I have chosen The End Of The Road from Boys to Men…yes it was a Tamala Motown and it was one of the record labels last great hits!
“End of the Road” is a song by American R&B group Boyz II Men for the Boomerang soundtrack. It was released in 1992 and was written by Babyface, Antonio L.A. Reid and Daryl Simmons. “End of the Road” achieved domestic and international success. In the United States, “End of the Road” spent a then record breaking 13 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, a record broken later in the year by Whitney Houston‘s 14-week number one hit “I Will Always Love You“; Boyz II Men would later match Houston’s record with “I’ll Make Love to You“, which spent 14 weeks at number one in 1994, and then reclaim the record with “One Sweet Day” (a duet with Mariah Carey), which spent 16 weeks at number one from 1995 to 1996.
Motown Records is an American record label owned by the Universal Music Group. It was founded by Berry Gordy Jr. as Tamla Records on June 7, 1958, and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960. Its name, a portmanteau of motor and town, has become a nickname for Detroit, where the label was originally headquartered.

My favorites!! Have you seen the Boston robots dancing to the Contours song, “Do You Love Me”?
Nov 27, 2022 @ 19:43:32

Thank you for the tip it’s brilliant 💜

BTW we learned from the engineers that the robots have names. The dog is Spot, and the kids’ favorite.
Nov 28, 2022 @ 11:53:47
Lovely great name for a dog 🐕
Nov 29, 2022 @ 00:20:41
Yes! And the big robot is Atlas.

Another apt name 😉

My pleasure!

This one? It’s brilliant 🙂

YES!!! The robots were doing this at Logan airport in Boston. I reached out to them to tell them how much the children in my class love the robots, and the company asked if their engineers could Zoom with the kids. We did! How wonderful is that? Of course this is the music I grew up with and still love to this day.
Nov 27, 2022 @ 21:00:13
That’s such a wonderful story so heart warming that the engineers took the time to video your class.
I know what you mean about the music it’s my era too 💜💜
Nov 28, 2022 @ 11:34:14
It really was wonderful! And, our era of music was the best. 😀
Nov 28, 2022 @ 12:25:35
Yes indeed it is 😊

I really like “End of the Road.” Paul Jackson Jr. (session guitarist and solo artist) has an instrumental version that’s really good, and Boys II Men sing on the chorus.

It’s amazing how vast your musical knowledge is. …it’s a good track isn’t it 💜
