There’ll be music everywhere
PBS showed a Tribute to Motown at the White House last night. I thought I would watch just a minute of it, but I got pulled right in.
I’d kind of forgotten Dancing in the Streets. That was stupid. Martha and the Vandellas. Yeah.
“Heat Wave” is much better!
“Heat Wave” also great! But I really do like “Dancing.”
Both. Both shall win; both shall have prizes.
I don’t think they’re Motown, but don’t forget the Ronettes! Oh, Ronnie Spector. . . .I will be your little baby.
Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby
Be my baby now-ow-ow.
Not Motown?! Surely they must be.
God* is the reason you can’t resist Martha and the Vandellas.
