Happy 50th, Motown! Thanks For The Memories.

Can you believe it? Motown is 50 years old today. So much wonderful music, I hardly know where to begin....but this proud daughter of Detroit will try. You know all the words, don't you?

The Supremes, 'Stop In The Name of Love'

Marvin Gaye, 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' (Acapella - what a VOICE!)


The Temptations, 'My Girl'


The Four Tops, 'Bernadette'

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, 'Dancing In The Streets'


The Jackson 5, 'Got To Be There' (Michael was still a cute Black kid!)


Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, 'Tracks of My Tears'


The Spinners, 'I'll Be Around'


Stevie Wonder, 'Superstition'

I know, it's barely a taste. I could be here all day and then some. Check out the vast catalog of Motown hits; they are the soundtrack of a generation. Thank you, Mr. Gordy!

Think You're Having A Bad Day? Meet Nick.

Times are hard. We hear it on the news and read it in the papers. People worry about keeping their jobs, making a living, paying for college. These are legitimate concerns, but maybe if we step back, take a breath and consider what someone else is dealing with, we won't feel so stressed. Allow me to introduce you to Nick:

I complained that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. ~ Indian Proverb

The Four Tops, 'I'll Be There'

If you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumbling down
Reach out
Reach out
I'll be there
With a love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With a love that will see you through.

If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it.
Life is tough. Pray hard.
