shyman99 half of them are gone I have saw Mary wells at West bury music fair in 1987 she taught about making my own music publishing my own business and had to be tough. she was great. but down ijy heart she didn't look well until she told entertainment tonight that she has throat cancer and it really scared me. I really love her music and her lectures. Jesus I've you dearly auntie Mary.
Nice to see a video featuring the Motown artists enjoying one another's company. Seems like people on the internet are always focusing on the competitiveness, conflicts, and drama of the Motown family.. No doubt there was competition among the artists but I'm sure there was much love and admiration for each other as well. These people were creating ART together. And yes, I consider it ART because it will last! The Motown singles are little works of art, and almost all of them sound just as good today as they did when they were first released. A lot of other "oldies but goodies" sound like oldies but goodies, still wonderful and nostalgic, but also sometimes dated. Then you turn your sound system up and put on "I Want You Back" or "My Guy" or "What's Going On"" or "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" or any of many other Motown hits and they are truly TIMELESS. I know there was a certain amount of tragedy and bad vibes among some of the Motown folks, but I prefer to just enjoy the magic and skip the gossip and drama. It was the creation of an amazing American success story for one man with a big dream and a surprisingly modest amount of money to invest to make that dream come true; let that be an inspiration to us all !

A thousand stars ! This is one of the best videos that was ever made, and the narrator was perfect. Sooo many heroes !! I would have liked to see more of Suzanne DePasse. She was SO important for Motown, yet there are so few photos or footage of her. And Marvin looks shorter here than i thought he was, around other people. Maybe because he's so tall in my memory as a hero. THANKS for this !!

So much talent from one organization ! Its so awesome for me to say for millions of others that Motown was Music ! Not this new aged non talented stuff they call music today ! Cant forget to throw the biggest talent at the end ! The Funk Brother the best of the best ! If you wanted great musical tracks to expose the singer or singers you had to have the Funk Brothers !! Thanks for this video showing the talent Motown had !! Long live Motown !!
