40 years after Marvin Gaye’s death, never-before-heard music has been found in Belgium. How did the tape, which looks like a basic BASF cassette that was common in the 1980s, end up there? And will fans of the singer who's popularity remains strong get to hear what’s on it? BBC News heard a brief, tantalizing sample from the tape. “In a rather eerie moment, the Prince of Motown almost seemed to live again.” https://flip.it/cAcvye #Culture#Entertainment#Music#MarvinGaye#MoTown
I have the godawful "somebody that I used to know song" in my head. I will probably spray my brain with some #Motown or #Reznor or #shoegaze to remedy the condition but I'm wondering, in a @RickiTarr kind of way, what is your go to song to cleanse your brain of stuff that's gotten stuck there?
I'm going to have a very early #JukeboxFridayNight - it is basically night here anyway, it's still dark out - because a song came to mind immediately for the #DeathsAndDoorways topic. And I have to put it out there because it's such a great tune; I will absolutely insist that this is forever the best Hallowe'en track of all.
A bit of classic Holland-Dozier-Holland for the dark nights. This is R. Dean Taylor with There's A Ghost In My House.
The latest artist to enter NPR's Tiny Desk studio is the legendary Smokey Robinson. He performed six songs including "Being With You" and "The Tears of a Clown," casually introducing the latter as "one I wrote with Stevie Wonder." Sing along with the audience as he closes out the 30-minute set with "Cruisin.'"
"Where Did Our Love Go" is a 1964 song recorded by American music group #theSupremes for the #Motown label. Written and produced by Motown's main production team #HollandDozierHolland, "Where Did Our Love Go" was the first single by the Supremes to go to the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 #popSingles chart in the United States, a spot it held for two weeks, from August 16 to August 29, 1964. https://youtu.be/dfl3EYFjHJU
If you're a #Motown#soul fan & are looking for somewhere to have a drink in #Lancaster tonight, why not join #ProfDJ at Runner Duck Wine Room (Kings' St.) where it will be Motown back-to-back all evening from 8.30.
The venue is lovely (great sound system!), the wine is specially chosen, there's food (and a non-wine menu), and the staff are fab... what more could you want from an evening out?
