What classic Motown tracks would you have picked to have music videos done had music videos existed in the 60s and 70s like they existed in the 80s and beyond?
Some of my picks:
Love is Here and Now You're Gone - DRATS
Love Child - DRATS
Runaway Child Running Wild - Tempts
Living For the City - Stevie Wonder
What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye
Mercy, Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye
Inner city Blues [[Make Me Wanna Holler) - Marvin Gaye
I'll Be There - Jackson Five
Love is Like An Itching In My Heart - Supremes
Something About You - Four Tops
Take Me In Your Arms - Kim Weston
Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations
Back in the sixties, there was "music videos" jukebox-esque system called "Scopitone" in which to my knowledge, the only Motown representation from it was Billy Eckstine's "The Prime Of My Life".
Let's see....would be neat Scopitones of, without the bikini-clad women, although sensibly-styled go-go girls are encouraged:
- Supremes, "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes"
- Miracles, "Going To A Go-Go"
- Marvin Gaye, "Baby Don't You Do It"
- Temptations, "Girl [[Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)"
- Martha & The Vandellas, "Wild One"
Good question Lockhartgary. My picks are:
"My Guy"-Mary Wells
"My Girl", "[[I Know) I'm Losing You", "Cloud Nine", "Masterpiece"-The Temptations
"Stop In The Name Of Love", "You Keep Me Hanging On", "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone"-The Supremes
"Uptight", "I Was Made To Love Her", "For Once In My Life"-Stevie Wonder
"Shotgun"-Jr. Walker & The All Stars
"I Heard It Thorough The Grapevine", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby", "What's Going On", "Inner City Blues [[Make Me Wanna Holler)"-Marvin Gaye
"Please Mr. Postman", "Beechwood 4-5789", "Don't Mess With Bill", "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game"-The Marvelettes
"Do You Love Me [[Now That I Can Dance)"-The Contours
What a great question! I wonder if one day music videos could be created for such songs... in memory or honour of... :)
