My Bill discovered my love of Motown the hard way.
One, newly wed morning, I came down our stairs for a cup of coffee.
Hubby Bill handed me my special cup, and screeched out, Marvin Gaye died!!!
"WHAT!" a blood curdling scream came out, and I began to flail, coffee flying.
Sobbing, I tried to explain , you have to ease into these things with me, especially death of anyone that I love!!!! You need to know I have a history with Motown, they are a part of my life!!!!
Smokey and The Miracles, Martha and The Vandellas, Marvin, The Supremes, Mary Wells, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Four Tops and the Temptations, all the artist played on my little transistor radio.
Sweltering summers in Florida, no air conditioner, the music cooled me down.
I would prop my radio in the window, to get better reception. Dancing in the Streets raised me to my feet, and Tears of a Clown caused me to sway, slow dancing.
I was Diana Ross with the SUPREME moves. Marvin made me feel ...weak in the knees.
Mr. Gordy, thank you for exposing this young southern white girl, to music that touched my soul.
My husband , of almost 30 years, never forgot the lesson he learned that Motown Day!!!!
Tell wife to sit down before I spring bad news on her, to avoid hearing her life history!!!! Always remember she has "Drama" issues!!!!!!
