Happy 50th anniversary Tamla Motown!! My favourite kinda music. It's hard to choose just one but I'd say Going to a Go Go would be my no.1. What's your favourite? Which one did you buy first? (it's Motown Monday on Smooth radio if anyone's interested)
You're right Robinia it is hard to choose just one, 'Get Ready' by The Temptations is a fave as is your pick 'Going To A Go Go' but I'm gonna go with 'I'll Keep On Holding On' by The Marvelettes - Belter !!!
ooh, brilliant tracks thanks! I'm going to be listening to them all day (in between the radio ones)...I'm expecting the gas service man...I hope he likes loud Motown. :o)
The first LP (!) I bought was Chartbusters Vol 3 with the lovely silver cover. It cost every penny I had on me & I had to walk home.
