Wishing a soulful happy birthday to Glenn Leonard, whose smooth falsetto helped define a generation of Temptations classics. #ClassicMotown #GlennLeonard #TheTemptations

Martha Reeves went from background vocals to front-and-center force. When she stepped in for a last-minute session, she didn’t just fill in, she took over. With the Vandellas’ infectious energy, she gave Classic Motown “Nowhere to Run” with songs that still get us up on our feet!

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell lit the torch, and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” has carried that flame through reimaginations and rebirths. What is your favorite rendition of the song? #ClassicMotown #Vandelux #AintNoMountainHighEnough
