You do realize I was kidding, right?

Black grandparents = The whole Atlantic R&B and Motown catalogs accompanied every holiday function ever.

Do not get me started on Sam Cooke, The Four Tops et. al.

Listening to the bass accompaniment by the Motown studio musicians...

Wonderful! 

[K-Mack]

I admit, I never knew what "TCB" meant in that song either.

And, my Mom's side of the family liked that music a lot too.

Ralph, how's the weather in Texas? I don't suppose Columbus is going to be toasty tomorrow. Will check in from on-site

As the saying goes - 'if you remember the 60s, you weren't IN the 60s'.

(BTW, the '60s' were actually about 1965 to 1975.)

I had a reason for starting this post, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

[But I vaguely recall I lived thru the 60s.]

I had platforms shoes (and boots); I had a Nehru jacket; I had leisure suits; I had hair halfway down my back; I even had white bucks; but I NEVER had blue suede shoes!

Wonderful! 

But the one constant in Motown songs is the tambourine.  Have you seen the documentary "Standing in the Shadows" that features the house band the Funk Brothers?

Well off to cold and snow Cleveland!

I consider the 1960's beginning with the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in Feb 1964.

I loved Motown, but I REALLY loved the STAX Memphis sound. Booker T, Isaac Hayes (RIP) Otis Redding............................

+1 for the Sam Cooke reference. He was the man!
