Back when music was music.

Motown did leave, though. All the way to the coast.

Caught the last train 🚂🚃🚃🚃 to the coast?

Rock ‘n’ Roll’s been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died...

It was The Funk Brothers who really made Motown.

“My Girl” by the Temptations…my all time favorite song.

My will mandates that it be played at my funeral.

Bah, in ‘56 some guys were probably whining that Buddy was ruining rock n roll by mixing in latin music with it.

Music never stays the same, it’s always changing. Even very formalized styles like classical. You can’t stop the clock.

Also, one of sixteen vestal virgins left for the coast.
And although my eyes were open, they might have just as well’ve been closed.

Motown was about love, yearning, loss, and hope in real life with comprehensible lyrics and great showmanship. In the day, I liked it better than Rock and Roll — and still do.

When Marvin Gaye was recording What's Going On, he went up and down the strip looking in bars for Kimmy Jamerson.
