About This Item

The impact of Motown on pop culture worldwide is immeasurable. The songs emanating from Berry Gordy's Detroit hit factory sounded an undeniable call to freedom, self-expression, and joy. Motown conjured unknown worlds, from romance (and whatever Great Mysteries lay beyond)... to church, and what it might feel like to have a meaningful faith... to social and political issues, and listeners could sense the power, pain, and desire for change beneath these exquisite harmonies. It was, and 50 years on still is, electrifying. In this collection, featuring 8 of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Singers of All Time," we celebrate the quieter side of the label in a soulful Sunday soundtrack. Classics by artists who only ever required a first name -- Marvin, Stevie, Diana, Smokey -- are interwoven with definitive readings of Motown standards by their legendary friends -- Aretha, Otis, and Al. The full range and possibilities of the songbook are heard in exclusive a cappella tracks, from a stunning and brand new update of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" by Sonos, to Gladys Knight & The Pips' breathtaking call-and-response on "Grapevine."
