Since you're here, please introduce yourself:
What's your name?
Joerg
Where're you from?
Cologne, Germany
Birthdate (Month and Day) or age:
January 14, 46 years
Why I love Motown:
The rhythm, the sound, the (hi)story, the music, not always the lyrics - James Jamerson, Jack Ashford, all other Funk Brothers - in short - I'm a huge fan !!!
If I can recall, the first time I heard a Motown song...
Motown was the first music I heard consciously, I must have been around 13 at that time. I even remember the first songs: Ball of Confusion, I'm still waiting, Abraham, Martin and John, Sinner Man (Can't find this one as an mp3 - shoot), Way back home (Instrumental version) etc. etc. I almost instantly fell in love with that sound.
Everytime I hear that Motown Sound:
I start to listen and my mood goes up !
Favorite Motown Artists:
Marvin Gaye, Temps, Four Tops, Supremes, Gladys Knight & Pips, Martha
Favorite Motown Songs:
What' going on, Ain't too proud to beg, What becomes of the brokenhearted and the ones mentioned above.
Please post in a new thread
Dear Motown lovers,
I directly start with a question - having read the book over James Jamerson and the one written by Jack Ashford (Motown-a view from the bottom) I am very much interest to learn which musician played on which Motown song. Is there a list or some other source of information ?
Thanks a lot in advance
