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!!! One of my earliest music memories was the Supremes Greatest Hits double album.
