Time Life's "The Motown Collection" with Billy Dee Williams

[samuraiman22]

If we had this type of music instead of the trash we have this generation teenagers would make good choices I should know I'm 15!

[melrosemyself]

This is so awesome! I grew up on time life infomercials, and my music taste was largely influenced by these infomercials. I wish I could afford the set, or if I dared to spend the money for it. I know it is a great collection.

[TabethaMiller]

HEY I HAVE THE MOTOWN COLLECTION, AND IT,S GRATE MUSIC(: I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN BORN, IN THE DAYS, BUT I WAS BORN 1992, AND SO WAS MY TWIN SISTER, AND LOOK, IT,S BERRY GORDY, BILLY PLAYED HIM ON THE JACKSON,S AN AMERICAN DREAM I LOVE THAT MOVIE, AND I LEARN SO MUCH FROM IT WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON(:

[job1785]

God I love this music. Why couldn't I live in this era instead of hearing this crap rap music and this metal music today. It's not music.

[QuaiQuai19]

Motown has made my day happy. I always listen to those songs every morning.

[kataisa3]

Motown made their stars go to charm school? Wow! they should definitely bring that back, these old time stars were all class, today's 'stars' are so crass and in need of singing lessons too.

[trinidad300]

The MJ hat and glove in front of billy dee. EPIC!

[WoundTrack]

Hey its lando calrissian!!!

[vitalsfading]

Mutha Fukin Billy D. Mutha Fukin Williams lol

[TheWop4life]

Billy Dee Williams...the cool side of the pillow.

[smashleeandserenity]

I'm watching an infomercial.

[autouniondkw102]

look at the lad 's face in the background (the one with the book) on the right of the singer at 01:44 - he isn't impressed!! Great little film though - nice work.

[GizmoMofo7]

i love motown, but i like underground hiphop as well

[melao9]

I thank my dad for my great taste in music and motown!

[coomason5]

What show is the clip with Junior Walker at 7:32? Handsome man. ;)

[liannasmit]

That's nice that they put the part with MJ's glove and hat in. :-)

PHENOMINAL MUSIC FROM THAT TIME!

10 stars!

[missverda08]

i would luv to see a movie made of motown

[Mj4Eternity58]

@missverda08  Ditto!!!!

[DXman099]

This is when black people were good at singing. not being racist but it's true.

[whayes8084]

@DXman099 NO this is when whites liked our good singers. Now you prefer our rappers or just terrible singers regardless of race. Unless you think Taylor Swift and Britney Spears are "good" singers? I'll put John Legend, Lauryn Hill and many others. Against any singer you guys have to offer.

[whayes8084]

@DXman099 Oh I forgot to add. Not being racist but it's true...

[DXman099]

@whayes8084 Well rap is shit. Even though i listen to it, it's still garbage and i end up tuning it to somthing else.

[speakker]

Moment 5:38 the ladys nipples are showing. This is Not a test

[smashupradio]

@speakker nah bras were just pointy like that back in the 50's and early 60's

[njg2q]

Damn, Bill Dee can sell me anything. The guy made Colt 45 look AWESOME, and that stuff is terrible!

[TheDudar]

Because when i think Motown I think Lando Calrisian

[njg2q]

@TheDudar Nerd alert!  Nerd alert! :-)

[naptownwslm317]

oldies r tha bhest

[rossboy70]

God bless Berry Gordy, The Funk Brothers, Diana, Stevie, David and all Motown...life changing music. Even though I wasn't around for the first sounds, I discovered the Motown Sound and never looked back!! Peace!

[KriqK]

Ahhh, I love watching these old clips of them singing. The music had so much substance back then.

[ECisGod45]

I remember in the summer when this first came out, I would spend hours looking for channels playing this! haha it's such great music

[nicotipro1]

[sabuecw1990]

cool yea mowtown is the best music ever

[AngelaRed]

Now if the kids of Detroit listen to this instead of rap, I will bet my life they would be happier people

[howdyfeller]

@AngelaRed Agree 100 percent. Commercial music is a direct reflection of society. The reason the 70s were such a fun loving and free society was directly attributed to the music that was around in those days. Man i sure miss that time in life where people of all colors and creeds could band together with music.

[tweezee]

@AngelaRed we do listen. if there were jobs here like back then we would be happier. music has nothing to do with it.

[tuzwol]

@tweezee ,music has alot to do with it

[tweezee]

@tuzwol to a kid maybe they would feel like awwww man he is talking about killing so, let me go do it. but were talking about young aldults. if there are no jobs, there is nothing for us to do but get into trouble. there was less crime then for that reason and that reason only. after all lets not forget it was my elders who burnt down the city and never rebuild it to this day. young America is sick of being the blame for the past and present. all due respect.

[laminage]

Did you know that Billy made history by being the First African American Actor to appear on a Soap Opera. It was in 1965 on Guiding Light and he played a guy named Dr. Jim Frazier which would later be played by James Earl Jones and the late Ossie Davis.

[seanridout]

Yeah no one gives 2 shits he's still a nigger

[YoungOldNigga22]

No I didnt know that, but I did know that David Ruffin is the shit!!!

[ebbluvsher]

im luvin this sooo much !!!!!

[SaskBlade]

I might not listen to this kind of music, but I do like watching these Time Life's infomercials.
