[marv2]

This the last Motown Anniversary Special where most of the performers were actual Motown Artists. This aired in the Spring of 2004 on ABC:

Is there a listing of the Performers & times on the tape when they appear,
like you see on some of the youtube videos?

Okay, who was the Four Tops back in that performing?

Was it: Theo Peoples, Duke Fakir, Obie Benson, and Lawrence Payton Jr.?

Edafan, not that I am aware of. Gladys Knight, The Temptations, Mary Wilson, The Four Tops, Cindy Birdsong, Jermaine Jackson, Thelma Houston, Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie, the Commodores, Bubba Knight are some of the actual Motown artists that appear on the program.

Ronnie McNeir was in the group and not Lawrence Payton Jr. at that point.

This was not a good show.

It was horrible and one major artists performance was cut as it was so bad!

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. How dare they! Why even invite them to the show if you were going to cut them out. They did the same thing to her last year at that Grammy Motown 60th Show.

Exactly what I thought Marv.

These so called celebrations are always bad. MOTOWN 60 was pathetic. Just give us expanded albums and classic clip DVDs and celebrations where more artists were alive.
