takeshi Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 For great polished pop music you listened to Motown but if you really wanted something funky you went to Stax. Berry Gordy made it known he was going after the crossover (white) audience because of this a lot of Motown stuff didn't really have a social consciousness to it (Marvin Gaye had to fight Gordy just to get 'What's Going On?' released). I think the people at Stax knew they couldn't be Motown and because of this probably followed their artistic whims more often, which made the music funkier.

Guest Gary C Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I know, et al. It was accidental, and I don't know how to edit thread titles. But anyway, I'm almost certain that I was made to listen to Motown in the womb, and it's definitely the first music I remember really enjoying. Well, it's the only stuff from my parents collection that I can enjoy at any time, aside from the Beatles and Bowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I love motown but it has a bad influence on me. Makes me want to get all coked up and drive around sipping a cocktail and make that pistol gesture at people I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBLA Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 don't think this motown stuff... but it's probably one of my favorite songs of all time! that dance on the second vid almost looks like skanking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Never knew about this. It's not strictly Motown, but interesting, and has a lot in common with Kelly's 'In the Closet'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Kingdom Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you like Motown you should see this...great documentary about the session musicians that made most of the label's hits. <img src="http://thecia.com.au/reviews/s/images/standing-in-the-shadows-of-motown-poster-0.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> I'll second this- if you're not interested in Motown, you will be after watching this! I recently went to the Motown museum here in Detroit for the second time- such a cool vibe to stand in the studio where all of those songs were recorded.
