The Sound of Young America! The Motown Sound went worldwide in the 60s, and that sound still resonates today. With nearly 200 #1 songs worldwide, Motown remains an influence on today's biggest pop and R&B stars. But Motown stands for more than just the music: it is a reflection of the hard work of dedicated individuals overcoming incredible obstacles to achieve great success. Berry Gordy Jr., a young African American man, founded Motown Records with a loan of $800 from his family. Through determination and support of the Motown family of artists, Gordy forged new ground and made the "Motown Sound" a worldwide phenomenon adored by millions. It's an "only in America" story. And everyone can sing along.
Rick James was one of the greatest songwriters, musicians and producers to ever come out of the music industry. He was a genius. I'm separating the artist from the persona here.
To think this classic, along with so many others, was created/recorded in a tiny studio in the heart of Detroit is still amazing. And Holland-Dozier-Holland is one of the greatest songwriting teams in music history! LONG LIVE MOTOWN!! 💗💗💗💗
Man I just wanna say The Stone City Band that Rick James put together is one of the coldest Funk band of all time..I'm throwing them in with P-Funk..Jimmy Castor Bunch..War.. Graham Central Station...James Brown and Brass Constuction just to name a few...#STONE CITY BAND FUNK ON...If you doubt me check their resume I'm sure they stack up well against anyone
Marvin Gaye was a fabulous singer. All of his songs were great hits. His music hit home on many occasions. He is truly missed, but will never be forgotten.
