#Motown6Music - what should be on the ultimate Motown playlist?
Tom Robinson invites listeners to help compile the ultimate Motown Records playlist.
Listeners help Tom compile the ultimate Motown Records playlist on what would have been 57 years since Motown Records had their first million selling single. On the 12th February 1961 The Miracles' 'Shop Around' reached the double golden milestone of 1 million sales.
On this Sunday's Now Playing we give 2 hours over to the label that spawned Stevie Wonder, the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight...the list goes on and on and on.
You choose the music, so get your best Motown Records suggestions to Tom via the hashtag #Motown6Music to help create the playlist or email nowplaying@bbc.co.uk.
