Brammie Steve Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Motown is still great.I recently bought the first six volumes of Chartbusters (EBay of course)It never ages, neither does soul music.Best Motown song?"What becomes of the broken-hearted ?" Jimmy Ruffin. Or any of 100 others. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/19160-motown/#findComment-822726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 put me on the spot with that question, and it'll probably change daily. I like "It's a shame" by the Detroit Spinners a lot. One of my favourite intro's to a song that Mos, great choice. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/19160-motown/#findComment-822977 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 What you mean as in Alvaston? I was from Chaddesden till a few months ago. My Dads lived in Alvaston for years.He's originally a Ossie park road lad though and him and his brothers were and still are really into the Northern scene. We used to meet at their house and practice the dancing and listen to records. John was always the better dancer.
