      @Trevon Womack : Indeed, I'm white and I absolutely, adore Old School, Black Music. That utterly, awesome Motown Sound will rock, forever!

      @Novy Honza : Sorry, that was not meant to come up twice. Continually, having problems with how things get uploaded over RUclips. Don't know if it's my computer or the website itself. Wasn't trying to be confrontational at all, and there's not really, much of anything to wonder why about, at all. It just, seems so, silly that we would need to make this a black and white thing, at all. Now I happen to hate with a passion, rap so called music, which seems to be largely but not exclusively, black, but that's only, because I happen to think it's an utterly, crappy style of music, period, that sends out so many horrendous, messages. I feel that no matter who is performing it, black or white. Whereas, I absolutely, love the Motown Sound, such as we have here, and as far as I know, this is almost, exclusively, black.
      Basically, what I'm saying is that quality music knows no barriers of any sort, so can be loved by all races, genders, religions, what have you, and people everywhere. That's it. If it seems like I'm making a preference in my replies, it's merely, because I'm a white guy who loves black music, when it's high quality, and I want to make sure they understand this, that's all. And, I love the music of THE WORLD, as well, as I'm into all sorts of channels that feature all sorts of music, from all over the world, over RUclips here. Right now, I'm particularly, interested in Chinese Pop Music, and can't get enough of it, because I'm basically, rap and hip-hoped completely, to death here, by western pop music, and long for something different. You see?!
      Much Love. My Very Best. Out.

    James, have you ever reacted to the great Jackie Wilson? If not you should check out "Lonely Teardrops" & "Higher & Higher". He was a big star when my parents were young, very popular with both black & white people & on all the charts.

The lead singer is Cuba Gooding, Sr. There's one line that brings it all together, "next time around, someone cries for you."

    This music is a bit before my time (born in 1970) but it's what I grew up on. Your reactions are so genuine, so open and honest, and to be truthful, I sometimes forget how young you are. You are wise beyond your years. I only wish that more people who are as passionate and open to listen would come forward. The world would truly be a better place. On a side note, and to end this mush fest... I almost fell out of my chair laughing as I tried to imagine some of the "stars" of today trying to sound... and move, like these guys!

    I really admire you , you are such a gentle soul ...... I listened to theses oldies since I was in elementary school in the 60’s , they are the best and will always be . One of my favorites is Oh Girl , by The Chi lites . ❤️

    I love this song. It’s a great reminder how a wife can get in the way of the woman you love.

    I'm a white boy from Ohio and we grew up on Motown, back when music didn't have a color. There was an AM station out of Detroit we used to listen to, and this is the kind of music that played. Yeah, enjoy the journey. Peace
