HOW MUSIC CHANGED PART 137-56 – EVERY SINGLE MOTOWN ‘A’ SIDE, PART 56

PLAY THE SHOW

In 1970, Motown was a different animal than it was in the heyday of the mid-‘60s, but that didn’t mean that the label was suffering. Sure, a lot of the older acts were waning (Martha & the Vandellas, The Marvelettes), but the Supremes proved that there was life after Diana Ross, and Gladys Knight proved that she was ready for anything. This show has its fair share of misses, but the hits more than make up for it. Besides, most of the non-hits were pretty darn good, despite the public ignorance.

Here’s a list of songs covered in today’s show;

1) As Long As I’ve Got You – Danny Hernandez & the Once

2) Tears of a Clown – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles

3) Heaven Help Us All – Stevie Wonder

4) You Keep Me Hangin’ On -Hugh Masekela
