This vintage TV special hosted by Dusty Springfield has been recorded at the Rediffusion TV studios in London on 18 March 1965. It is a compilation of Motown's greatest names , including the Miracles, the Supremes, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder and the Vandellas

This special was mainly Dusty Springfield’s idea, to promote the Motown music and artists to a wider audience in Britain. Dusty was an occasional presenter of the weekly TV pop show Ready Steady Go (which had the tag line… The Weekend Starts Here). She was a big fan of Motown music and suggested the idea for this special to Vicki Wickham, recording artists manager and RSG’s producer at Rediffusion.

This followed the Motown artists first tour of Britain in March 1965, which had suffered poor ticket sales and played to half empty theatres. The timing of the tour proved to be too early. The Motown artists were not well known in Britain (apart from the ‘in’ crowd) due to limited exposure on UK radio at the time. But the bosses at Rediffusion TV had to be persuaded to allow this special to be made. It’s thought that it was Dusty Springfield’s inclusion in the show which sealed it – but still a brave decision for the time. The TV special was very successful and is historically important as it did a lot to popularize Motown with a mass audience in the UK.
