This week Motown celebrates 50 years of greatness. Hitsville U.S.A spawned some of the most significant music ever recorded. Little did Berry Gordy know when he founded Tamla Records in 1959 (which became the Motown Record Corporation in 1960) that he would be instrumental in shaping the entire musical landscape. The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Isley Brothers, The Jackson 5, Gladys Knight and The Pips… it’s a veritable parade of legends. Let’s take a moment and give kudos to some of the all time greats.
The Supremes- Reflections, 1968
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell- Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, 1967
Stevie Wonder- For Once In My Life, 1968
