This gem appeared on an episode of the 90s family drama And Life Goes On from 1966's Moods Marvin Gaye. I didn't think anyone but me was into this song....

Does anyone have an idea of shipping charges to the US from the UK? A friend sent a book from Germany last year that cost 47 Euros to ship and then sat in US customs at JFK for four weeks. Maybe the...
Ray Charles recorded this A&S song.
There has been no mention of Valerie's work with Quincy Jones from the early 70s that included Summer in the City, First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Bridge Over Troubled Waters and Gula Matari. She...
The Supremes' You Keep Me Hanging On came out at the time of my parents' divorce. My mom finally made up her mind to walk away from my abusive alcoholic father. Black women didn't do that in the...
I salute your intentions, but I'm afraid of what's to come as others join the fray. A version like this probably wouldn't have taken the Marvelettes into the stratosphere. This song belonged to Diana...
Viele Grüße aus Atlanta. Neulich, blieb ich drei Wochen in Deutschland um die U-Bahn und Stadtbahn Stationen zu photographieren. 400 Stationen in zwölf Städten; Der Anfang:...
Many of these writers were not around when the legacy took its roots. They are relying on the half baked truths fertilized on the internet without doing the necessary verifications to ensure they are...
I'm amazed that Forum members would even resort to a subscription service with content that doesn't even come close to the depths of individual collections. Subscription services seem to be the norm...
I loved having the CD player in the car, but hated the damage done to the media. The only advantages to the current mp3 on a data card are the volume of music available and not having to pre-select...
Hats off to all the performers who persevered through those three shows a day, moving from city to city. That was really paying dues to make it.
I saw the Tempts and the Pips in 1968 at Madison...

A youtube video of a 1990 Geraldo show popped up in the feed while viewing other videos. The show's guests included Martha Reeves, Gladys Horton, Kim Weston, Mable John, Miss Raye, Janie Bradford,...
This type of disinformation BS gets annoying. Whenever I see a headline like this, reputable news sources are checked for verification. The news of Mavis Staples having passed gutted me until the...

As you were getting to it and as Motown Eddie said, the goal was to enlarge the audience. The money was in the supper club venues such as Las Vegas, the Copa, the Coconut Grove, etc. The fans didn't...

AM radio resisted playing songs longer than 3:00 before the mid-60s to leave slots for the annoying ads that kept them on the airwaves and for DJ chatter. Motown had many singles with printed running...

I agree with Kenneth from the referenced post about the spotty performances. If this is the concert I had on VHS with Florence Lyles as the duet partner, Marvin's performance was uninspired. I didn't...
This performance sounds like one that was issued on VHS more than a few years ago. Florence Lyles performed the duets with Marvin on the copy I had.
