If you ever come to Detroit you have to go to the Motown Museum. It takes you right back in time to be in “the room where it happened”. Best music ever recorded ❤️
I used Spotify for 4 years and just recently dropped the service because of their political adds and support of Maga. I switched to Pandora and checked out their political stance. From what I could find they checked out. Would this be a possible streaming platform for your EXCELLENT playlist?
Re: Spotify, you could give your readers their choice of streaming services for the songs, let them pick how they want to listen. Have you checked out song.link? You wouldn’t be able (I don’t think) to make a playlist, but you could use the link in your newsletter, perhaps. Maybe have a webpage that lists all the songs with the new links?
I use an iOS shortcut (which also works on Mac) to get song.link links like the one below.
Thanks as always, Dan, for giving us a reason to smile. Amazing that three Black women were able to break the color barrier in 1960’s with their tremendous talent. But I also want to comment on the issue of Spotify. As you note, it really is the premier music streaming platform that allows you to share playlists. I enjoy making playlists that I can share with my family. Yes, they play ICE ads, but so do almost every media outlet that has paid commercials. I would need to stay holed-up in my home, not use any media and not shop anywhere, if I didn’t use places that, in one way or another, seemingly accept what this administration is doing, if not out right supporting it. For example, I would love it if I could avoid using Amazon, but it is often the only place where I can find a particular item. Look, Spotify, Amazon, any major corporate operation isn’t just that wealthy owner or CEO, it is made up of many hard working people just trying to make a living. And I can assure you they don’t all support what this is administration is doing. So, I will continue to use services like Spotify that provide a product that is useful to me. Just sayin’. Thank you, Steady Team for providing an awesome playlist of music that makes us smile and keeps us steady.
This now West Coast resident grew up in the Boston area. I remember seeing the Supremes at Blinstrub's. It was pretty up close and personal. They were dazzling! Thanks for reminding me of that happy memory!
We 60s white, suburban, middle class kids listened to and sang along with Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder and so many more. Our parents generation didn't connect the same way, although some had their Harry Belafonte and Nat King Cole. Motown helped both turn down societal walls and build social bridges. The music brought us together, even if the message was sometimes joyous pop and other times pointed social criticism. Thanks for this!
77 year-old here, and I remember listening to Stevie Wonder "Fingertips" on my transistor radio, hanging out with my buddies at the park on summer nights, along with all the artists you mention. I hope you're not including me in "your parents' generation." LOL

Regarding the Spotify issue, I use Amazon Music Unlimited and am very happy with it. Not sure what its policy is regarding ICE ads, though.
Those false eyelashes tho

Don't know if it's true, but some folks are unsubscribing from Spotify because the platform shows videos to recruit ICE officers.
