  • “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.

    2 He was a brilliant composer and record producer, one of the best to come out of Motown. He was born on May12th 1940 in Harlem, New York, and passed away on September 16th 2008 in Los Angeles, at the age of 68. He founded Whitfield Records in Los Angeles after his departure from Motown Records. He was known as the father of the “Psychedelic Funk” sound. Longer songs, a heavy bass line, distorted guitars, multi-tracked drums and inventive vocal arrangements became the trademarks of Norman’s production output, mainly with The Temptations. According to Dave Laing (Journalist for the Guardian Newspaper; Thursday 18th September 2008) stated that Norman Whitfield’s first actual job at Motown Records was as a member of staff for which he got paid $15 a week to lend a critical ear to new recordings by Motown staff, a job he said "consisted of being totally honest about what records you were listening to". He graded the tracks for Gordy's monthly staff meeting, where decisions were made on which should be released. Soon dissatisfied with quality control, Whitfield fought to be allowed to create records himself. This involved competing with such established figures as Smokey Robinson, but he got his first 3 opportunities in 1964 with lesser Motown The Temptations’ songs, during the first ten groups, co-writing and producing “Needle years of the label’s operation. Such songs as in a Haystack” by the Velvelettes and “Too “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Many Fish in the Sea” by the Marvelettes. Me)”, “Ball Confusion”, “Papa Was a Rollin’ These records brought him the chance to Stone” and “I Can’t Get Next To You” all work with the Temptations, already one of achieved platinum certification in America for Motown's elite groups.

During this time, songs like "Dancing in the Street" and "What's Going On?" targeted social issues in America and created a voice for African-American people through their messages. Events like the Mississippi Freedom Summer and Bloody Thursday inspired the artists at Motown to create these songs. Influenced by the cultural and social circumstances of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical output of Motown Records between 1959 and 1972 evolved from a sole focus on entertainment in popular culture to a focus on motivating social change through music.

  • Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) You Can't Hurry Fame: Motown's Unsung Heroes
    Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002) You Can't Hurry Fame: Motown's Unsung Heroes Cast & Crew Director : Paul Justman Producer : Paul Justman , Sandford Passman , Alan Slutsky Screenwriter : Walter Dallas , Ntozake Shange Starring : Richard 'Pistol' Allen, Jack Ashford , Bob Babbitt , Benny 'Papa Zita' Benjamin, Eddie 'Bongo' Brown, Bootsy Collins , Johnny Griffith , Ben Harper , Joe Hunter , James Jamerson , Uriel Jones , Montell Jordan , Chaka Khan , Gerald Levert ,Joe Messina , Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Joan Osborne Director: Paul Justman Writers: Ntozake Shange (Narration), Alan Slutsky (book),and 1 more credit » Stars: Joe Hunter , Jack Ashford and Uriel Jones By ELVIS MITCHELL Published: November 15, 2002 ''Forty-one years after they played their first note on a Motown record and three decades since they were all together, the Funk Brothers reunited in Detroit to play their music and tell their story,'' reads a title early in the director Paul Justman's documentary ''Standing in the Shadows of Motown.'' It is a simple premise that this movie more than lives up to, falling back on the serene power of the Funk Brothers, the squadron of elite musicians heard laying down the rhythm -- and the law -- on Motown's greatest hits. This salute to the literally unsung and underrecognized studio heroes of Motown is so good because it is one of those rare documentaries that combine information with smashing entertainment. And it is one of the few nonfiction films that will have you walking out humming the score, if you're not running to the nearest store to buy Motown CD's. The movie, which opens nationwide today, shifts among four components: performers lining up to offer heartfelt but uninvolving tributes to the Funk Brothers; the musicians talking about performances that turned sheet music into legendary recordings; new renditions of Motown classics with the Funk Brothers backing up guest vocalists like Ben Harper; and dramatic re-creations of Funk Brother anecdotes.

  • My Girl”--The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Adam White (Guest Post)*
    “My Girl”--The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Adam White (guest post)* 45 sleeve Original label Smokey Robinson One afternoon in early October 1964, in a cramped dressing room at New York’s Apollo Theater in Harlem, William “Smokey” Robinson is coaching five young men in the harmonies--and opportunities--of a new song, helped by the music heard on his portable tape recorder. He’s still in his bathrobe, and they’re not yet suited and booted for the show, either. All of the group are paying close attention, not least because it was Smokey who bestowed upon them their breakthrough hit, 12 months earlier. The final result came to epitomize the soul and sound of the Temptations, and created a touchstone for the family-owned business which by ’64 was beginning to justify the declaration on the front of its modest headquarters in Detroit: “Hitsville U.S.A.” The song was “My Girl,” and the company was Motown Records. It had been a busy and productive year for the Temptations, inaugurated by that earlier Robinson tune, “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” which weighed into the top 20 of the pop charts in March 1964. It was their first such success--and a relief for all, considering that they had been signed to the record company three years earlier. Now, they had a new member in their midst: David Ruffin, recruited when Elbridge “Al” Bryant was fired at the end of 1963. The freshman joined Paul Williams (baritone), Eddie Kendricks (falsetto), Melvin Franklin (bass) and Otis Williams (tenor).
