I am a very young (for my age) ex DJ and Motown music lover. I have lived in my home city of Brighton, UK, all my life, and would not like to live anywhere else. I ride a cycle regularly, and have a great interest in computers as well as music. PS I would like to add that I don't intend to steal anyones copyright when adding my Motown singles, I would hope on the contrary that these copyright owners would get increased requests for their sounds due to my playing them, I would be glad to refer anyone to these copyright owners to buy any sounds that refer to them. Thank you.

I thought you might like to hear this great classic from The Isley Brothers in June 1966, on Tamla 54135, before anyone comments, it was on the other side of "I Guess I'll Always Love You" and was also recorded by Diana Ross and The Supremes! I like both versions, do you? Feel free to comment? John
