Who cares? Many Americans are tired of getting black culture shoved down their throats by the entertainment industry and government. It’s all queers and blacks these days...
as a mostly white, music Loving teen drummer who bought “Hit Parade” magazine and read it from cover to cover every issue, I can honestly say that MOTOWN MUSIC changed MY life, thoughts and viewpoints more than any other single thing in my life! music is more than just sound, it is the Soul of life.
So you want the drugs, the LSD, the counterculture, the leftism, the degeneracy in music, but you don't want the traditional values?
Who was more conservative, the Beatles or Motown?

Then came The Temptations’ “Psychedelic Shack”
Best thing about Motown was “The Funk Brothers”
I loved (still do) Motown.
When it came on the scene, skin color wasn’t a thing as far as I can recall. Just loved the music. The Supremes is the first group I remember really getting in to.
people of all races and religions, working together harmoniously for a common goal,”
Nowadays saying that will get you labelled as an “Uncle Tom”.
Berry Gordy Jr. and his musicians deserve a very hearty well-done.
Thank you!
Proof there is no racism.
I agree. As a 13 year old white boy growing up in a small coastal logging town, I'd never seen a black person in my life. There was tons of racism for reasons to this day I don't know why. We had no interaction with blacks. Now Swedes? That was different. ;-)
Then the Motown era came along and I was madly infatuated with the likes of Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and so on. My toe could not tapping when Sam and Dave, the Temps or Wilson Pickett sang. The music was a bridge.
I had a mad schoolboy crush on Diana Ross.
It wasn't back then. Motown dominated the music of the 60's,,,,,,like it or not.
Motown dominated the music of the 60’s,
And Stax.
Before my time.
Obviously. Because you’re talking out your ass.
Listen to Motown to this day...grew up with the Temps, Tops and the rest. No twerking, profanity or rap, just wonderful music.
Used to take the bus to downtown St. Louis to buy my 45’s at “The Record Bar”.... owned by actor Kevin Kline’s family.
All long gone now...can’t venture downtown even with extra clips of ammo.
What I said stands. Only useless boomers, the same creepy, greedy and communist generation that is dragging America to hell, care about Motown.
haha. Nothing like doubling down on it.
