Advent calendar December 9th

Followed the thread on the Searchers Sheila has influenced today's selection,a number of Motown artists throughout the 1960s and 1970’s recorded Christmas songs. Some were very good some less so, but here's a taste of a Motown Christmas.

We are going to start with a teenage Stevie Wonder in 1967

Onto the Supremes the following year:

And finally my favourite Motown band The Temptations, the line up has changed numerous times but I have never seen a bad line up, hope you enjoy this:

All nice seasonal music Brian, hard to choose, but I did love the three degrees in their early 1960’s music.

The Three Degrees were on the Philadelphia International label (O'Jays, Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes etc were on same label). Although they formed in 1963 they didn't have UK chart success till 1974.A good live act too I saw them on tour with the Temptations a good few years back. I honestly don't know if the Three Degrees did any seasonal music but I'll have a mooch about.
