A few weeks ago I taped a PBS Special In Performance at the White House, which honored the Motown Sound. I highly recommend it. I had a little trouble watching one of the Jonas Brothers singing Can’t Help Myself, but the rest of it was pretty good. Part of the fun was watching the audience, many of whom couldn’t stop themselves from singing along.
So I went looking for great Motown songs (the White House clips aren’t on youtube, but I think you can still watch the show on the PBS website), and I found this clip of Marvin Gaye doing I Heard it Through the Grapevine in Montreal.
Definitely one of the greatest songs of all time.
