This week: the first show of the year takes Motown's 50th anniversary as a starting point for a headlong hurl through the influx and influence of the past fifty years of African-American pop music, going from Martha Reeves & The Vandellas to Gnarls Barkley with stops along the way for Curtis Mayfield, Spinners, Wu-Tang Clan, Lauryn Hill and token white guy David Bowie. It'll be a cracka.
