[Tiny Tim]

This is cool, it's a version of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On with the late great James Jamerson's awesome bass line isolated.

Nice thread Thumper...nothing wrong with a little Motown in the house.

Diana Ross & The Supremes

 

[Magic]

Waves hand....Make sure I am on the Motown bus

 

[Soot and Stars]

I honestly believe that Boyz II Men was the last breath of Motown! IMO it seems to be the death of true R&B as well! Since they are the most successful male R&B vocal group of all time that's not the worst way for the sound to die out! They are true talent IMO! Here's some great Boyz II Men tunes!

Good input Soot. And you make a valid point. If you noticed in the write up about Motown. Berry Gordy Jr. sold Motown so that could be why things didn't stay on track or along the lines of the following format of artist.
But I liked Boy's II men when they were about the Hip Hop scene.
Even liked Bel Biv Davoe and few other Hip Hip quartets..

Back to some of my favorites!!
And this classic that was written for the Temptations and was passed over by them only to be sang by Edwin Starr and became a big hit for him and Motown..
