Totally. Jackie Wilson performing "Lonely Teardrops" is a perfect combo of that proto-Motown type song and performance with the suit and charisma that J&A like so much about the crooners. Definitely a great place to start at the beginning of a journey down the Motown rabbit hole. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2nEfuE8Pw4U.html There are a couple of performances from the Ed Sullivan show that have better video quality than the performance I linked above but I don't like them as much. It sounds like they upped the tempo a bit to squeeze the song into the time slot, causing the beat to feel rushed and fall out of that "head bob" pocket.

@VanDiemensLair 2 года назад

The Temps essentially had 3 leads; David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams. Ruffin is the singer here and was the more prolific of the three. He was fired from the group in 1968 as drugs and ego contributed him into thinking he was bigger than the group. He started to be unreliable as he would show up late or miss gigs. He also thought the group should be renamed David Ruffin and the Temptations (much the way The Supremes renamed themselves pushing Diana Ross’ name to the forefront). He was replaced in the group by Dennis Edwards. Ruffin as a solo artist never attained the level of success he had with The Temps.

Not sure if anyone answered your question...... When Berry Gordy started Motown he hired the best musicians and songwriters to play the music for the Groups signed to the Motown label. A great example was bassist James Jamerson. You can hear proof of this on the Four Tops song, "Reach Out I'll Be There"....even better when you listen to it using speakers or headphones that produce good Bass! Berry Gordy hired a dance choreographer named, "Cholly Atkins" who choreographed the dance moves for most of the Motown artists especially the Temptations. The Four Tops were sort of the Rebels and did not want to show up to the choreography sessions but made their own choreography. Every temptation song has different dance moves. They were handsome, talented and any one of them could pick up a microphone and sing solo. The Temptations became so famous they were even given their own television show. Here is a youtube video one of Cholly Atkins television appearances... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LVxqKhwuyr4.html

Al Green wasn't a Motown artist. During his peak years in the '70s he recorded for Hi Records. Al Green was a Memphis guy, who sang Memphis soul; unlike the more polished and pop-friendly Motown, the sort of Memphis soul personified by Green (and, earlier, such Atlantic and Stax/Volt artists as Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Sam & Dave, etc.) was grittier and had a more pronounced R&B feel to it.

A Motown drum roll and some of the best ‘baby please!’ vocals to start the song from David Ruffin! There certainly a tendency to immediately grab your attention in early Motown

I like the way you described how the crooners led you to jazz and that led you back to Motown. As your musical education progresses, you'll start to see how each genre leads to the next -- rock & roll evolved from R&B and country; R&B evolved from jazz, blues, and gospel; country evolved from Appalachian folk, gospel, acoustic blues, and traditional Irish music; modern jazz had evolved from too many different styles to list. And it's all worth listening to. Some you'll prefer more than others and that's perfectly fine. It's the discovery of music you love that's the fun part. BTW, Amber, your curls are absolutely beautiful! Love you guys!

You cannot BELIEVE what it was like growing up with all of the classic rock bands you're now discoverinng, but on top of all of that, we had MOTOWN. I mean it was insane - The Four Tops, The Temptations, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Mary Wells, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, Martha and the Vandellas, Edwin Starr, Junior Walker and the All Stars, the Commodores, Billy Preston, Rare Earth, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Pointer Sisters, Lionel Ritchie. The list and hit songs just goes on and on. You two will never be out of a job for the rest of your lives if you keep covering all of these incredible bands.

Try a live performance by 'The Spinners' of their song called "Rubberband Man"

@gregsager2062 2 года назад

@mister stubbs "It's a Shame" was the biggest hit that the Spinners had as a Motown act, as it reached #14 (they recorded for the Motown subsidiary label V.I.P., which, contrary to the label's name, was sort of the minor leagues of Motown acts), but they didn't chart much in the '60s as a Motown act. It wasn't until after they left Motown and signed with Atlantic, hooked up with songwriter/producer Thom Bell, and shifted their sound to the Philly soul in which Bell specialized, that the Spinners became a major hit-making act in the '70s.

@styrophome3342 2 года назад

@Jordan Moses I think Eliot meant that Berry Gordy was responsible for the total package built, where no details was left to chance. Inhouse this and that, from producers, studiomusicians to designers and choreographers. All polished to perfection in all acts, or they did not get records released, had to fit the mold for the label 100%. Had to be able to move in sync with the group or you were out, unless you were too good and could not dance, then the act became known as that artists name & the whatevers. As happened with the temptations because David ruffins Ego grew too big, so it became David Ruffin and the temptations, he danced his way and they danced choregraphed behind him as his backupsingers.

@psrandy1 2 года назад

Like I have told you Rob I was born and raised in Detroit during the 60s. Saw all these guys. Temptations (David and Jimmy Ruffin) Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and the Pips, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Lionel Richie and of course they had Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 (1968). Can you imagine having all that talent in one town??? OMG IT WAS AWESOME. Most of the Motown groups had choreography going for them back in the day. The Temptations had "Temptation Walk". Yeah that is how blessed I was to be able to grow up watching these acts from 60s through 70s when it was really AWESOME.

The Beatles covered three Motown hits in their early recording days: "Money (That's What I Want)" by Barrett Strong, "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes, and "You Really Got a Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Motown artists reciprocated by recording lots and lots of Beatles songs. The Beatles loved Motown, and Motown artists, producers, and songwriters loved the Beatles.

You need to watch “Hitsville” and more importantly “Standing In The Shadows Of Motown “ First tells how the acts not only learned to sing the “Motown Way” but to dance, dress, etiquette, how to do interviews, the whole package. “StandIng In The Shadows” is about The Funk Brothers, a collection of some of the greatest musicians that made “The Motown Sound “ LOTS to learn young ones.

The dances were were well choreographed and practiced intently. One group would show up at another’s show and they would have “song wars “. The more complex the routine was the more applause you got. There was a special movie a few years back that took you inside the band. All the highs and lows of the members. Not sure of the name though. My personal favorite is “Papa Was A Rolling Stone”.

@timothykscarborough7047 Год назад

Believe or not, they all had a dance choreographers to help with their presentstion once they got their voices down. Earlier on the lead singer was David Ruffin. I am 72 years old and loved to go to various live shows. I once saw them on stage at a veznue called the "Cow Palace" ( I know the name sounds strange but it was a huge arena) in San Francisco CA about 1964 ( I was 14 years old!) They sounded the same as their records which was high quality. They were all the Original (founding) members of the group. To show you how memorable they were to me; they were all wearing a light kinda purple suits and theiir dance steps were coordinated with David Ruffin standing in front as the lead singer) and the steps were varied according to the songs.. And the crowds were mixed black and white..I am white!! And one big happy family!!😘 I had bought many vinyl records (called 45's) in my time, and most of them were Motown labels. I also saw there the Righteous Brothers, the Four Tops, and many others! Those were the days when you could see several headliners at once for only $5-$7 depending on the seats! Each one brought down the house!! I could tell you more, but I wouldn't have the time! What memories! There is an old movie you might want to see on the group and theiir lives called "The Temptations" it is pretty accurate.🌹I am phoneless right now (on it's way!) some name is Rose and my brother is Timothy, so if I sound like a girl...I AM! 🙋
