Motown Classics 2: 1972-1998
Comment:
Ex-Temptation Eddie Kendricks didn't exactly invent disco, but his bass-blastin', dance-floor-fillin' "Boogie Down" set the stage for the white-suited polyester revolution that soon took its place under the mirrored ball's twinkling lights. At a time when most kids are still popping wheelies and shooting hoops, Michael Jackson was already marching toward (pop) world domination and singing [i]way[/i] beyond his age, in terms of both poise [i]and[/i] material, with "I Wanna Be Where You Are." And by the '80s, Motown was angling for a band to replace the departed Jackson 5, and another quintet of siblings, DeBarge, [i]almost[/i] inherited their crown. Lead singer El DeBarge floats a whipped-cream-smooth vocal on top of an air-kiss promise of everlasting love in the group's 1983 crossover hit, "Time Will Reveal." But the story doesn't end there; half a century removed from its humble beginnings, Motown's still making memories, still making history…and still making hits.
