BBC3 has had it's good share of music documentaries too.

Just last night (before the LLS), I was watching the documentary all about Pulp's classic 'Common People' (in six parts on de yootoobs).

Despite the slightly shaky sub-plot of trying to track down ''the girl from Greece who studied sculpture at St. Martin's college'', it was a very interesting programme.

True, although in recent years they targeted younger viewers and their documentaries tended to be more in the style of Freaky Eaters. But BBC Three will be missed.

Another one of theirs I would recommend is 'The story of Fairytale of New York'

Tracks of my Tears is an awesome song.

Definitely on my Desert Island Discs list.

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2014 10:38PM

Schmokeh!

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2014 10:39PM

This song sounds very similar to 'Step Out' by Oasis :pac:

Oasis, best Beatles cover band ever.

Yeah, there was legal action.

Step Out was included in some promotional releases of Whats the Story Morning Glory. Probably worth a few quid. Good song.

Got a glimpse of Julie Felix!

Quality tune-age.

No record label comes even close to Motown for classic songs.

Skid X · 15-03-2014 10:50PM

Love this Motown sing off.

There's Gladys ... so many great singers and musicians at Motown. And songwriters. It really was a Hit Factory.

cml387 · 15-03-2014 11:01PM

Always loved Midnight Train To Georgia.

But such a sad song needs a more dialled down performance surely.

Just like Stock, Aitken and Waterman!

Ah, Lionel.

So good, he had a shop named after him!

Ah, lads!

Just tuned in to see Diana Ross. Cripsey hell.

efb · 15-03-2014 11:16PM

Diana, great singer shote penalty taker

Skid X · 15-03-2014 11:17PM

It's rather a watered down selection of Motown performances. Shame they threw out all the old archives.

efb · 15-03-2014 11:18PM

Boyz II Men, a bad Fresh Prince episode...

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2014 11:20PM

Cheese

Ol' Donie · 15-03-2014 11:20PM

Good hats, lads. Really.

Putting the Bad firmly into Baduh.

This really don't do it for me.

The audience couldn't have looked less enthused...probably waiting for KLF or The Wonder Stuff to come on.

Skid X · 15-03-2014 11:25PM

Now there's a song.

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2014 11:25PM

YES! YES! YES!

Skid X · 15-03-2014 11:26PM

I'm a fan of both of the Edwynns - Starr and Collins.

efb · 15-03-2014 11:26PM

What is it good for?

Reelection and economic recovery apparently...

Ol' Donie · 15-03-2014 11:27PM

I presume 'stimulating the US economy' is not an appropriate answer to this question?
