    Thanks so much for playing some of the best of Motown. I grew up with the Beatles, CCR, Aretha, and Marvin Gaye. Many of your younger viewers missed out on the great R&B and Soul music of the 60s and 70s. Please play more.

      Even Temptations toning it down so Pedo SINatra's depressing suicidal fart sounds controlling the media then, even this 'elevator music' version by Temptations flushes Sinatra's serial rapist noises. Mob didn't want anyone outshining Mob Punk Francis, so Ed Sullivan got bands on doing PG Sunday Sermon versions. Just enough people found out Sinatra Sucked.

    I'm 67 yrs. old, and in the 1960s, The Ed Sullivan Show was the tv show all of America watched, every Sunday night at 8pm. It was a "Variety" show, where there was something for every age group, and interest in the family. Jugglers from Sweden, Chinese acrobats, Movie stars and comedians and yes, for the younger generation the latest Rock stars or Rock Band that was hot. This included all of the big "Motown stars. Black, white or Brown, the next day at work, or school everybody would always ask, "Hey, did you see The Rolling Stones last night on Ed Sullivan? or did you see Richard Pryor on The Ed Sullivan Show?" If you were invited to be on his show, you had made it, and usually your career took off, staring the very next day.
    Thanks guys.

    I was in the Army in the early 80's when the movie "The Big Chill" came out. That sound track turned me onto all this older Motown music. I was probably the only 18yr old in '83 cranking the Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, etc, etc instead of Iron Maiden and Twisted Sister. Lol! Talk about rabbit holes. So glad I found all that great music.

Also, I highly, highly recommend reacting to another group that performed on the Ed Sullivan Show. And that is The Young Rascals. I recommend Been Lonely Too Long by them on the Ed Sullivan Show. You’ll see why they were considered a great live act. Plus you will see why their drummer Dino Danelli is considered one of the greatest drummers of all time by other drummers.

The single reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100, credited as Rod Stewart With Faces and #13 in Canada. Stewart had previously performed the song with the Jeff Beck Group; live performances were recorded for BBC radio broadcast on the Saturday Club March 7, 1967. Wikipedia.
