About Motown: The Classic Years
Amazon.com No one can lay claim to the development of urban music like Motown can. From Marvin Gaye to Diana Ross and the Supremes to the Jackson 5, Berry Gordy and crew sifted through the finest singers, hooked them up with the slickest songwriters, and ushered them into the studio--while simultaneously bringing in a new era in music. On Motown: The Classic Years, that foresight and talent is showcased in 40 lovingly selected all-time hits from 1960 to 1972. Whether you're looking for an introduction to R&B or just a flawless mix of great songs, pick up this double disc. Not only will you find classics such as the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "The Tears of a Clown" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, but there are also some interesting juxtapositions, such as "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Gladys Knight and the Pips in succession with the same song sung (even more famously) by Gaye. Best of all are the liner notes: in a few sentences, the story behind each song is given, as well as its date of release and its peak position on the charts. Urban Music 101, indeed. --Heidi Sherman Product description Money (That's what I want) / Barrett Strong -- Shop around / The Miracles -- Please Mr. Postman / The Marvelettes -- Do you love me / The Contours -- You beat me to the punch / Mary Wells -- Fingertips Pt. 2 / Little Stevie Wonder -- (Love is like a) Heat wave / Martha & The Vandellas -- My guy / Mary Wells -- Where did our love go / The Supremes -- Dancing in the street / Martha & The Vandellas -- How sweet it is (To be loved by you) / Marvin Gaye -- My girl / The Temptations -- Shotgun / Jr. Walker & the All Stars -- Stop in the name of love / The Supremes -- I can't help myself (Sugar pie honey bunch) / Four Tops -- Tracks of my tears / The Miracles -- Uptight (Everything's alright) / Stevie Wonder -- Going to a go-go / The Miracles -- Ain't too proud to beg / The Temptations -- What becomes of the brokenhearted / Jimmy Ruffin -- You can't hurry love / The Supremes -- Reach out I'll be there / Four Tops -- Jimmy Mack / Martha & The Vandellas -- Your precious love / Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell -- I heard it through the grapevince / Gladys Knight & The Pips -- I heard it through the grapevine / Marvin Gaye -- My whole world ended (The moment you left me) / David Ruffin -- I can't get next to you / The Temptations -- I want you back / The Jackson 5 -- Someday we'll be together / Diana Ross & The Supremes -- Up the ladder to the roof / The Supremes -- Ball of confusion (That's what the world is today) / The Temptations -- Signed, sealed, delivered I'm yours / Stevie Wonder -- It's a shame / The Spinners -- War / Edwin Starr -- Tears of a clown / Smokey Robinson & the Miracles -- What's going on / Marvin Gaye -- Smiling faces sometimes / The Undisputed Truth -- Papa was a rolling stone / The Temptations -- Neither one of us / Gladys Knight & The Pips.
