1960's. Small Sears transistor radio.
I was living in an "inner city" environment. Elementary school age. Tears of a Clown became my favorite song for a while, then more, more, more Motown. My cousins were living only a few miles away. Four boys in that family. Two highly interested in music. One became a pro musician. He still is a pro musician. Last summer Smokey joined a family Zoom call to wish his mom a happy 90th. About 15 minutes before they went on stage (my cousin included). I appreciate his kindness, especially to my family members back stage. I appreciate the art he has shared with us. Also appreciate the kindness of his colleagues-- those on stage and off. And I appreciate my cousin who followed his dream.

^ me too. I love the tributes by today's artists. Joan Osborne doing Jimmy Ruffins "what becomes of the broken hearted", her few lines of "heard it through the grapevine" in the cafe, chilling. Bootsy Collins, Ben Harper, Meshell what's her name all backed by the real Funk Brothers. Fantastic

I had the good fortune to see David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks and Dennis Edwards perform together as "The Voices Of The Temptations" back in the mid/late 80's.
It was great watching them take turns singing lead on their hits. I even got to "slap five" with Eddie Kendricks as he danced down the aisle of Ventura Theater singing "Keep On Truckin' Baby". Their band was really tight and they were all in good form that night.

I like 3 kinds of music...
1) Punk/metal/hardcore 2) Surf music (Beach Boys, Jan and Dean) 3) Motown. Any and all Motown. I love me some Earth Wind and Fire, I stole my parents Motown vinyl collection including an album from Mandrill, who was pretty much unknown, but they saw them playing live at a pride parade in 1970 when my dad was stationed at the Presidio.

Meanwhile, over in Philly...
Philadelphia International Records (PIR) was an American record label based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1971 by songwriting and production duo Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff along with their longtime collaborator Thom Bell. It was known for showcasing the Philadelphia soul music genre (also known as Philly soul) that was founded on the gospel, doo-wop and soul music of the time. This sound later marked a prominent and distinct era within the R&B genre.[1] During the 1970s, the label released a string of worldwide hits that emphasized lavish orchestral instrumentation, heavy bass and driving percussion. Some of their most popular and best selling acts included the O'Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, MFSB, Billy Paul, Patti LaBelle and Lou Rawls. Between 1971 and the early 1980s, the label released more than 170 gold and platinum records. This instrumental cover of Back Stabbers is a lush delight:

This thread brings up memories.
Growing up on the farm we didn't have a lot of influence from the greater society - until the first fair week when I was old enough to stay overnight in the barns with our cattle. I remember as a 9 year old showing my calf at the fair and the radios of the bigger kids were playing Top 40 radio. OMG! My strongest memories of my preteen years are of the Supremes, Orlons, the Tokens singing "The lion sleeps tonight" and The Springfields singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." After the fair that year I bought a Motorola transistor radio that was locked on the local top 40 station for years.

I moved to Detroit in 1998 to go to CCS, and lived there for ten years. Around 2002 I saw a Motown musical at, I think, the Hilberry Theater in midtown/Cass Corridor and it featured the Funk Brothers playing live in the orchestra pit. That was just fantastic.
