There’s No Sound Like Motown Music

There is no sound like Motown. The Motor City (Detroit) was the place to be in the early 60s for an artist to be discovered. If Berry Gordy had not quit his boxing career and stated the Motown Label, who knows what we would be been listening to now? Here (in our humble opinion) are the greatest Motown songs of all time... 1. Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin […]
