can't seem to embed this, and it crashed my video card trying - I'll restart and have another go

I never thought I would see the day that someone here would put up some good Motown!!!!

The Four Tops were one of the best.
Here's my favorite tune by them, and like you, I couldn't get the embed code either.

Baby, I Need Your Loving

(Been having a lot of trouble with yt, so I couldn't tell you what sort of visuals there are.)

[Michael]

Love it!

I liked this tune by them a lot too. The trouble is that
1.) This is lip-sync'ed, and
2.) They turned the speed of the turntable up a scoache (sp). It should be a tad slower.

But as we got the dancing, thought to share it:

I remember that song - it struck me in my youth as different somehow .. maybe the name.

You know, I feel these black-american dancers are so constrained in white man's clothing - I feel that way so why not them?

I hear you!

There were break-away african-american bands in terms of dress. Earth, Wind, and Fire were probably the most dramatic.

Here's another one with dancing --- but they are lipsync'ing.
