Episode 103 Part 1: The Originals

I decided to keep the the Black Lives Matter theme going for my podcast this week, and throughout he 2 years I've been doing this show, I have covered many facets of Black R&B Music in the 60's, from cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia and Memphis, but slightly on purpose, I have avoided talking about or doing an episode on Motown, until now. And the main reason why I have avoided talking about the label on my podcast is because the history of Motown is pretty much already covered in current Rock and Roll Music history podcasts I'm in direct competition in, but at the same time, I have realized it would be difficult to honor the black songwriters and producers of the 60's without making a single mention of them. But, I feel like there are many great songs that came out of this label that hardly anybody in my age group knows about, so today's episode is on a Motown song but one you wouldn't really expect (it's a song you probably don't know but you'll DEFINITELY know who wrote the song and produced it). So next week I'll go pretty in depth with their history but also offering some little known tidbits about them most people probably don't know. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT_1mBc_Gjw You Can also follow me On Instagram right here: https://www.instagram.com/iheartoldies/ Please do also check out the official Spotify and Youtube playlists for this podcast, there you'll be able to find all of the songs I talk about on my podcast (including some of the ones I mention in interview episodes of my show) if checking out these playlists gives you any ideas for what kind of songs I should talk about on my podcast next, you can email me at [email protected] or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/21f3uBS6kU4hUF6QAC5JMj?si=-rGKsTtcRFeb8GAnsl2CKw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS1sYR7xky8&list=PL66sgq_GAmRcXy8yKZJfVmAD14HUYj7Nf Please do check out the official Redbubble Merch Store for this podcast. there you'll be able to find this super cool logo that's attached to a bunch of different merch items. you can check those out and I would appreciate it if you could please purchase something from the store and if you do, please let me know at [email protected] or you can reach out to me on Instagram @iheartoldies and let me know which item you got and what about the show do you like and also, if you can't buy anything for whatever reason, please let me know what you think of the logo itself and the prices of each item in the store at the same email address or on my Instagram :https://www.redbubble.com/people/60ssam95/works/36806158-keep-things-groovy?asc=u&ref=recent-owner If you liked my analysis on this week's song and you've never heard it before and are anxious to hear more about the artist and the song, and the guy that wrote it and produced it, you can email me at [email protected]
