Every Single Motown 'A-Side': Struggling Again
Episode 61
Episode date - August 28, 2009
This is the second Motown show in a row that does not feature very many hits, but that doesn’t mean that the music and its history isn’t interesting. As this show attests, many of Motown’s classic acts were waning, while the newer acts were having a harder time getting established.
This show tells a significant part of that story, featuring the following;
I’d Still Love You – Ivy Joe
In These Changing Times – The Four Tops
Pass the Plate – The Crusaders
Dyambo (Weary Day Is Over) – Hugh Masekela & the Union of South Africa
Uncle Tom – Arthur Adams
What Is Love – The Stylists
Crazy About the La La La – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) – Marvin Gaye
If I Could Give You the Whole World – Hearts of Stone
The Reverend John B. Daniels – Ken Christie & the Sunday People
Candy Apple Red – R. Dean Taylor
I Just Want to Celebrate – Rare Earth
