Back in 1960, when songwriter turned label head Berry Gordy Jr. founded his second imprint after Tamla Records and named it Motown, little did he know he’d not only create a lasting nickname for the city of Detroit, but the most important record label in the history of soul music. Over the course of 35 years, Motown has released countless hit singles and albums by all-time greats such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptations, you name it. This is part two of Kirk Degiorgio’s massive three-piece Motown special.
