Motown #1's

Love, love, love this CD! A great compilation of Midtown hits that sparks your memories of times past. Great listening music for Saturday and Sunday relaxation. You can't help yourself from singing along to every tune; you may even be inclined to dance along too!

great CD........just a really good selection of music

Just received this CD. But jewel case is broken on the top and bottom in shipping. The CD itself is OK, but I will have to replace the jewel case.

If you like Motown you will like this CD!!@

I’d leave more reviews if I didn’t have to go back to check what my password is every time!! Very inconvenient

If you grew up in the 60s and 70s like I did, you know that some of the greatest music came out of Motown. This is a compilation of some of those hits. It is wonderful to hear the music from the original artists and the Funk Brothers, the jazz musicians who backed up the artists.

Item as described by the seller

I got this for my mom because she's into this kind of music. I ended up really liking it myself. I just goes to show you that good music never goes out of style. There's a couple songs that I really didn't care for which is why I gave it 4 stars but overall, it is a good buy.

22 à 26 morceaux de pure anthologie (ça dépend des personnes, évidemment, 22 morceaux cultes pour moi, 26 pour d'autres) pour à peine 5€ !... Franchement, j'aurais bien rajouté une sixième étoile. Bon, un peu long à arriver, voilà, je l'apprécie d'autant plus :)

Music is very good and great to listen to.

Great album, everything you could hope for if looking for a taste of that era in music.

Un disco fenomenal que es un estupendo compendio de la música de la Tamla Motown de tres décadas. Un disco muy interesante para iniciarse en esa música si no se conoce mucho con temas de gran calidad y en su mayoría muy pegadizos.

Review by John Bush [-] Owner of one of the deepest catalogs in music history, Motown/Universal allows very few recordings to escape the clutches of its archive. Once they're available, however, they're repackaged in endless permutations; such it was when Motown was ten years old, and such it was as the company approached its 45th anniversary. Motown 1*s, a collection of 24 number one hits enjoyed by the label, ranges through four decades for its material -- from "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes to "I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men -- and provides the very broadest of hits anthologies. It is an excellent selection, perhaps skimping on Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson, but never spending too much time with any one artist (which allows the disc to survey Junior Walker as well as latter-day artists Thelma Houston, the Commodores, and DeBarge). Motown 1*s is presented in chronological order, with a baker's dozen of tracks from the '60s, and 11 from the '70s or later. Unnecessary for soul fans much less collectors, Motown 1*s works best for its intended audience -- those with no prior experience who wish to understand why the Motown conglomeration of singers, songwriters, musicians, and executives comprised the premier pop music organization of all time. [The bonus track, a cover of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Michael McDonald, is a fine reminder of how far the label's influence has carried.]
