and Arista only I think.

[Globus]

Motown is an era, not a record label. You missed out Stax.

Love so many....and for some reason the Four Tops are often overlooked...

Fantastic. He's one of my greats.

I have sites that I visit on a regular basis and one site I have a gentleman in late 60s/early 70s who runs my site there. Great guy, we have had many meals, talks, etc together over the years. Truly an operations master.

About 3 years ago while out visiting him, we went down the wormhole of music. He was asking me what I like and what not.

He then started talking about his music collection and I asked if I could stop by and listen. Well, I get to his house and he has this studio and on his wall was gold discs and what not.

And then there are pics of my friend with the Stevie Wonder, Stones, Three Dog Night, etc etc...

So my friend told me, yeah, I was with Stevie in the 60s and 70s...travelled all over the world, met great people, etc...but wife got sick of it...

But Stevie is still a friend and salt of the earth and still takes time to catch up, etc...

Cliff note version....Stevie Wonder is truly a great guy

She never issued on Stax either. She recorded some sessions at the Stax studios but everything was issued on Atlantic.

Motown was a record label that was good at popularising and monetising trends in black American music. Representative of musical eras, yes. An era in itself, no.

Got to disagree. But nice to have a decent discussion.

Thinly veiled "I met Globus" post.

The singles up in my loft with Motown on the label say you are wrong.
The label was formed in 1960 ish by Berry Gordy as per Sinkers post.

I know. Hello SaintK. I was a DJ in the 60s / 70s. Played loads of Motown based records.

Bully for you
Perhaps you could apologise to Sinkers for being such a contrary stupid arse

Possibly but you attack me not the post. I expect an an apology from you. Doubt it will arrive, given your posting history.

No apologies needed of course. I was happily being a plum on what could have turned out to be a good thread once we'd got past the bollox and started posting some decent music.

[Tichtheid]

On the Sussex label, (I assume we're doing soul/funk R&B?) the follow up to Bill Withers' debut album is a cracker. There are more famous BW songs than this, but I do like it

[tcc_dc]

a little love for the Contours...

You might like 30 minutes of Bill live on the BBC from back in 1973

[PCPhil]

Never mind the bollox, here’s the (real) Motown, you mean

[PCPhil]

and to listen to the brilliant bass line from the man behind most of the best hits, Mr James Jamerson.

I wasn't a huge Motown fan, but it was the soundtrack of my teenage years - and most clubs/dance halls would have a stong diet of Motown. Good times.

Motown Chartbusters Vol 3 (1969) probably typified the music, and era, for me.

Good shout. I have it and others on vinyl.

I went to see the Four Tops in Southampton in 1973 - they were extremely good. Support act was Thelma Houston who also put on a great show.

[The Druid]

a little love for the Contours...

Another take on that from the very clever people at Boston Dynamics, some outstanding engineering.

Didn't Brian Poole and the Tremeloes have a UK hit with that song ?

Yes they did, first charted in September 1963.

"Do You Love Me?" was the Contours' only Top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Notably, the record achieved this feat twice, once in 1962 (No 3) and again in 1988 (No 11).

A little Tuesday Miracles...love the outfits and this song
