French Kiss Radio Vol. 28

Mon, Nov 24, 2025

Combining two (baby) loves tonight: French music and Motown! Join me on the radio waves this evening for a one way ticket from Paris to Hitsville, USA. Deep lore on father of Motown Berry Gordy and his French connections, pillow talk from Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson’s one and only French song, and more.

Enjoy these pics of The Supremes being supremely cute gallivanting around Paris in 1965!
