Re: 50 Years of Motown

Jnr Walker - where do you start ?

Great artist, with perhaps more artistic freedom than many others at the label. In a class by himself.

Anyone know how big the Motown back-catalogue is ?

One thing that does sadden me now, is the dwindling number of artists from those days - every now and then I read another obituary, such as Levi Stubbs or Mike Terry (both late 2008) and it seems the very core of Motown is passing away.

But, not wanting to be despondent, here's a Four Tops number from a live show in 2004, with Levi Stubbs age 68 still showing he can do it 'live'
