Pass the Potato Salad, Marvin Gaye
I heard an interview with Stevie Wonder recently in which he said that he wrote the song I Wish (those days would come back once more) after coming home from a Motown Picnic.
Which begs the question:
"Motown Picnic? How do I get myself invited?"
Also:
"Can you do a three-legged race with Diana Ross?"
"Are the Jackson Five in the pie-eating contest?"
And
"Did Barry Gordy win the egg-on-the-spoon relay?"
And because inquiring minds want to know..."Who got drunk?"

Is there a place in Detroit to have a picnic?
...some of the burbs outside the city are nice.
Can you imagine the sing alongs?
...and the FOOD!!!!!!!
Goldennib: I think Hittsville had a front lawn.
Joel: Maybe not "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore" but one hell of a Supreme's medley.
FN: Lordy!
C-Girl: I think Smokey Robinson needs a partner for that!
Ah as the years roll on the mind is still furtile!!
Teena Marie?
Janice Joplin is the only blue-eyed soul singer I could give credit to -- and to me she is a queen. Teena Marie gives me the heeby-geebies. But You are right Doug...apparently she is a Motown girl. maybe she could bring that jello salad with the marshmallows
