Dare I ask? Does anyone like Motown?

Anyone like Motown or are you all going to say "too commercial""?
Don't care, I love it

Love it myself and always have done, although what I really like is the more deep down Southern Soul groove like this...

The great thing about Motown like so many other classic American record labels is that even the records that didn't make it when they were first released are superb, like this one...

Quite right, mate, it wasn't. 500 copies pressed and most of 'em trashed when Berry Gordy decided that Frank Wilson would be better as a Motown producer/songwriter than a performer, thus creating an instant rarity!

Aye, a bit of Diana Ross (solo or otherwise), Marvin Gaye, The Commodores, The Temptations, The 4 tops & even a bit of R.Dean Taylor.

Some classic Diana Ross
