Prior to 1967 great music was just GREAT music for me, particularly rock-n-roll/Soul, but actually ALL genres. But in '67 I discovered that there was a truly special connection between MANY of my most beloved artists... they were all from One Source. And the Source was Motown. It was Marvin & Tammi who first awakened me to this wonderful new [[to me) Truth.
From that point on, in my world of fantasy, no longer was I Thor, Batman or Superman with a lifelong tanning salon membership. I WAS A MOTOWNER. I was one of the Temptations, added to the group as a sixth member before Dennis even came on board. My buddies and little girlfriends were all Motown stars in my mind, firmly entrenched side-by-side with our real-world Star counterparts. Motown made us cool and in-demand.
So yes, I WAS A TEMPTATION, and now that I've spilled my fantasy Motown-flavored beans, my question is are you ready to spill yours for all the Forum to see too? Were any of you also Fantasy Motowners, either under your own name or as an alter-incarnation of an established star? What were some of your greatest superstar accomplishments? Mine included so many #1 records that I lost count. Another accomplishment was never missing a PENNY of royalties due!
Come on, spill those beans!! Can't promise I won't laugh though because I even do that to myself frequenly.
