Share your ultimate Motown memory in the comment section.

As a music historian, journalist, author, and radio show host, Britains Leading Motown Historian, Sharon Davis has chronicled the evolution of soul, Motown, and R&B with unmatched depth and clarity. Her writings have not only educated generations of readers but have also shaped the way these genres are understood and appreciated within the UK and beyond.

One of Sharon’s most iconic contributions was her pivotal role in selecting “Tears of a Clown” from Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ album for single release in the UK. Her instinct and advocacy led to the track’s ascent to number one on the UK Singles Chart in 1970—a moment that not only revived the group’s international acclaim but also underscored Sharon’s exceptional ear for timeless music. This decision remains a testament to her influence behind the scenes, where her curatorial choices have had lasting cultural resonance.
