- The History of Martha Davis and The Motels.
The Motels is a band that was founded in the early 1970s. After several line-ups, the band was signed to Capitol Records in 1979 and began to dominate the music scene both on radio and TV via MTV with such hits as "Total Control"," "Danger," "Whose Problem?" (1980), "Days Are OK" (1981), "Mission of Mercy," "Only the Lonely," "Take the L," "Forever Mine" (1982), "Art Fails," "Suddenly Last Summer," "Remember the Nights" (1983), "Footsteps," "Little Robbers," "In the Jungle" (1984), "Shame," "Shock" (1985), and "Icy Red" (1986).
Martha Davis had solo success with such hits as "Love and Affection" (duet with Sly Stone) (1986), "We've Never Danced," "Don't Tell Me the Time," "Tell It to the Moon" (1987), "Don't Ask Out Loud," "Just Like You," and "What Money Might Buy" (1988).
During the 1990s, Martha performed as a solo artist as well as with a new line-up of musicians being billed as "Martha Davis and the Motels."
By 2018, Martha, with a new line-up, released a new Motels album, the classic The Last Few Beautiful Days which features the hits "Lucky Stars" and Punchline."

Thank you for this 👍✌
Love Martha. Thx for this!
The Motels are my favorite band of all time. Thank you for the wonderful video, Alan.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do plan to revise it so stay tuned!
Wow! Great history lesson!!! Never really thought about all the struggles they went through. I always remember how much I loved those songs, "Only the Lonely", "Suddenly Last Summer", and "Shame". When you listen to these songs on the radio, or CD, or watch the videos, you don't think about the years of struggle. Very interesting!
When you hear a hit song that you love, you just want that group or artist to keep cranking out those hits like that year after year. And I used to get depressed about how so many groups and artists seemed to struggle with that. Then I realized, it's just better to be grateful that they happened. We love these songs and artists because they are so rare. If they or anyone could crank them out like that, they wouldn't be as special as they are. I am grateful.
Thank you for this! Heap Big Influential band.
Thank you for watching.
~49:23 I kind of like that song. Never heard that one before. Very good.
I had to look it up. "Counting" (1979) by the Motels. I don't remember this song. But if it's new to me now, it's new!!!
