HOW MUSIC CHANGED, PART 137-35 – EVERY SINGLE MOTOWN ‘A’-SIDE, PART 35

PLAY THE SHOW

            As we continue our in depth coverage of Motown and all its subsidiary labels, we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of 1967, with the ‘Summer of Love’ fast approaching. Times were changing, and if you listen closely to these songs, you will hear how the label started to make a few adjustments to remain contemporary, and change with the times. Considering how important pop music was to this era and how influential Motown was at that time, it is surprising to see that there weren’t quite as many hits during this period as you may expect. Today’s songs include;

1)    Just Look What You’ve Done – Brenda Holloway

2)    Here I Am Baby – Barbara McNair

3)    Take Me In Your Arms and Love Me – Gladys Knight & the Pips

4)    The Happening – The Supremes

5)    Got to Have You Back – The Isley Brothers

6)    There’s a Ghost in My House – R. Dean Taylor

7)    Festival Time – San Remo Golden Strings

8)    I Wonder Why (Nobody Loves Me) – Billy Eckstine

9)    When You’re Young and in Love – The Marvelettes

10)  All I Need – The Temptations

11)  Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
