RSG! The Sound Of Motown (1965) #5


 
   

More live Motown medley with Smokey Robinson and The Miracles (Shop Around), The Supremes (Where Did Our Love Go). Followed by the finale 'Mickey's Monkey' with Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, and everyone else joining in: The Supremes, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Dusty Springfield. With the Earl Van Dyke Sextet. From the Ready Steady Go (RSG), Sound Of Motown TV special, recorded at the Rediffusion TV studios in London on 18 March 1965.**Historical notes**:This special was mainly Dusty Springfield's idea, to promote the Motown music and artists in Britain. Dusty was an occasional presenter of the weekly Ready Steady Go (which had the tag line... The Weekend Starts Here). She was a big fan of Motown music, and suggested the idea for this special to Vicki Wickham, recording artists manager, and RSG's producer at Rediffusion. Let's hope that this show (and other surviving RSG footage) one day gets a DVD release. It's now been 20 years since anything's been heard of these shows. The "Rediffusion London" TV station ceased to exist after July 1968, when the franchise for commercial TV in the London region changed. Sadly, only a handful of their music shows have survived. Most of the RSG shows are now lost to history.

This is my FAVORITE live version of "Where...DOLG" and even though i think Flo and Mary are way louder than the record, they all are still soooo lovely to look at!

I really do love watching this finale performance with the entire cast. Smokey and the Miricles were really working it out. Bobby Rogers of the Miricles was the best slinging that processed hair of his lol...

oversinging someone doesn't make them a "better" singer. It makes them a "louder" singer.

In my retrospective, Flo's voice could attract the white audience had she been the lead singer of the Supremes because it was said in a book that Jules Podell who then owned the Copacabana told Berry Gordy that the Supremes will not be performing in his club again unless Flo came back from her vacation so Berry and Diana needed her.
