Motown Legacy

on BBC Radio 1 England

The remarkable story of the lost Motown tapes is told in the first of this two-part documentary. In August 1992, Motown Records discovered 1,400 unmarked boxes in their tape archive, containing recordings from Motown's golden era which had never seen the light of day. With the help of archivist Gordon Frewin , the programme tells the story of the discovery and airs many of the tracks for the first time, including a number of Marvin Gaye songs never before heard in public. A Unique production
