Oldtimer Souldies Series No. 9 - Motown Memoriez

The Veteranos have taken a trip to the Motor City for our latest offering. As you would expect, most of these tracks are from the Tamla-Motown stable, although there are a couple from other Detroit labels too. Berry Gordy's troops were notorious for covering each other's songs so there are quite a few  examples of that here. The rare color cover pic is from the  Tops' appearance on British television in March 1970. It's from a recently discovered, color video recording of them performing “I Can’t Help Myself” on March 15 for Sir David Frost’s “Frost on Sunday” variety show. I managed to see them at the Finsbury Park Astoria in North London on that particular U.K. trip of theirs - memorable performance and incredible atmosphere ! Maybe you can get the same sense of nostalgia listening to this set. Enjoy, and let us know ! RossyBoy for The Veteranos
