Can I just ask what has colour got to do with anything?? In my world we are all the same

[@johnnyd5285]

@@khalidfalvey4148 This music, Motown, started around 1960, when the south was still segregated. Music was segregated, black stations played music by black artists, and white stations played white artists. This music crossed over and black and white fans loved it. The radio was forced to play it. Blacks and whites had a common thing they loved, the music. It brought us together. It was the start of integration. How do you not know this?

This gives me a profound feeling of happiness and joy! A point of critic: this performance should continue for hours.

Ron Tyson's first performance with the temptations..... WOW

[@MOGGS1942]

Wonderful. Simply wonderful. I've loved Motown since early 1960' s. These two groups, together with The Supremes, Marvin, Tammi, Martha and her Vandellas, Stevie, and a host of others, make it worthwhile getting up in the morning. Motown occupies a huge chunk of my life, and my heart. Play it every day. Thank you Mr. Gordy, from this ancient white man. PS. I actually got to see Stevie Wonder, and The Temptations, live, in Wales. What great performers they all are.

The golden era of music . I wasn’t born in that era but I know music when I hear, see and feel music, that particular frequency hits the soul.

I remember watching this when it first originally aired in May of 1983. I was 17 years old. It is so surreal looking at this clip now and realizing that the majority of guys on this stage are no longer here any more. The only two up there who are still with us are Otis Williams and Ron Tyson… both from the Temptations.

Abdul Fakir from the Four Tops is still alive

[@sltaylor4491]

Rest in Peace, Dennis Edwards! Lord knows you were so gifted with that beautiful voice! God Bless you and your Temptations!

[@skepchica]
