I don’t mean to be crude, but it would have been almost poetic if this was Part 69 in our Motown series, because today’s show – rather coincidentally, really – collects some of the sexiest material ever released by the label. Partly, it really is no coincidence at all; Motown simply got ‘looser’ with its quality control standards, allowing stuff that previously would never have gotten past their built-in censors. Besides, the times demanded the change. The ‘70s were not called ‘the Me decade’ for nothing, and disco was nothing if not hedonistic.
Today’s show will also be a bit different from the others in this series in that we won’t do nearly as much talking, as we’d hate to disturb the mood…
So, we start off with sexy material and ‘keep it up’, so to speak, for most of our show. Here’s what we feature today, in our 67th (damn….) episode dedicated to Motown;
1) Touch Me in the Morning – Diana Ross
2) Let’s Get It On – Marvin Gaye
3) Boogie Down – Eddie Kendricks
4) Dancing Machine – The Jacksons
5) Harmour Love – Syreeta
6) Love Machine – The Miracles
7) Quiet Storm – Smokey Robinson
8) Love Hangover – Diana Ross
9) I Want You – Marvin Gaye
10) Don’t Leave Me This Way – Thelma Houston
11) Got to Give It Up – Marvin Gaye
12) Brick House – The Commodores
