Comment:

For more than five decades — [i]half a century[/i] — your favorite artists have played the grooves clean off Motown’s biggest hits . . . and on their own. Dolled up in a chiffon-thin disguise, [i]Dreamgirls[/i] — the docudrama of a [i]very[/i] Supremes-like trio — didn’t just impact our music, it immortalized Motown’s star-making magic in our mythology. On its title track, Anika Noni Rose, Beyoncé, and ex-[i]American Idol[/i] contestant Jennifer Hudson crank up a gazillion watts of dazzle-toothed star power, one high heel in a Motor City supper club, the other on a Broadway stage. Incidentally, Hollywood also rifled through Motown’s family album for 1991’s [i]The Five Heartbeats[/i], which — minus the chart-topping soundtrack — [i]dreamboyed[/i] the Temptations. With its down ’n’ dirty horns blowing a mournful moan under the instant-catchphrase chorus of “no, no, no,” “Rehab” locomoted blue-eyed soulstress Amy Winehouse into a Top 10-charting, five-time GRAMMY® winner. And right from the first tambourine rattle of Spoon’s “You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb” it’s obvious they were vaccinated with a phonograph needle dipped in Hitsville serum. From Las Vegas to London, from Elvis Costello to Duffy, we’ve got all the best from Motown’s most distinguished devotees.
