Nothing better than Motown records the best ever songs and groups
For real! The absolute best music.
Simply put the greatest label in the history of music ☮️
Brian Holland: "It ended for whatever reasons..." Joy: "You were both married, that's why." This is why I love Joy.
lol
Joy makes no sense. Everything is not comic. She is all about sex sex sex and it gets disgusting at a certain age.
She needs to talk serious for her age
@@hihoyono7206 ….Good point.
Diana Ross wasnt married tho.He was she was not at the time..she was only like 18 or 19
Old Motown adage: "Your very Motown if, you announce your new wedding date while your still married"
The sound of Detroit, people 💙
I remember lovin' Motown songs in the 60's, never gets old 🤗
@Terry Hawkins 👍. I remember when The Supremes sang on Ed Sullivan, that was BIG!!
@Terry Hawkins My Girl, talkin' about my girl 🤗
The greatest song writing team ever Holland Dozier Holland. We lost Lamont Dozier I grew up listening and playing their great songs over the airwaves, at all the radio stations I worked at in this country. Now I play them on my internet radio show Classic Soul and The Doowoop Hour me The Masterblaster. Lamont all the great songs you wrote will live on forever RIP brotha.
Papa was a rollin' stone might be one of the best songs of all time.
They didn't write that song
@@donaldmack2972Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
@@jimmiesmith5811 exactly right
Thank you view- give them flowers while they are alive👌
Seen them all in the Motown glory days outstanding and they were the best talking with the people outside giving autographs and they gave it everything they got
Motown Rocords Music Over 60 Year's Still Feels My Soul In 2020 From Oakland.Ca 🎶😀🎶💓🎶
That just goes to show that good music is timeless. It never dies.
Not only prolific songwriters, they seem like very humble people. They were the geniuses at Motown. R.I.P. Lamont Dozier.❤️🙏
i love Motown music!!!
me too!
Love Motown! It was a great show today.
It's about time that they're getting their recognition. I'm buying their book today, and Lamont Dozier's book. I hope their book sales more than compensate for the lack of 💰 they earned at Motown. Thanks for the timeless music HDH!
What would Motown be without these three boys and those three girls? HDH & The Supremes...
Motown has the best roster of musicians, songwriters, and artists in the history of music.
I see one of my favorite Temptations, Otis Williams. My favorite was Ali Ollie Woodson.
Jerry Ventura Otis Williams is an original. I know Ali Woodson is not an original but he is still my favorite Temptation & nothing u can say can change that.
amazing content
now do a story about Motown's unsung best songwriter, Ivy Jo Hunter. he was considered a bit of a rebel, and as a result, his work was pushed to the side or interred in the Motown vaults...but with songs like "Dancing In The Street" and "Ask The Lonely", he held his own ground firmly against HDH, who were favored...until they weren't. Ivy Hunter sorely deserves some accolades and recognition. he, too, is living an active and productive life today. seems a shame to let him go uncelebrated.
mary ruggiero Coming from Detroit I’ve seen his name on Plenty Of 45 s. He was one of Motown greats, Ashford and Simpson too. Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield, Steveland Morris. Syreeta Wright.
@@keithgilliard9191 right you are! so many Motown greats have been all but forgotten. sad considering how much happiness the world has derived, and continues to garner, from them. Steveland did some great work with Ivy Hunter...and did a bit on his own, too, eh? lol!! the amount of talent that went through Hitsville is astounding! artists, producers, writers, engineers, musicians...the list just goes on and on!!
Nothing like being with a beautiful Hispanic woman. ENJOYING listening to Soul Music 🔥😍🔥🙏🏿💛💜
HDH was the real deal @ Motown back in the day. Prolific songwriters and producers. Their music was indeed the soundtrack of my childhood. It put a smile on my face and make me wanna get up and dance! Eddie Holland can sing (I heard some of his early songs), in fact, all three of them can sing as well as write and produce. Eddie and Brian Holland still look good for 80 and 79 yrs old, respectively. #BLACKDONTCRACK
Yes indeed! They most definitely created the soundtrack of our lives!
I got my copy from Eddie himself. Met him on a cruise last year in Europe while I was performing with a Motown tribute act. They loved us so much, that they came to see us perform while they were in London, then is when I met Brian. Legendary
They look grrrreeeaattttt (in my Tony Tiger voice)
Beautiful
MOTOWN FOREVER
You know who else had a huge number of songwriting hits? Mac Davis. Oh man, he wrote for so many people. I'd love to see him again.
Carly Simon, James Taylor, Andrew Lloyd Weber, Paul McCartney, and Dolly Parton as well. So lucky they are all still with us for now.
Old School.
Loving this!!!👏👏👏💗🙌😁💝💋💛💚💜😎😍
AWESOME!!!
There will never be another Motown.
Where is Lamont? His solo career was through the roof...I hope to see Tabu records, Stax and Philadelphia International represented.
Lamont did ok in the mid 70s why can't we be lovers .trying to hold to my woman. fish ain't biten all cried. out try my tonight berry lost one his of his best song writing team when they left he should have payed them right well his lost was their gain and the artists that had on their label they had some good artist on their labels hot was and invictus

Motown producer Shelley Berger is sitting next to Otis Williams in the audience.
whoppi looked nice with the light colored dreads!
Brothers that not twins but could pass as one.
Too much talent in one stage
Whoopo! look that old mop I have in my closet! LOL!
Whoopi , look like that old MOP i have in my closet~! LOL!
Well I lived to see the day. Whoopi Goldberg said something right. Holland Dozier Holland are the greatest song writers of pop music. They leave Lennon- McCartney in the dust. ( I say that; Whoopi didn’t )
Joy is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Back when music were music
Aint nobody coming to see you Otis!
@Linda Hines it's from the Temptations movie tho lol🤣
Why did you chop off the end of the segment?
Rehash stories about them leaving Motown.
berry didn't wanna pay them
@@jimmiesmith5811 Berry paid them they song earned great royalties. Story alleges they was supposed to get stock in Motown. Which didn't happen?
It was great before I figured out Whoopi was involved.
Jesus name amen Whoopi
😆😁😁
SUNNY, THAY WIG IS TOO BIG ON YOU.
WAS THERE ANYBODY THAT DIANA ROSS WASN'T WITH AT MOTOWN?
Hi Lois King! Happy Saturday! I am just seeing this clip from 2020 on You Tube. You must read Eddie and Brian Holland's book, "Come And Get These Memories." Brian explains how he and "Diane" met, and unlike all Diana "haters" describes her as one of the most beautiful women her ever met, and the kindest. He had even considered divorcing his wife to marry Miss Ross. There were many men at Motown Records who liked her; she wasn't necessarily involved with them.
@@michellekirkendall818 Michael Marvin and Stevie all loved. I do believe her and Smokey were together
@@gracegreen1859 At this time, it's a very old story. In Ross' book "Secrets Of A Sparrow" (1993) she describes how she and her friend would listen to his group's rehearsals. They were neighbors. She also asked him to audition her group, later. Mary Wilson mentions a Diana/Smokey relationship in her book; who knows, maybe, maybe not.
@@gracegreen1859 Marvin Gaye was married to Anna Gordy from 1960 to 1977.
@@gracegreen1859 I don't know if my message printed or not, regarding Smokey Robinson. He and Ross were neighbors, she and a friend watched him and his group rehearse often. She eventually asked him to audition her group. She mentions this in her book "Secrets Of A Sparrow" (1993). Mary Wilson, in her 1986 book mentions an "affair." They may have been together, or maybe not. Both are "tight-lipped" on the subject.
Reparations tho?
...that part!
Reparations are in part for the free labor blacks were forced to provide for decades, the free labor that built the country, including the WHITE House.
Sharon Massey kill all the Talk, just me pay me like you owe me for my ancestors blood.
@@jasonmurphy9855 "Reparations tho?" struck me as being a white person objecting to reparations. What is that comment supposed to mean, then?
Sharon Massey it's meant to provoke individual thought on these topics that have been too long shelved and obfuscated. Think for your self. Wrongs of the past can delayed , but not for ever?? Confronting the ugly past is hard but necessary.
