This is a tribute and favorite rare track of mine by the great Tammi Terrell from 1966 on Motown, hope you like it as much as I do. PS This is the first and original recording of this song! JOHN
David Ruffin recorded this on Motown label rather than the Soul label he was on, not that long after in the early 80's he died (mentioned in the brilliant film "The Temptations"-1998), a departure from my Classic 60's Motown for a change, and was a US Gold disc! What do you think? JOHN
Marvin released this on Tamla 54138 in July 1966, and Sept in the UK TMG574. I saw Marvin here at the Brighton Centre just before he died, brilliant show, and he was very professional. John
This is really a forgotten gem from Martha, I love the Scottish sound of it, from the days when Motown was in the charts constantly! sadly no longer the case.
Here's another superb track from 1965 of Brenda Holloway, who came from Atascadero, in Northern California.She was also the featured singer on the Beatles American Tour in 1965, as they loved Motown also.
Some will know this track as it was played for years. The Originals were among many Motown groups like The Marvelettes, The Elgins, The Velvelettes to name a few, that were not noticed much here in the UK when the recordings were first heard. So here is the truly "Originals!" John
This is probably the most well known of Shorty Long's tracks which arrived in May 1968 on the Soul label of Motown. As I said before he died in a boating accident in June 1969. A short lived career. John
This was released by the great Kim Weston in the UK in March 1966 - TMG554, and was very quickly up in the charts. Again another favourite of mine. John
This is an unreleased 1966 track from Brenda Holloway, also originally known as "Reconsider" I've several to come. Hope you like this one, let me know of course.
The Marvelettes were the first girl group on Motown to provide a hit back in 1961 with "Please Mr Postman" later recorded by The Beatles as they were fans of Motown. "When You're Young And In Love" was their most well-known track. John
I thought I'd add this well-known Supremes track, although others have added fine versions to YouTube already. This is my original 45rpm single of it, on Motown 1172 in 1970. JOHN
This is from the late and wonderful Mary Wells, once dubbed the "Queen of Motown", who can forget the famous "My Guy" back in 1964, like this rare track, I've some lovely ballads by her.
This is an odd addition, it's Norman Whitfield's group from Motown's Rare Earth label, who had a Gold single with "Smiling Faces Sometimes" but are largely forgotten today, sadly.
R Dean Taylor used to write for Motown as well as record, he was very great friends with Eddie Holland and wrote "Love Child" for The Supremes amongst others. This famous track came out on VIP 25042/March 1967, and made him the first white singer to get a hit on Motown! John
Here's a 1968 track I thought I'd add it's a largely forgotten one by The Marvelettes but nice all the same I think. Could have been called "The Marvelettes and The San Remo Golden Strings" too!!
From Tamla 54116 label May 1965/ TMG 518 June 1965 in UK, this is another well-known original track by The Marvelettes. Hope you like it. Please let me know? thanks.
This is unusual for me as it's an early 1960's composition by Berry Gordy that he never used until this one with Shanice which he produced in 1998. I like it a lot.
This one by "The Marvelettes" was never released on single at the time, but I know it became popular with the "Northern Soul" fans, let me know if you like it? Thanks John
This well known track from Edwin Starr which was on Gordy 7083 and TMG 672 in UK it is a request from dancingnature, sorry about the delay in putting it on.
Hope you all like it and will comment?
This good track was released on "Tamla" label in October 1964, and later in December 1964 on "Stateside" UK (Motown) Please let me know if you like it too? :-) JOHN
The late Earl Van Dyke and the Funk Brothers, Motown's band of musicians, played in the background on virtually every single, there was a very good film about them a few years ago, called "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown"
