DVD Review: Motown:The DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've bought the other DVDs in the series (Supremes/Temptations/Miracles/Four Tops/Marvin Gaye),you know what to expect here....Some great footage of some of the 'lesser' Motown acts-Marvelettes,David Ruffen,Jimmy Ruffen,Edwin Starr,Brenda Holliway,plus a few Supremes,Temptations,Miracles & Four Tops clips not used on their respective DVDs.And a clip of Stevie Wonder--where's HIS DVD?????----Overall very well done,and as with the other Motown DVDs,there's a number of audio options. The only possible negative comment I can say is the qualitly of some of the clips are noy quite top-notch,but at the same time,as a hard-core collector of vintage music,I know for a fact,that the original masters for some of these clips no longer exsist,and the producers had to work with the best available sources....As for the 'bonus' footage...one of the extras is a homemovie of a Motown picnic.Intresting footage it is,but the narrator(former Motown exec,-the footage is silent)-A)Id's the footage as being from "1970",when it's obviously from 1973/74 B)Mis-identifies a few artists C)Refers to BERRY Gordy,Jr.-repeatly-as BARRY Gordy.
