Re: Dare I ask? Does anyone like Motown?

Some Motown is Sublime - Black people being people, being singers and musicians. No 'attitude', no glorification of criminality, no ignorance.

This thread is for black American music lovers to post their favourite tunes, not for racially-motivated prats like you to spout their agenda, so why don't you just take a walk and go rant at somebody else?

As played by Big Mick Ward on the wheels of steel, Accy Disco, 1967.

Re: Dare I ask? Does anyone like Motown?

Motown's skilled but mostly anonymous instrumentalists very rarely stepped out on their own. The lone exception to the rule was tenor saxman Junior Walker, whose rough-and-ready, old-school R&B was a marked contrast with the label's typically smooth, polished product. Walker's squealing gutbucket style was inspired by jump blues and early R&B, particularly players like Louis Jordan, Earl Bostic, and Illinois Jacquet. Possessed of a raspy, untrained voice, Walker's singing nonetheless complemented the energy of his sax playing, and he cut a wealth of danceable, party hearty R&B for Motown during his heyday in the second half of the '60s.

Re: Dare I ask? Does anyone like Motown?

I'm in the music business so I like all kinds of music. I wasn't a big fan of Motown in its day, but I appreciate it a lot more now.

Massive at the Casino in the mid-70's. Just goes to show the depth of quality at Motown in the 60's, that this record was left on the shelf for ten years.
