Tonight, I'm listening to few classics from Motown, indeed, it is long past time to salute this magnificent sound:

A few from 'The Supremes' 'You Keep Me Hanging On',, and 'Reflections' (with Diana Ross); "Dancing In The Street", by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, , "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", a timeless classic by Marvin Gaye, and "The Tracks Of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles....

I love Motown stuff from the 60's from artists you mentioned. I love the Four Tops and The Temptations as well. I have a sizable collection of Vinyl from that period. Being a musician, I was always interested in the guys who played on all the tracks (The Funk Brothers) If you ever get a chance, watch "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" It's a great documentary on The Funk Brothers.

Around a decade ago, I came across a wonderful Japanese group busking in central Dublin. They were called 'Kuri' and had a wonderful album which I bought, called 'Dancing Of The Wind'.
