John Mann’s Motown Treasure Chest is back this Sunday from 9pm BST!
Unlock a goldmine of Motown magic as John dives deep into the vaults with classics and ultra-rare vinyl spanning 1959 to 1982.

This week’s treasures include:
Nick & The Jaguars – early Detroit energy!
Rare Earth – Motown’s very first white band signing, turning the label inside-out with their rock-soul power.
Shorty Long – the man who put the fun in Funky!
The Moroccan Music Makers – raw, infectious early-Motown grit.
The Stone City Band – legendary groove architects.
Earl Van Dyke – the heartbeat of the Funk Brothers.
PLUS… an EXCLUSIVE never-released 7-inch by The Valadiers!

And the doors to the Motown College of Knowledge swing open for a special feature:
A rare 1965 interview with Diana Ross, talking about The Supremes’ iconic hit “Stop! In the Name of Love”
