For anyone who knows me, they know that I’ve been a Motown fan for most of my life now, and I’m only 31. My favorite song of all time is Every Little Bit Hurts by Brenda Holloway. This is a great post. :)

My fav Stevie Wonder tune, Superstition. NOBODY can make a harpsichord rock but Stevie.

I recognized at least three of these songs from the Sister Act films. Is that bad?

One of my earliest music memories was the Supremes Greatest Hits double album. My mom was a bit eclectic in her music choices.. but there was always Motown playing in our house in the 60′s.
Funny thing is that a few days ago, I made a playlist for myself of great songs by the ladies of the 60′s (not just Motown.. there’s some Brits and Phil specter’s songstresses on it too) and as I read this post, my favorite Supremes song started playing… I Hear A Symphony. Thanks for this post and happy birthday Motown!!!
