    Yes, I have seen a few of these to along with "videos" of other popular '60s acts.
    The strange thing, for me anyway, is why most of them had not been shown on mainstream TV back when the records...

    There are some live performances by Jr Walker and the All Stars on YouTube recorded in France and the UK. These guys were just brilliant and Walker could really play live, along with his band. I seem...

    [King] Charles was pretty enamoured of the Three Degrees. Not Motown, but worthy of note. In the UK it was the pirate radio stations that really popularised Motown over here. That and the fanatical...

    My wife, who left Mauritius in 1969, is devastated.
    As a boy, I grew up in Windsor and our family felt a special bond with the Queen.

    Another tour in the U K would be the icing on the cake - for me anyway.

    Motown successfully blurred the line between soul and pop anyway.

    I found this hard, never having listened to any of them before. Started with the Temps. Apart from David's voice, it just sounded like a generic Motown song as if a bit of a rushed production. The...

    Yes, absolutely stupendous. As a 16 yr old in '68 it was one of the few vinyl discs I bought. Still have it but very scratched from use at house parties. Got a lot of play at minor clubs and pub...

    Great track - didn't get much of an airing in the UK when first released. In the UK, 6345678 and Raise your hand were the most popular tracks amongst 60s Mods althought they too were not played much...

    There's something a bit odd about that clip. The styling and shooting angles don't seem typical of 60s pop video/film styles. But what do I know?

    It varied, but the "cleanest" cuts used the Motown Original Artist Karaoke series. I could hardly believe it when I heard of his passing.

    It's the first offering from a new venue in London. I will very likely go and report back. London does need more music venues with dining and this has the potential to be successful.
