**Historical notes**:
This special was mainly Dusty Springfield's
idea, to promote the Motown music and artists
in Britain. Dusty was an occasional presenter
of the weekly Ready Steady Go (which had the
tag line... The Weekend Starts Here). She was
a big fan of Motown music, and suggested the
idea for this special to Vicki Wickham,
recording artists manager, and RSG's producer
at Rediffusion.
Let's hope that this show (and other
surviving RSG footage) one day gets a DVD
release. It's now been 20 years since
anything's been heard of these shows. The
"Rediffusion London" TV station ceased to
exist after July 1968, when the franchise for
commercial TV in the London region changed.
Sadly, only a handful of their music shows
have survived. Most of the RSG shows are now
lost to history.
