There’ll be music everywhere

PBS showed a Tribute to Motown at the White House last night. I thought I would watch just a minute of it, but I got pulled right in.

I’d kind of forgotten Dancing in the Streets. That was stupid. Martha and the Vandellas. Yeah.

    “Heat Wave” is much better!

    “Heat Wave” also great! But I really do like “Dancing.”

    Both. Both shall win; both shall have prizes.

    I don’t think they’re Motown, but don’t forget the Ronettes! Oh, Ronnie Spector. . . .I will be your little baby.

    Be my, be my baby

    My one and only baby

    Be my baby now-ow-ow.

    Not Motown?! Surely they must be.

    God* is the reason you can’t resist Martha and the Vandellas.

    *where God = Berry Gordy. Who, like that other God, could often be a dick.
