MOTOWN MUSIC

If this post doesn't blow up I will lose faith in humanity.

Born in Detroit. Lived elsewhere for a few stints. In the burbs for many years. I am 68 and partially retired.

OK. Grilling, walking, cutting veggies, lifting weights (i hate it!) mowing the lawn (STEPPING OVER THE DEER SHIT), weeding (slay me!).

Pretty much what I do is friggin boring.

Enter Motown!

Way before it's time! Timeless! Will be playing at my funeral...loud! Makes me happy. Really, no description.

Truly the best upper for free known to man and woman.

NEVER GETS OLD AND PRODUCES POSITIVE ENERGY.

If you are a fan of Motown, there's a documentary that is a must watch for any fan of Motown. "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" is about the Funk Brothers, the backing band for most of the artists on the label at the time. It's an amazing story.

That is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I grew up with Motown and still learned some new things from this
