The precise moment at which I fell in love with Motown.
My favourite scene from one of my favourite episodes of one of my favourite series, Moonlighting; Knowing Her, episode 6 of series 2.

Woo-hoo!
I made it a full week into 2010 before receiving my first “The DoctorWould Like To See You” letter of the year!

Mitchell, right, helped make Al Green, left, a star of soul music on the Hi Records label
Willie Mitchell, who has died aged 81, was an icon of Memphis music. As producer, arranger and sometimes co-writer, he moulded the careers of the soul singers OV Wright, Otis Clay, Ann Peebles and, especially, Al Green. Out of his shabby studio at 1320 South Lauderdale came Wright’s A Nickel and a Nail, Peebles’s I Can’t Stand the Rain and I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down, Syl Johnson’s Take Me to the River, and Green’s Let’s Stay Together – recordings now regarded as imperishable classics of soul music.
