Gordy wanted Diana Ross to be featured more prominently in this production but it was Dusty's friendship with and admiration for Martha that led to the Motown themed show to begin with. That's why you see the Dusty/Martha and The Vandellas duet and not one between Dusty and Diana.

It's clear that in other shows that I've seen that Dusty felt a better affinity singing with Martha and she wasn't parting from that.She helped put Motown on the map by promoting them on her shows so she pulled the strings!

I was in the military in Germany in 1965, but managed to secure a pass to get to the UK to check a couple of the Motown Review concerts out. Apparently, the shows hadn't been selling out until Dusty Springfield got involved. It was the first time I had seen a revolving stage. Unlike today when they have to waste time between acts, there were three acts on a split stage, and when one finished, the stage rotated, and the other act would get going.

It was a time of change and all these people were young and vital and at their best. Most of them have since passed. I still can't believe Mary Wilson is no longer with us. I think I will save it and watch it every so often and tell my friends and family about it. Just fantastic.

I was 17 at the time, and not really into Motown - I was a follower of the Stones, and the grittier type of R&B, but a friend of mine was a fan of soul, and he got a couple of tickets. I remember being particularly fascinated by Dusty, and the way in which she was very much in charge of the production. I was also intrigued by the TV studio setup. I have come to realise over the years just how lucky I was to be present at this one-off event.

@knockshinnoch19502 жыл бұрын
This is NOT a Dusty Springfield show, It's a special edition of the weekly UK pop TV show Ready Steady Go! broadcast on Friday early evenings between 1963-1966. This special was taped AFTER the Motown Tour of the UK had ended. It was badly timed- had Gordy arranged for the show to be taped and broadcast BEFORE the tour started then it would've been terrific promotion. As it turned out the tour played to half full houses at most venues as the Motown artists were still relatively unknown in the UK apart from the Supremes.

This is a very important piece of history… Thanks for posting. This episode was instrumental in breaking the Motown label and its iconic acts internationally. The Supremes ( and Motown) had just scored their first number one in England with “Baby Love”..This was during their first tour overseas- which didn’t sell well initially… It was proposed by Vickie Wickam (sp?) to do the show with Dusty presenting them… From there it was history… Motown was established around the world and not just the states. Side note, Smokey was sexy and magnetic …..they all were superb!

It was Vicky Wickham, she was assistant producer of Ready,Steady, Go! Actually, Dusty suggested the idea to her. Berry Gordy wanted the Supremes to open with dusty but she said no she wanted Martha Reeves. The Temptations weren’t on the tour, which wasn’t going well, they were brought over just for the show. After this special the shows sold out. Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson have often expressed their gratitude to Dusty. What a great time it was to be young then. Seeing all these acts for the first time as well as the blues artists in specials and then of course the greatest half hour of all, Otis Redding’s RSG! special. Sometimes wish there was a time machine to go back and experience it again.

Dusty was a great singer and so likable. I'm glad she had these American women on the show who were so big in America. While the Brits sent us great bands, America clearly has the most great women singers, many of them black women who came out of gospel churches...men too. So many Motown hit songs where churned out. It makes me proud of our music industry from the early days. Then also, the British rock bands grokked onto our blues singers even before many Americans did, and then rock people like Jimi Hendrix who brought to England by the Animals' Chas Chandler before he had his breakout in America in 1967. Great video! Thanks.

As they say... If Motown won't come to you... What's a British Caucasian girl to do? You go to them and join in! Love Love Dusty! Also let's hear it for those fantastic Funk Brothers! Sure the singers were bad a**. But the real magic of Motown was putting that special blend of Funk Brothers sauce and sass to those classic songs! It's a true magic that can never be duplicated today electronically. The blend of those fantastic musicians had true soul and feelings. A sound which makes their songs relatable, danceable and timeless. Which can still be felt even today! The only other sound that comes close to being a music match to Motown (in my opinion & heart) the wonderful, soulfull The Philly Sound! To me it's a true bleed over or carry over style of Motown with their own special blend of great magic added to their music mix! Nothing like spinnin and listening to their soul classics! *** (while watching the video in 2022) Let's go Supremes! "Baby Baby!" Oh Yeah!!! I still got a few Baby Babies in the ole hair brush left!

Diana is miked louder than all the other singers except Smokey. Gordy's plan to elevate her was already in motion.

Went to see Motown musical this weekend at the Pantages in Hollywood and I just cannot get enough of this great music. I remember my brothers listening to these great American legends. I was just a kid but now in my 50's they bring back great memories. We were first generation Mexican American and we loved all these groups. Probably helped me with my English too!!! Human Nature in Vegas does a great tribute to this era as well. We have truly been blessed to have Berry Gordy, Smokey, Stevie, Marvin, Diana, Martha, and all of these Motown legends.

This is so nostalgic. It's just fabulous. Takes me back to high school and the music I so enjoyed. Big praise to Dusty for bringing this together with her wonderful love Motown. Smokey - Martha and all the rest. Dusty bless your heart. I miss you.

I understand that Dusty and Martha Reeves were very close, that Martha wanted Dusty to be part of the Vandellas. Only in England would they have "Earl Van Dyke" in large letters by the Motown sign in the back! They appreciated the musicians.

“I’m Just About At The End Of My Rope But I Can’t Stop Trying I Can’t Give Up Hope”...those are some of the greatest lyrics ever written in a love song. Smokey is that dude...

Apparantly, Florence and Mary were then stil allowed to stand next to the Prima Donna. But that's een minor detail. Never heard them sing Shake, and they do it really in a awesome way. Martha Reeves! The Temptations!! Dusty doing a great job. The magnificent Smokey. The awasome David Ruffin. The whole atmospere, almost too much. I believe in mankind again after seeing this! Thanks a lot for posting, and good luck and best wishes to all soul lovers of this world! Have fun, enjoy it to the dephts of your heart, this kinda music will never, never die. PS my remark about the Supremes was meant to be ironically. I belief Diana is a star of world class.

That's right. Starting with their fifth #1 song Back in My Arms Again Diana started insisting that Flo and Mary stand at least five feet behind her. (See Hullabaloo performance) At that time she also started asking for her own hand mike so she could walk around stage during her performance.

I'm ready Jon Savages book "1966" right now, reading about when Motown/Tamla invaded London. And here it is on KZbin, preserved and displayed for all of us to witness. Thank you for sharing this treasure; you've made this old man's day. Peace and love I bring to you, as you have to us...

It invaded before 1966. At least amongst the mods. Though originally Motown records were distributed under another label. The first Supremes number one which had Tamla Motown on the label was Stop In The Name Of Love. The Earl Van Dyke backing group were amazed to find that young, white British mods knew who they were as did British bands as in the USA they were unknown, only the stars were known.

Gawd, this was so AWESOME! Love that audience getting into it. "My Girl" so great. Martha Reeves a soul powerhouse. Diana Ross with her 'STAR QUALITY' is so happening. SMOKEY So Smooth. Little Stevie Wonder. Handsome Marvin. Great idea Dusty had to do a special on the Motown Artists. She loved them for good reason, all so great.

I bought this on VHS in the. 80s I'm thinking about getting it transferred onto DVD along with some other Motown and Temptations videos. I really enjoyed this show It's a good thing that kept at least one VCR.
