I spent a great deal of this weekend decompressing from my stressfull week last week by watching Murphy Brown season one. I had forgotten just how much I loved that show. I suspect a great deal of my mental image of a smart, cool adult woman came from Murphy Brown. That may explain some things.
Anyway, I also loved the music, and my sad, sad music collection has no Motown. I want to fix this. I don't have an iPod yet, and I don't have a computer or internet connection at home, so it's CDs for me. I'd rather just buy one or two collections, but I'm having a hard time finding one that covers everything.
I KNOW that out there, somewhere, there is a music collection for the MoTown 25th anniversary. My dad had it on cassete tape, and it covered at least six tapes. I'd love to have that version on CD, but I can't find it and I can't remember the name. I know the label is blue, but that's about all.
I love Motown music. The first concert I ever went to was The Tempataions when I was six. I also served my mission in Detroit, although Motown music was long gone. It was still a thrill, though - "Motown!" was the first thought that popped into my head when I got my call.
I think it's fun because it's so singable. It's still wonderful music.

OK, Kat, I am using a few minutes of my alotted(allotted?) thirty to say, if they are considered Motown, that The Commodores sing some of my all time favorite music.

Yes, you absolutely must see "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". It's phenomenal, and I saw it in the 5.50 bin at Wal-mart in Louisiana.
As far as a Motown Collection, I haven't found a box set with all of the artists, but I have been collecting greatest hits albums, one at a time for a year or two.
Of course, start with the Temps, then Marvin Gaye, then Smokey and the Miracles, then the Supremes, then the Four Tops.
Or, you could try Motown: The Classic Years. It's a two disc set with a pretty good mixture. However, just two discs leaves a ton of stuff out. Just search amazon.com for it.

Done. Motown: The Classic Years. Looking at the sleeve, I think that's even the edition I remember having on tape as a kid. Thanks - you're a hero. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000
