Lingo
When young I loved the Motown sound
And the new lingo with it I found
When I said, "Hey man, "
"I'm a Motown fan"
My cousin said, "A beatnik's in town!"...

Temptations
Is it just my imagination runnin’
away with me or,
is my girl really leavin’ me.
I need her to stay and I’m
not too proud to beg to keep
her from goin’ out that door.

Dance Craze
I went to the doctor for a sharp pain,
I couldn't walk straight without my trusty cane,
while the doctor poked around
I danced to some old Motown...
Hey, I'm standing straight - this jacket's insane!...

Motown 1
Marvin Gaye.
Man, he sings those songs that way,
bringing a tear to your eye,
and laughter too,
it makes you shake your head
and say How Sweet It Is - - -
To Be Loved By You !!!!!!
I’ve had his 17 best hits out for two
weeks, playing, and it doesn’t get old.

Marvin Gaye
Dubbed "The Prince Motown." Late, great soul singer Marvin Gaye
Brought "Sexual Healing." His star shone as bright as a noon sunray.
In song asked "What's going on?": life cut short by estranged father.
Hit-making behemoth, he'd be even bigger had his career gone farther.

Making the Scene As a Dancing Machine
Whether it be soul, motown, or rhythm and blues;
we can dance to anything we choose.
We listen to hip hop, rap, and old school music.
From whatever time frame, the sounds are terrific.
My homies and I show how it's done right.
I can think of no better way to spend a Saturday night.

My American Haikus (For Jack)
wet pavement gleaming
on a black monday night, wet
with black monday rain
ole saint nick a no-
show once again in motown
another ghetto christmas
some people are al-
ways right, some people are al-
ways wrong, which are you?
imagine martin was missed and
tupac never got shot and
brother malcolm lived
inner city bustle
gives way to that inner city
hustle- thats motown
we stand on the roof-
tops yelling out unto the
masses; can you hear us?...
