The Jackson 5 1964-1989 (25)
Oh baby, give me one
more chance, I want you back.
Michael was 8 when the Jackson 5 signed to Motown. Joe pushed his sons relentlessly, and they delivered four consecutive number one singles. Same blood, same pressure, same stage. It made them the biggest family act in pop history, and the music they made together remains untouchable. More on The Jackson 5 →

Before I let you go, I want to tell you how I feel
You're the only one I love, I want you to know that it's for real

Before I Let Go 0:30 draws a line in the sand. He has made up his mind to walk but first she needs to hear what she is losing. Not out of spite. Out of needing to be truthful before the door closes.

But there comes a moment when holding on costs more than letting go. He is not bitter. He is final. Before he walks out, she needs to hear the weight of what she let slip.

If I Ain't Got You
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Album art
Alicia Keys

Fame and fortune mean nothing when love is missing. Diamond rings. A fountain promising eternal youth. She tried that life. Found it hollow. Everything means nothing if he is not standing next to her. Some people never learn what actually matters.

Kiss And Say Goodbye
I've got to kiss and say goodbye
I've got to kiss and say goodbye
He knows it is over. She belongs to someone else now. One last kiss and then the door closes forever. The hardest thing is knowing exactly what you are losing and walking away anyway because staying would hurt her more than leaving her alone.

The TAMI Show 1964
The TAMI Show

The TAMI Show is the greatest concert film most people have never seen. Filmed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1964, it captured a single night where James Brown, The Rolling Stones, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and Smokey Robinson all shared the same stage. Brown's 'Please, Please, Please' -- the cape routine, the collapses, the resurrections -- is the most electrifying six minutes of live performance ever committed to film.

The Stones had to follow this. They called it their worst mistake.

Grannie's Groove
The one your grandmother put on when she was feeling herself. Before soul got heavy and serious, these tracks were pure joy — warm, unhurried, and made for moving slow.

Why We're Here
Most of us grew up with free radio. Then corporations took over the playlist. Then we found Spotify and YouTube -- until the algorithm quietly decided what we liked, and suddenly we were stuck on repeat again. There's so much music out there, and only so much time to hear it.
At HotSupper, we just want to open things up a little. Maybe you'll stumble on an artist you've never heard of. Maybe you'll rediscover a song you'd completely forgotten. Maybe you'll just tap your toes. Either way, it's yours to explore. And if you have ideas to make this place better, we're all ears.
