@OneEyedDiva ... Didn't know the Supremes and the Temptations were once one group before they split and achieved fame each in their own right. Here they are together again together on the Ed Sullivan show and singing a medley of each other's hits

We've seen Motown The Musical twice. The interweaving of the singers and the politics that took place under Berry Gordy and Motown were fascinating. The characters of Berry Gordy, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross and The Supremes and Marvin Gaye are just a few that are portrayed. Diana Ross and her affair with Berry Gordy are the stuff of legends. She definitely had a "leg up" in the industry.

Not to mention, the music is great!

I had her album back in the 1980's also.

We just saw Tina Turner the Musical so this came to mind.

I loved this band's album from the 1980's. I've never stopped listening to it.

Another song from View From the Hill's great album In Time.

One of the only hip-hop songs I like. (I don't actually know - is this hip-hop?) It's a great song.

I love me some Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles!
