A MOTOWN MONDAY 1969 FLASHBACK! EDWIN STARR

“TWENTY FIVE MILES” is a song written by Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Edwin Starr, for Starr’s second album, ‘25 Miles‘, released in 1969. It was Starr’s first success following his move from Ric-Tic Records to Motown (as Motown bought out Ric-Tic and all its artists in 1968). The song, off the album, was a huge hit in the US, making the Top Ten on both the Pop Charts (#6) and R&B Charts (#6). It was also a hit in the UK, reaching the Top 40 and peaking at #36. “Twenty-Five Miles” proved to be Starr’s second biggest US hit — after his signature song (and #1 smash) “War“ he recorded for the Gordy label in 1970.

A MOTOWN SNAPSHOT FLASHBACK: THE 4 TOPS, 1968!

‘YESTERDAY’S DREAMS’ is the seventh overall and sixth studio album recorded by the Four Tops, issued by Motown Records in August 1968. The album was recorded as the main Motown songwriting/producing partnership of Holland–Dozier–Holland were leaving the label, and as a result only contains one song from them, “I’m in a Different World”, which was released as a single. There are several other original Motown songs on the album, including the title track, “Remember When”, “We’ve Got a Strong Love (On Our Side)”, “Can’t Seem to Get You out of My Mind” and a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “A Place In The Sun“. The rest are cover songs produced by Ivy Jo Hunter and Frank Wilson. Hunter and Frank Wilson altered “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Sunny,” and even “Daydream Believer” to sound more natural next to a real Motown song like “Remember When.” If it never hit the chart heights of 1967’s Reach Out, Yesterday’s Dreams still proved more of a solid listen. (Source: WiKipedia and AllMusic)
