Enjoy your channel very much love motown you where one of the first channels I viewed on here I learned alot from you keep the oldies alive take care Al
oh my goodness, I was a child gowing up in the the late 70's and my Daddy listening to these songs everyday he got off work, and I can remember singing with him this is awesome how u can hear a song and it takes u back dig that. AKA AVA
got the shot gun album a lot said about Michael Jackson as he being black and the "struggle" but ye gods it was done way before him. Berry Gordy must have despaired.
Yes Moonlight In Vermont is bad ass track from their Soul Session Lp Satan's Blues is from that LP too, i have that album, its also on CD now with the Shot Gun Lp which has Tune Up and Cleo's Back
'Know anywhere I can find his "Tune Up" which was a real happy, upbeat tune, "Satan's Blues" and his "Moonlight in Vermont," which was a vintage piece done by Walker?
Have you ever seen a 45 on the Soul label with this weird font, it looks like the font of the record came off a tipe-writer, there are a few Motown (Tamla, Gordy, VIP, soul) 45's with this weird font? Do you have any records with it? I had a copy with it of "Where Did Our Love Go".

I love this song, but it has a kinda' strip club feel to it, so does Cleo's Mood, sorta' sexy nasty or vice versa. Maybe Cleo was a stripper... =:p
