MOTOWN ON THE TAMI SHOW

Motown's slogan was "The Sound Of Young America." I think that classic Motown records still make people feel young, but here are some videos from when their music really did appeal to young folks (and it's a glimpse of when the artists themselves were still young!). Check out these performances by Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross and The Supremes (I couldn't find any videos online of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles from The TAMI show, but they played also).

THE GREATEST ROCK CONCERT FILM EVER?

Rolling Stone writer David Fricke claims that The T.A.M.I. Show is the best concert film ever. Based on that, I just put it in my cart on amazon. The artists playing at this one concert, recorded October 29, 1964 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium include Jan & Dean, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, James Brown and The Rolling Stones.
