I'm VERY excited to share this episode with you - a lot of time went into preparing the playlist and researching for the show. I wasn't exposed to too much of Motown's music growing up, so this was a major foray into unfamiliar territory for me. I was surprised by 1) how much I was familiar with that I didn't know was specifically Motown and 2) how much I LOVED nearly everything I listened to. I hope you enjoy this show and learn as much as I did!
P.S. The first three instrumentals in between the sets are not Motown but jazz from 1966.
Featuring songs by The Supremes, Charles Lloyd Quartet, the Temptations, Four Tops, The Monitors, The Velvettes, Larry Young, Martha & The Vandellas, The Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder, The Mynah Birds, Wayne Shorter, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Marvelettes, Earl Van Dyke & The Motown Brass, and Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston
