As you may have been reading I have tried to keep you posted on AXS TV's countdown of the Top 200 songs of the 70s. The final two episodes of that will be broadcast tonight, starting at 8:00 Eastern time. They have 20 songs left.

In the meantime, I stumbled across another countdown of theirs that I DVRed and watched today. It was their opinion of the Top 10 Motown stars. As they introduced them, they played snippets of their music. Here is their top 10, in case we want to discuss who should have been higher, who was left out, etc. I have one strong opinion on a placement but let's see what you guys think.

Their top 10 was:

10) Four Tops
9) Martha & the Vandellas
8) Commodores
7) Gladys Knight & the Pips
6) Jackson Five
5) Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
4) Stevie Wonder
3) Marvin Gaye
2) Supremes
1) Temptations

So what do you guys think?

This October Soulful Detroit will be 23 years old, and except for varying subjects found in the Club House we have always been about music. Time to expand our horizons a bit. Right now, the United States is embroiled in a hot contest for the Presidency. I make no apologies for being a life long Democrat.
How could I not be? I was raised in a Blue Collar family. My father worked for The Ford Motor Company. An uncle was president for the Detroit UAW. My blood runs Blue.

I am interested to know what you forum members think of the situation. I am especially interested in hearing from our friends outside of the United States. Things are rowdy right now, but I am betting on a Democrat blow out making Kamala Harris our next president.

What a kick this is gonna be, was announced that this tv special will air tonight on YouTube. I remember Martha, Lois and Roz doing Down By The Riverside.
