We know that Motown Records was based in Detroit, Michigan; however, their search for talent went beyond the Motor City. Marvin Gaye was born April 2, 1939 in Washington, DC while Tammi Terrell, born April 29, 1945, was from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
They both had hit songs as solo artists prior to getting together in the
studio to record what would become some of Motown's classic hits.
Next week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice spotlights Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Your Precious Love or You're All I Need To Get By. I'll play the winner on next week's show.
