The Detroit Free Press has a really good spread on the artists and musicians of that era. I love that music!

The special includes videos, interviews and great pictures. Check it out!

I have to admit the music is a liiiiitle bit before my time, but after seeing "Dreamgirls" a few years ago, I have a whoole new appreciation for that whole genre and especially the Supremes.

I recommend the documentary "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", all about the Funk Brothers, the backup band for most of the big stars of this label.
