Any Motown fans?


Come to Detroit (accent on the last syllable, please, and our second language here, appearing on household goods, etc., is French, the Canadian version, not Spanish, s'il vous plait) - and you can take a tour of Hitsville USA. My family and I did it a couple of years ago and at the end, the tour guide has the men (my husband and son were included in this) standing in the same spot in the recording studio where the Temptations recorded "My Girl" - and singing it... He taught them the Tempts' dance to it as well... Are the women off the hook? No! They lined us girls up and we sang "Stop in the Name of Love" - and you have to dance to that, too, just like the Supremes did. The tour was great (I grew up about 6 miles from Hitsville USA)...

Okay, so we're "flyover country..." WKNR ("Keener 13" - The Keener Legend) was our station, along with CKLW (just across the river in Windsor) in the Sixties... But we had Motown...
