50 years of Motown numbers 31, 30 and 29! The Temptations, The Four Tops and the Marvelettes
I'm running behind a bit so here are three more give it up for the Funk Brothers and Norman Whitfield too, these guys were at the crux of the Motown sound and rarely get credit. I did a 2 hour radio show last year after Norman died out of the love of his music. His passing barely warranted a mention in the mainstream media. The Funk Brothers finally got overdue recognition in the fantastic 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown" movie, which was superb (I actually shed a tear or two during it). The party at the Pavilion is now 3 days away I hope you are ready to dance! Aswell as two classic from two of Motowns foremost bands i've included the highly influential "Hunter gets captured by the game" by the Marvelettes too, a record that was particularly influential to many gay soul fans, and another Smokey Robinson penned classic.
Number 31
The Temptations "Papa was a Rolling Stone"
Number 30
The Four Tops "It's the same old song"
Number 29
The Marvelettes "The Hunter gets captured by the game"
