Does Anybody Here Want to Talk About Music??
So once again the forum has erupted into it's vicious cycle of craziness perpetrated by the usual suspects who worship two former Supremes, but is there ANYBODY who wants to talk Motown music and memories?
Tell me something, what was the moment, the song, the album, the voice, the concert, or whatever that hooked you into the Motown family of labels? At what point did you know you were a Motown fan?
A radio and a record player
When I was a kid, we often took a transistor radio with us so we could listen to the tunes wherever we hung out. I can remember my ears pricking up when I heard a catchy tune by what sounded like 'The Ivy Brothers'. My sister was two years older than me and she got more pocket money than I did, which meant she could afford to buy 45s. I would play some of her singles on her record player when she wasn't home and discovered that the ones I liked the best were those with the black and silver label - Marvin and Tammi's ''You Ain't Livin' Till You're Lovin' '' and ''This Old Heart Of Mine'' by those Isley Brothers, which helped me to put two and two together and realize that I was a Tamla Motown fan!.
And so it began.....
