Ce volume de " Motown Unreleased : 1965 " , édité en Angleterre sur le label Motown Records [ UK ] le 11 Décembre 2015 comporte son lot de perles , tout comme les albums précédents de cette série . Pour les trouver ouvrez bien vos oreilles du coté de Stevie Wonder " Dance Yeah " Dance " et " 'Til 12 O'Clock " , de Oma Heard " Stuck-Up " , de Martha Reeves & The Vandellas " Can't Break The Habit " , de Clarence Carter & Stevie Wonder " Funny [ How Time Slips Away ] " et surtout " About My Baby " , des The Four Tops " I Like Everything  About You " , de Little Lisa " It " et " My Daddy Knows Best " , de Jr. Walker & The All Stars " Baby You Know You Ain't Right " , de Ivy Jo Hunter " Determination " , des Temptations " I Got Heaven Right Here On Earth " et enfin des The Lewis Sisters " Can't Figure It Out " . Bref tout est bon; que dis-je ? Tout est excellent et toujours cette même question : pourquoi Tamla Motown n'a pas réalisé ces perles à l'époque ?

Ce troisième volume de " Motown Unreleased 1966 " est édité sur le label Motown Records [ UK ] le 15 Décembre 2016 . Attention ! petit chef-d'oeuvre ! 96% de Northern Soul , toutes plus belles les unes que les autres . Mon coup de coeur va pour les Temptations ( il faut dire que c'est mon groupe masculin vocal préféré de la Tamla Motown ) et juste après , c'est la version de " Tea House In China Town " des Spinners ( que j'ai déjà posté dans " The First Flight " le 27 Avril . Il y a aussi une très belle surprise en la personne ( Jusque là , qui m'était encore inconnue ) de Little Lisa avec " Keep Away " . Tout l'album est sublime .
