Motown was to me mostly singles. They were not album oriented at this time.
How could I have forgotten
ReplyDeleteSunshine Superman or Mellow Yellow by Donovan
And Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys
ReplyDeleteAt sixteen it was mostly folk albums, Peter, Paul and Mary, Pete Seeger, Chad Mitchell Trio, Limelighters, and so on. Add the early Beatles, early Beach Boys to the mix.
ReplyDeleteI was late to come to jazz-more like late 20s. Every album on Steve's list might have been on mine. Four Tops and the Motown was more in my early teens. I never had money to buy albums then so didn't know in their entirety until later.
ReplyDeleteSome of them - Let It Bleed, for one - were actually several years later.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the same ones were on my list, though as Steve said, in those days Motown was singles for me.
