Comment:

It was billed as "The Sound of Young America," but the growing Motown label was being modest: in truth, the imprint's output was the sound of [i]all[/i] America, with sparkly soul hits that appealed to black and white, young and old. Anchored by founder Berry Gordy's vision, and by songwriters Smokey Robinson and Holland/Dozier/Holland, Motown unleashed a steady stream of soul-pop landmarks — from its first hit, Barrett Strong's fierce ode to coin, "Money (That's What I Want)," to Marvin Gaye's indelible signature haunter, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," to Smokey's twin #1 classics, "My Guy" for Mary Wells and "My Girl" for the Temptations.
