"I've spent
the last two days apologizing to a lot of my guests,
cause once the band came on, I never left the dance
floor." - Booked the band for a joint 50/18th
birthday party & all my daughters friends have not
stopped talking about what a great night they all had.
The band did a couple of sets and once the first note
was played the dance floor just filled up. I've spent
the last two days apologizing to a lot of my guests,
cause once the band came on, I never left the dance
floor. If your in to live soul music and I mean LIVE
!!!!! this is the band for you. The whole band just love
to entertain and made all our guests feel very special.
Book them now before everybody else finds out about
them, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thanks
again for making our birthday party so special. Kevin &
Nicola

Gordy founded a second label, Motown Records, in
September 1959. The first Motown release was the
Miracles' "Bad Girl". Among early Tamla/Motown artists
were Mable John, Barrett Strong and Mary Wells. Tamla's
first release was Marv Johnson's "Come to Me" in 1959.
Its first hit was Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I
Want)" (1959), which made it to #2 on the Billboard R&B
charts; its first #1 R&B hit was "Shop Around" by the
Miracles in 1960. "Shop Around" peaked at number two on
the Billboard Hot 100, and was Motown's first
million-selling record. On April 4, 1960, Motown Records
and Tamla Records became incorporated as Motown Record
Corporation. A year later, The Marvelettes scored
Tamla's first US #1 pop hit, "Please Mr. Postman." By
the mid-1960s, the label, with the help of songwriters
and producers such as Robinson, A&R chief William
"Mickey" Stevenson, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and
Norman Whitfield, was a major force in the music
industry. |
