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
