HOW MUSIC CHANGED PART 137-68 –MOTOWN'S LATER YEARS, PART 68

PLAY THE SHOW

Today is our 68^th episode dedicated to Motown

Records and all of its subsidiary labels. Our story remains chronological,

but we have reached a point in the mid-70s where the label’s relevancy

began to take a significant hit. For that reason, our coverage is more of a

gloss-over for this period, rather than the microscopic analysis we utilized

up until now. Since we are ‘panning back’, so to speak, we can cover the

remainder of the decade in one show.

Next week, we’ll complete our coverage of Motown entirely.

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

1)Sir Duke – Stevie Wonder

2) Mellow Medley – Easy/Three Times a Lady/Sail On/Still – The Commodores

3) Schlock Medley – With You I’m Born Again – Billy Preston & Syreeta / Endless Love – Diana Ross & Lionel Richie / One Day in Your Life – Michael Jackson

4) Lionel’s Mellow Schlock Melody – Truly/All Night Long/Hello/Say You Say Me – Lionel Richie

5) Cruisin’ – Smokey Robinson
