Martha The Vandellas (Love Is Like A) Heatwave 02:46 08. Sadly this collection only covers the first half of Gordy and companys run, ending in 1972 when Motown left its home base of Detroit for the sunny shores of California.īut an examination of those years would also be worthy of its own double-disc set.īut for those looking for all of the hits that defined the Motown sound, or for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to the label, this very well could be all the Motown you ever need to purchase. Songs that defined moments decades after their release (Do You Love Me, I Heard It Through the Grapevine) and songs that forever changed the face of popular music (My Girl, Whats Going On, War). Names like Marvin, Stevie, and Diana, as well as groups like the Temptations, the Four Tops, the Contours, and the Supremes.
The insanely catchy, uptempo sound was the audio wallpaper for a generation facing dramatic changes socially, culturally and politically. Nearly every song on this collection has been imprinted on the collective memory of popular culture, and with good reason.
