  • “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (Guest Post)*
    “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (guest post)* The Temptations, c. 1964 The Temptations’ 1964 recording of “My Girl” came at a critical confluence for the group, the Motown label, and a culture roiling with the first waves of the British invasion of popular music. The five-man cell of disparate souls, later to be codified by black disc jockeys as the “tall, tan, talented, titillating, tempting Temptations,” had been knocking around Motown’s corridors and studio for three years, cutting six failed singles before finally scoring on the charts that year with Smokey Robinson’s cleverly spunky “The Way You Do the Things You Do” that winter. It rose to number 11 on the pop chart and to the top of the R&B chart, an important marker on the music landscape altered by the Beatles’ conquest of America that year. Having Smokey to guide them was incalculably advantageous. Berry Gordy, the former street hustler who had founded Motown as a conduit for Detroit’s inner-city voices in 1959, invested a lot of trust in the baby-faced Robinson, who as front man of the Miracles delivered the company’s seminal number one R&B hit and million-selling single, “Shop Around.” Four years later, in 1964, he wrote and produced Mary Wells’ “My Guy,” Motown’s second number one pop hit. Gordy conquered the black urban market but craved the broader white pop audience. The Temptations were riders on that train. Formed in 1959 by Otis Williams, a leather-jacketed street singer, their original lineup consisted of Williams, Elbridge “Al” Bryant, bass singer Melvin Franklin and tenors Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams.

  • Life Is Hard's Indie Artist Guide to Music Marketing
    Life is Hard’s Indie Artist Guide to Music Marketing The Importance of Music Marketing The biggest problem independent artists’ face is obscurity. You can have extraordinary songs, but if nobody is listening to them you will never achieve major success. It’s more than just having a great product or a catchy tune, you need to promote your brand. People need to get to know you, and they need to be inspired by you. As an artist, you need to connect with your audience in a personal way. The good news is we are living in amazing times where technology has made this process so much easier than in the past. The barriers to entry have been lowered so that you don’t have to rely on a producer or a major label to reach an audience. Within the past 16 years we have experienced the emergence of the internet, email, social media, DIY distribution channels, affordable home recording software and equipment, and many more tools at our disposal. So be encouraged and embrace the possibilities. The sky is the limit! One last thing on this topic… Don’t be overly protective of sharing your music, taking on an attitude of “they will have to pay to hear my music.” The main goal is to get it out there in the public domain, regardless of whether you have to sell it, or give it away. If your music is good, people will pay for it, regardless. You will make money! Copyrighting your Music Songwriters need to protect their music.

    i San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Regional Oral History Office 75th Anniversary The Bancroft Library Oral History Project University of California, Berkeley SFMOMA 75th Anniversary: ROBERT WHYTE SFMOMA Staff, 1967-1987 Supervisor of Education, 1967- Director of Education, 1980- Interviews conducted by Lisa Rubens in 2006—2007 Copyright © 2008 by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Funding for the Oral History Project provided in part by Koret Foundation. ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert Whyte, dated May 18, 2008. This manuscript is made available for research purposes.
