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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
