Full disclosure - I have posted this myself, lol. :ROFLMAO:

I love this song more than I can ever say and you just made my morning so thank you for that.

Best lyric - "Jackson 5 sing along again ..."

But also - "Doo doo wop, oh oh oh, doo doo wop"

Amen to that. Barrett was an exquisite gem and a blessing. We were lucky to have had him.

IKR. He didn't just write 'good' songs, he really did write stuff that turns into the soundtrack of your life in so many ways. Just so many brilliant, brilliant songs.

As you say, timeless classics. :) 💔

"So in June 1963, King allowed Motown to record a speech in Detroit. An estimated 125,000 people attended the rally, which raised money for the SCLC and would come to be known as the Walk to Freedom. While now overshadowed by the March on Washington, the speech King gave at Cobo Hall includes the refrain “I have a dream” in cascading waves of conviction, presaging what would become one of the most enduring lines of the 20th century."

France:

"You helped establish Motown’s first French office in the 70s. What was your aim?
Motown had gotten very little airplay in France. Only a couple of releases – like ‘Fingertips’ by Little Stevie Wonder, or ‘Baby Love’ by The Supremes – were exceptions. The first massive French Motown hits were The Temptations’ ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone’ and Stevie Wonder’s ‘Superstition’. After that, we made sure Motown would get hit after hit."
