By: Cleo Brown On Friday Evening, November 20th, 2009 I attended a performance of Dreamgirls at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York with my publisher and the founder of HipHopRepublican.com, named Richard Ivory. Richard, who had said that there would be only a handful of people in the audience, made all of the arrangements for the event from securing the tickets to the play to arranging the transportation....
To misquote Diana Ross and The Supremes, some things you do get used to. One of them being that it was very unlikely that I would ever see a couple of my favorite Motown female singers, both in their early 60s, play a London venue. But one should never stop believing! Last night Owen and I went to the Jazz Cafe for the first of two 50th celebrations of Motown Records we have this week - and both feature...

'I Second That Emotion' is a 1967 hit single released originally by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles for the Motown label. The song was the group's first Top 5 hit on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart. Less than two years later, the single was covered by Motown labelmates Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations, reaching the top 20 in the UK. The single was released by the UK group Japan...
On Friday, I made a presentation at Grupo Internacional de Dallas about "rock and pop music" in the US. Unfortunately, my time was limited and did not have enough time to talk about The Supremes. The trio was Diana Ross , Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard . They were three beautiful and very talented young women from Detroit. They became the most successful girl group in rock and pop history....

"'I Gotta Feeling' also holds at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the 12th straight week. This matches the 12 weeks that the Peas held the top spot with 'Boom Boom Pow' immediately prior to this hit. Since 1955, only two other acts, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, have had two or more singles that logged 12 weeks at No. 1. Now, here's the amazing part: With just two No. 1 hits, the Peas have spent more...

So google analytics tells me that over the course of a month I'm getting more than enough of you lovely readers to run a succesful poll, well providing I can put it somewhere visible enough. Well yesterday I announced that in the run up to Christmas that I'll be inducting five artists into my own Musical Hall of Fame. I already have four slots slated in, and they will be revealed over the course of...
Why is it that the older I get the more I sweat Diana Ross? I always thought she was so gorgeous and glamorous but now that I know what a *diva* is I’m in awe of the career she’s had. Undercover Black Man hipped me to this 1968 clip of a twenty-four year old Diana rocking out with some African Interpretive Dance on national television while she was still part of The Supremes. Just for some...
Well, THAT was a lot of fun! I was playing for a local charity event, and it was in a medieval manor house. It was *beautiful*! Because I was playing for longer than I thought, I added the harp and some acapella numbers into the set list: Wedding Song (Jack Hardy) Dorian Midnight Canon Pertwee Shines Long Winter Coat (Suntrap) Rising of the Sea (Talis Kimberley) Camel (Talis Kimberley) Dead Men Walking...
Alright, here's an idea. Let's put together four white guys. Take them from Australia. And have them sing Motown songs. You know, Motown, that motor city soul that has its own musical genre named after it. Let's name them Human Nature . I know what you're thinking - who would ever take their chances with that set up? Try Smokey Robinson . Yeah, THAT Smokey Robinson, practically the number two man after...
