Motown Junkie:

This DVD brought back so many memories. I bought it for my mother for Christmas. We live in the Detroit area and she used to take me to the Motown Revues back in the 1960's. She was very good friends with Melvin Franklin, one of the members of The Temptations, and his family. We used to go to his parents house and watch The Temptations rehearse in their basement. I will always cherish these memories. So, anyone who is a Motown junkie or a Temptations junkie like I am, do not hesitate to purchase this DVD,... more info

I think my favorite would have been Eddie Kendrick. He was so suave and smooth. Melvin was a great dancer with those pigeon toes and bow-legs. They all had beautiful voices. Now when I hear a Temps song, I can picture the dance routine and those precision moves. I will treasure this DVD forever.

Emporers of Soul:
