Berry and Diana can help you out!
Y'all would argue about 2+2=4 if the opportunity presented itself. Good grief.
I read on Facebook that our Forum is known for driving things into the ground and rehashing things again and again
Motown 60 was a huge success; the best since Motown 25 in terms of success
As usual, we wish some of the lesser known people could have been highlighted more - but the choices that were made are understandable
To me Motown 25 with the Tempts vs 4 Tops and Michael Jackson were great.
The others after that were not as good as M 25

Or Lynda Laurence. Or now.........Motown 60
I watched the Motown 60 show last night with my nephew and his husband and we all really loved it. Highlights was Ciara as Rick James and Ne-Yo as hes real talented and Thelma Houston who tore the room down and Stevie and Smokey and John Legend who did a real nice tribute to Marvin and Diana Ross who looked so gorgeous and in such great voice. It was a real good special imo.
More class!
Thank you. I did miss Martha Reeves on the Motown Special but got a real nice glimpse of her right behind Mr Gordy.
In terms of success, it looks like Motown 60 has been the most successful since Motown 25 - mainly due to Diana Stevie and Smokey
Motown Legends!!!!

Both Marvin and MJ - My two faves from 25, are now gone, yet I still enjoyed the show as a whole. I know there are folks who want more historical content, and this would be a disappointment to them, but for the casual fan, it was gold. My main issue was not using Martha in some fashion, otherwise, I think they did a great job. Ratings like this will ensure some type of follow-up , which would be cool.
I finally got to see it last night after I found a download of it: I enjoyed it a lot.
But I noticed no mention of Boyz II Men who were the biggest earners for Motown in the 90's or did I miss something?
Lionel was doing American Idol; what happened to Boyz?
Good Lord, Miss Ross, you still got it. I had tears in my eyes watching you shine on Motown 60. It was the kind of great performance you did years and years ago. Bravo !!
One of her best moments; one of Berry’s best moments
This is why I want to watch it!! :rolleyes:
Hey Tom, send me a PM with your e-mail.
I downloaded it and might be able to send it to you.
This performance by Diana would make the perfect bookend to her career if she chose to stop now. It was absolute perfection. Her voice, her performance and most of all the interplay with Mr Gordy. It was so incredibly moving.
Circa, you're so right! It's not at all surprising that so many of us were choked up and moved to tears by this perfect and emotional performance. It would indeed make a perfect bookend to Diana's amazing career if she were to end it -- but let's not even THINK of such a thing. Diana's on much too hot a roll to stop now!
I can't recall where I read this; but someone said when they realized the last song was going to be My Man, they said to themselves "oh no, that's a hard song" and she's not young anymore - but it was the perfect choice and worked perfectly.
