HOW MUSIC CHANGED PART 137-59 – EVERY SINGLE MOTOWN ‘A’ SIDE, PART 59

PLAY THE SHOW

Our marathon coverage of Hitsville USA continues with our 59^th program dedicated to playing every single A-side released by the label during their tenure in Detroit. By 1971, the label had a much more corporate identity than it enjoyed in the ‘60s, but the hit parade didn’t seem to notice, while the label’s ex-child star Little Stevie Wonder proved that he had a LOT more to offer as he neared his 21^st birthday.

1) Love Makes the World Go ‘Round – Kiki Dee

2) We Can Work It Out – Stevie Wonder

3) I Don’t Blame You at All – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles

4) This Used to Be the Home of Johnnie Mae – Eddie Kendricks
