Christmas In The Motor City 2

When you think of the music of Detroit, Motown is probably the first label that comes to mind. Nothing beats those singles Motown was putting out in the mid-to late-Sixties, but I wish they didn't have to soundtrack every Vietnam war movie out there. Sure, some of them use some Credence Clearwater Revival, but you know that Martha and The Vandellas are going to show up sooner or later. Anyhow, here's a little bit of non-music from the great label, a handful of Merry Christmas and Season's Greeting clips from 1966. Some big names here, so be sure to sprinkle these tracks liberally around your Christmas comp this year (that's kinda why I'm sharing this so early in the season). This is Seasons Greetings From Motown (Motown 7" 45 RPM 2482/2483, Mono, 1966). Enjoy!

  2. Never seen this one before and can’t recall ever gearing holiday greetings from Shorty Long. Nice one!

    1. “Hearing”, not “gearing”. Although it is Motown, so I suppose “gearing” works.
