After many, many years, this TV special is still one of the very best things I have seen. As a big Motown fan, I might be influenced in the first place. But this TV special is for everyone. It's about Motown of course. And how important the Apollo in New York was in the 60s to launch these unique artists.
One of the most central things, which makes it unique, is the complete presence of everyone involved. I have rarely seen so many pop stars and celebrities show so well that they love to be there and everyone gives their very, very best. It rubs off on us who see and listen to these wonderful voices. It's all so real and incredibly engaging. In addition to the big Motown stars, other big pop stars of the time were also invited, such as Boy George, George Michael and Luther Vandross. I see this has been somewhat criticised. Something I disagree with. Great voices together. And with a repertoire that those of us who love pop music love to hear. Total perfection. Real and timeless.
