The Culture Show Special - Martin Freeman in Motown

[Ron Manager]

Anyone else see this? Really good program and has had me listening to Motown on my iPod almost non stop since I watched it.

Just the most perfect pop songs, absolutely breathtaking in their simplicity and brilliance.

If you enjoyed this mate, you should buy Mojo magazine this month. There's a great free CD on the front full of Motown rarities, a 40-odd page piece inside all about the labels history and the magazine contributors Top 100 tracks ever from the label.

Though its blatantly wrong as The Temptations' 'Get ready' doesn't make the grade...

anyone who liked Freeman's show should try and track down the 'Soul Deep' documentary series that was shown on BBC4 a couple of years back (and will probably be repeated soon). 6 one-hour long shows on key figures (James Brown, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, 1 i can't remember, and Mary J Blige for some reason)- brilliant interviews and archive footage.
