Motown: the Sound of Young America: This Course Covers the Golden Age of Motown 1960-73 Motown: The Sound of Young America: This course covers the golden age of Motown 1960-73. It will concentrate on the people who started, nurtured, and established the label as the driving force behind American popular music in that period. The course will do this through several media: lectures, photographs, recorded music, film clips, question and answer sessions, and the use of live music. The instructor will play piano, guitar and sing, and will choose appropriate examples from each genre. Week-by-Week Course Outline and Syllabus Suggested reading and viewing for the course, suggested listening by week, and selected video “special clips” for each week which represent the best available youtube live performances, both audio and video, of selected songs.

He'd dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when he awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit. "He was always dreaming about trees," Placida Linero, his mother, told me twenty-seven years later, recalling the details of that distressing Monday. "The week before, he'd dreamed that he was alone in a tinfoil airplane and flying through the almond trees without bumping into anything," she said to me.

  • 2017 Proceedings
    St. Petersburg, Florida 2017 Proceedings Motown Style and the American Dream Monica Sklar, PhD and Oloni Binns University of Georgia, USA Keywords: music, costume, Motown, 1960s The challenges of the dress styles of the record label Motown were a symbol of the shifting American Dream of the 1960s. This research evaluates two aspects of the dress history of Motown: the garments’ design and their social context. During Motown’s beginnings in the early 1960’s the glamorous image portrayed by its artists was deemed socially progressive by highlighting African American’s inclusion into American upper echelon status. Yet as the decade evolved Motown’s dress became out of step with the prevailing styles of social movements. The American dream was expanding to focus on civil rights, war, and the environment, thus Motown’s wigs, matching velvet suits, and sequined dresses were contrasting the messaging of the new styles of the era. This research documents the design development process including how the clothing was selected, produced, and where existing pieces are archived. The image making transitioned from do-it-yourself creations to a highly manipulated process of wardrobe stylists, finishing schools, and designer labels. Costumes were homemade such as men’s pants split open to make a matching women’s outfit for the Miracles, and evolved to the use of hip pads and wigs to create an ideal female form (Posner, 2005). By the time Motown reached its prime success, musical acts like the Supremes received an open clothing budget and department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue were shut down for their shopping sprees.

  • In Loving Memory of Marvin C. Junior, of the Dells Marvin Aka LD
    In Loving Memory of Marvin C. Junior, of The Dells Marvin aka LD Big Man with the Big Voice and Big Heart Says Farewell but not Good-Bye. In Loving Memory of Marvin C. Junior, of The Dells The Obituary for Marvin Junior, Lead Singer of The Dells The planet is a little quieter, as R&B music lovers everywhere celebrate a life well lived and the seemingly untimely death of a legend, Marvin Junior, the lead singer of The Dells, 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees. Junior, age 77, died on Wednesday, May 29, 2013, with family members by his side at his home in Harvey, Illinois, from complications associated with kidney failure. The Man Behind The Music From blues to jazz, doo-wop to R&B, Marvin Junior possessed a vocal range that put fellow crooners on notice, women on red-hot alert, and earned him the moniker of the greatest lead singer in the world. He possessed a vocal range and ability that seldom appear in a cycle of lifetimes. Amazing achievements all, considering that Junior made his entry to the planet as quietly as he left it. January 31, 1936 - May 29, 2013 He was born on January 31, 1936, in the little out-of-the-way town of Harrell, Arkansas, the only child from the union of Richard Junior and Jessie Allison. Both parents preceded him in death. Junior was the oldest of four siblings: Nathaniel Dabon (deceased), Melvin Dabon (deceased) and, Jack Dabon. He moved to Harvey, Illinois, when he was only six months old.
