57 years ago Berry Gordy Jr, got some of his relatives to loan him $800 and he used the money to start Tamla Records. The small Detroit label would evolve into Motown Records, and the rest is music history.
When I think of Motown Records, I think of my favorite girl group of all time: The Supremes, followed by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Commodores and The first family of Motown, The Jackson Five. Motown provided the soundtrack to my life.
Don’t miss Motown Mondays on the @work network on Z105.9 as we enjoy some of the greatest songs ever made, classic hitz from MOTOWN RECORDS the sound of young america, (now older and wiser america)! This song “Someday We’ll Be Together’ reminds me of my late mother Lillian Augustine Smallwood.
Motown released this song: “Someday We’ll Be Together” as by “Diana Ross and the Supremes,” but Diana was the only member of the group whose voice is on the recording – the backing vocals were sung by session singers. Enjoy!
