Great video about a part of Motown history.
I fell in love with Tamla Motown as a young boy in England. Whilst my friends were listening to The Beatles & Rolling Stones etc I was listening to The Four Tops, Marvin, The Temps etc and of course Little Stevie Wonder.
Now, in our 60's, whenever we get together, what music do we listen to? Motown! The sound is timeless.
God bless all those who were a part of that wonderful company & thankyou for the beautiful music you gave us. 👍👍
Stevie is a musical genius
I wish it was longer Stevie Wonder is been in our lives since some of us was in grade school (1965-66). I introduced my daughters to Stevie especially the youngest one. They know every song . Thee needs to be a movie of the life and times of Stevie Wonder . LB Boomer Sooner May 4, 2024 Saturday 8:48pm
