In some ways this is the quintessential Motown program from our series. In other ways, they are ALL quintessential, but this is the first show that exclusively covers music from the year 1966, a year when Motown’s domination was well known, and widespread. It also has a typical mixture of fabulously famous hits, a few lesser-known gems, and a handful of rarities that go to show just how limitless the talent pool was in Detroit in the mid-sixties.

This show covers;

One More Heartache – Marvin Gaye

Shake Me Wake Me (When It’s Over) – The Four Tops

Get Ready – TheTemptations

Helpless – Kim Weston
