Why on Earth would I have a Motown tag on this non-Motown record?? Because it has the beginnings of Motown written all over the label. Publishing company is Ro-Gor Music - ROquel "Billy" Davis and Berry GOrdy. Song is authored by Berry, Billly, and Berry's sister Gwen Gordy. Made #33 Pop and #2 R&B. Although a beautiful and great song, it could be argued it was little uncharacteristic for Berry Gordy at that time. Either way, it was one more successful endeavor that paved the way for a successful Motown Corp. *** I was a record collector in the 50s and 60s, mostly R&B, doowop, and Motown. My first two purchased records were 78s in '56...Peggy Sue and Blue Suede Shoes (still got em).
I listened mostly to KDIA in San Francisco/Oakland back in the day. If I liked a new song, I bought it. Hence you may discover some great songs as we go on this journey. Remember, just because it wasn't a hit doesn't mean it wasn't a great song.
love the flutes in background
