By fluke, doing some deep net research this evening, I noted a news item relating to Fidel Castro.


As I was in Havana in November 2016, I had a closer look and was gobsmacked to see a reference to a
13921 possible Motown TV special to filmed there. I see that the Canadian Government was to be approached to swing this, as we had a very close relationship with Cuba during that time frame, as we still do to this day. I would guess the plan was nixed by the U.S. Government. [ATTACH]13921

Now this is something I'd never heard about. I wished it had happened. Thanks Mark.

Oh wow, interesting. I always forget how all this music was recorded during the era that was the Cold War!

I will continue to dig for any followup to explain what may have happened. I greatly enjoy what other Motown fans share on this site, and it is my pleasure to pay it forward when I can!
