    What were Motown's Earliest Promotional Videos For The Label's Singles .....??

    Fifty years ago, in June of 1970, The HDH team were on the Billboard's Top Forty with a couple of songs: Freda's BAND OF GOLD and The Chairman of The Board's YOU'VE GOT ME DANGLING ON A STRING.

    BAND OF GOLD went on to become a #3 monster, while STRING dangled in the Top 40 but for a couple of weeks [[#40, #38).

    HDH must have had a great deal of faith in YGMDOAS's smash potential because for it, the bother of a video was created [[not so for BOG) :




    Which to me seems far ahead of its time for HDH to do this. It's not simply a recording of an actual performance on a stage somewhere , it's a created mock up doing something more with unusual outdoor ambience. Who would it have been for? What would be the purpose?

    And then finally , the point of this thread :
    What were the earliest songs that Motown had done something similar for?
