NEW 4 day music contest - Theme is Motown

These music challenge themes currently run for Four Days - this theme finishes (Sydney time) on black Friday the 13th at 8pm. ( or slightly later because I'm in Perth)

 

The idea of the music challenge is to select a song from YouTube (or another video site) which relates to the chosen theme via the song's title and/or lyrics. Post the URL link to your chosen video under the song title and artist.

NO EMBEDDED VIDEOS OR IMAGES PLEASE - this is to accomodate those using devices with slow internet connections, such as iphones and other portable devices, who have had problems loading the threads, so everybody can enjoy the game.
NOTE!:- Any embedded videos entered will not count in the game, and will be deemed invalid.

The poster of the video which has received the most kudos at the end time wins the challenge. If there is an unresolvable tie, the first video posted will take precedence. The winner chooses the next theme, starts a new thread, hosts it, and declares the eventual new winner with the most kudos, with the winning entry post # and song details. As a winner, you can copy and paste this head info post into the new thread (remember to update the end time). In this way the challenge threads can be self running (no other prizes, sorry...)

As baybiz said on one of the threads..

If a duplicate of a version of a song (even if with a different video URL link) happens to be posted, the earliest post will take precedence, and any kudos awarded to subsequent duplicate posts will be added to the earliest posted video.

All are welcome to take part, even if you don't post a video yourself - just kudo the posted videos you like. If you are technically challenged and don't know how to post a video link (don't worry, you will not be the first), just ask, and someone will guide you along, or see here:

Good Luck & Have Fun

Re: NEW 4 day music contest - Theme is Motown

I have tried to check all my songs Joz to see if they were under the Motown label but you can also take into consideration that some other labels come under the Motown family.  Perhaps I should have said Motown era. I think I stated on a couple of my songs that I wasn't too sure.

If in doubt, don't kudo.  No biggie.

Know what I liked about this particular theme ( besides the author... Heart )?

It made me DIG!!!!
Made me explore a genre of music and find out more.

I found out SO much about "MOTOWN"; the record label, the SUB-labels, the artists!

Bobby Darin? REALLY?

Rick JAMES!

Kudo my post if you didn't KNOW.

 

And the artists that WEREN'T "MoTown", proper?

 

You'll vote your soul, 

THAT is what counts, yeah?

Billie Jean is considered Motown, I was going to put it up, but someone else did.........defnitely Motown.

 

If that's the case, then "Thriller" would be Motown............

Regardless, my Pointer Sisters tune is "MoTown"...

Just sayin'.

Re: NEW 4 day music contest - Theme is Motown

If you had said " Motown era" that would have made Elvis, the Beach Boys, The Ronettes, and the Beatles' songs eligible........none of which was recorded under the Motown label(s).............Your theme is just fine as it is.  Bobby Darin recorded under the Motown label........
