Sending LOTS OF LOVE your way Juan!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE MOTOWN SOUND ...
In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Starting with an $800 loan, Gordy turned MOTOWN RECORDS and Detroit, Michigan into "HITSVILLE U.S.A."
Between 1959 and 1972, this unheralded group of musicians had played on MORE # 1 HITS than the
> BEACH BOYS,
> the ROLLING STONES,
> ELVIS
> and the BEATLES ... COMBINED ~
which makes them the GREATEST HIT MACHINE in the history of popular music.
These great musicians called themselves simply
the FUNK BROTHERS.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN
AND OWE MUCH TO THEIR RICH MUSICAL LEGACY.
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Hi Juan!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...
"The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless,
UNREMEMBERED ACTS OF KINDNESS AND LOVE."
~ William Wordsworth
NO ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, IS EVER WASTED!
