Our 64th show dedicated to playing every single Motown A-side from the label’s inception until its move to L.A. at the end of 1971, catches the label in the throes of struggling to remain relevant.

Yes, they still had chart hits, and yes, much of the material was quite good, but the label simply was not as relevant as it had once been, and the chart positions of the label’s biggest stars spoke volumes about how much had changed since the mid-60s.

Songs from this show include;

Touch – The Supremes

Bless You – Martha Reeves & the Vandellas

Colour Combination – Jack Hammer

Got to Be There – Michael Jackson

I’m Still Waiting – Diana Ross
