How Music Changed Part 137-4: Every Single Motown 'A-Side' Part 4

episode date - June 20, 2008

Episode four in our attempt to play every single Motown A-Side in chronological order is full of superstar artists. Unfortunately, it is not full of hits by these superstars. Rather,

we hear Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, the Temptations and Mary Wells struggling to find an identity. These songs are definitely not the material that their future reputations had been built upon, but it is still fascinating to hear these legendary performers as ‘ordinary’ artists trying to find their own niche on a record label that had yet to find its own significant niche in the commercial marketplace.

Here’s a list of material covered in today’s program;

1) Angel – The Satintones

2) (I’m Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over – Marvin Gay

3) Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide – Marvin Gaye

4) I Don’t Want to Take a Chance – Mary Wells

5) Rosa Lee (Stay Off the Bell) – Andre Williams

6) Misery – Barrett Strong

7) Broken Hearted – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles

8) Mighty Good Lovin’ – Smokey Robinson & the Miracles

9) No Love – Mable John

10) Same Thing – Gino Parks

11) I Know How It Feels – The Satintones

12) Buttered Popcorn – The Supremes

13) Oh Mother of Mine – The Temptations

14) I Am Bound – The Golden Harmonizers
