Diversity!
I'm actually not familiar with 'Get Ready' as named by the title, but I'm positive if I heard it I'd know it..
..nevertheless, it is awesome to hear there are some other Motown-appreciators out there. Early stuff [early Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Jackson 5 even] is unbeatable and so influential. A music junkie roommate/friend of mine knows SO much about classic rock, any band, any artist, anyTHING.. he shed so much light on the entire Motown scene, as well as other early labels that spawned so much music to date.
Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life', as anyone else will tell you, is a major major key record, and has been sampled about seven million times [respectfully and disgustingly] by everyone from hip-hop artists to house to RnB, etc.
Anyway, just wanted to say how kool it is that this music is appreciated by us 'techno ****ers' that supposedly have no depth in music [according to so many clueless people out there]. A kid last week stopped in a store my buddy works at. He was playing the Byrds, and the kid sarcastically said 'good music' to which my buddy said 'yeah, thanks'. The kid told him he was kidding--that he likes some 'oldies', but he mainly listens to 'electronic' music [probably just the Prodigy and Atari Teenage Riot]. My buddy went on to skool him on the origins of electronic music, leaving the punk clueless on a lot of subjects he thought he was educated in.. anyways.. yeah.
