    I totally agree Ollie9. Chain Reaction is an excellent reminder of the golden Motown years. The accompanying video is also full of fun but with important "reflection" on Diana's different looks over...

    Favourite drum roll intro

    For me it is the drum roll intro to the originally released version of Mother Dear. It's like a call to attention and it sets the pace of the overall song.

    There are many Motown songs which have...

    I like the song and the video which I think shows the good vibes between Diana and Marvin. However, what sounds like an edit at track time 2:00 lets the recording down as it spoils the flow of the...

    In the UK, Walk With Me was issued as a single, reaching no 32. Once again, Motown UK hit the nail on the head!

    Luckily, Motown UK made the excellent decision to release Why as a single in the UK. As was mentioned above, the vocal performances on this song are first class.

    First name Motown songs

    I thought I'd set up a new iTunes playlist for Motown songs and came up with the idea of including songs where a first name is mentioned. These spring to mind but would welcome input from members...

    I love the playfulness in the Expo video of this song. Tammi had Marvin in the palm of her hand and I'm sure he loved it.

    Completely agree Paul. I see that as constructive and respectful in a way that contrasts with the negatives of making Tammi sound a bit like Diana.

    I think we are living in a world where technology can "do things" that were previously thought to be impossible. However, even though something is possible, it doesn't mean that it is worth doing.

    This song can choke me up for so many reasons, including Tammi's struggle, yet, it is also so uplifting with theme of the lyrics focussing on the strength of love. A true Motown masterpiece. I...

    Your favourite is my favourite too. It must have been so emotional hard for Marvin to see Tammi struggling in the recording studio during the sessions for this song. His "come on Tammi" and "Tammi...

    I realise the age of the video Paul and naturally wouldn't expect that of Diana today. However, I think she is doing very well for someone approaching 80.
