Wisconsin Basketball Players Sing Motown And Continue To Warm Our Hearts

Sure, the Duke men's basketball team may have won the national title last month over the Wisconsin Badgers. But can they belt out a Motown hit while pulling off some on-point choreography?

A new video features four players from the Badgers' basketball team performing earlier this week at the Buckinghams, an annual school event in which Wisconsin's student-athletes showcase their talents off the court.

And just like it was throughout March Madness, the team's charm was undeniable as Vitto Brown, Jordan Hill, Nigel Hayes and Riley Dearring performed The Spinners' song, "It's A Shame."

Brown's talents, in particular, are outstanding, and they've been on display before. He was part of a four-student group that sang the National Anthem during this year's NCAA Tournament Final Four.

From 1964, my sophomore year in high school.



Love Motown, especially in the early years. The Motown garage on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit had that unique sound.

Hitsville, USA.


Then, there's Detroit's Fox Theater downtown, which in my high school years featured all the Motown stars on Saturday afternoons. What a place!


And Motown rented it on Saturdays. And filled the house with teens.
