Best of Motown

What a shame When that you missed Earl. I would say he is about 45 to 50 must work out daily as he looks super fit. He could easily have been a dancer. He has written songs for Etta James and Tom Jones. Why he isn't more well known in the UK I don't know.

Isn't it great we are still loving this music 50/60 years later.

When my eldest grandson 3+ was at a music and movement class recently the teacher asked for the children to suggest a song to dance to he piped up Farrell Williams 'Happy' - that's my boy !

Yes, it's good to hear children singing the 'Happy' song after Gangnam Style and Blurred Lines. Last year my grandsons, then 4, were belting out 'ohhhh ohhhh your steps are on fiyerrrrr!' by Kings of Leon. All learned in the playground.

Watched this last night as I was too tired to cope with the Maggie Gyllenhaal thing!

The winner was not really a surprise was it - brilliant song by a fabulous singer.

I was hugely disappointed though that we only got snippets if all those fabulous songs

I was never a fan of the adult Michael Jackson, but watching him as a boy, you could see how brilliantly talented he was.
