"Motown: The Sound of Young America is the definitive, visual history of the Detroit-based independent record company which became a style unto itself, a prolific and hugely successful production line of suave, sassy and sophisticated music through the sixties, seventies and eighties. Featuring extensive, specially commissioned photography of treasures gathered from the archives, this landmark publication also captures the graphic and design iconography that underpinned Motown's extraordinary creativity. Packed with fresh insights gleaned from scores of interviews with key players, this exceptional and revealing book delves into the workings of the Motown machine and details how a dedicated team of backroom believers, white and black, turned a small family business into a popular music powerhouse. This was the home of Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, the Temptations and many more. Motown: The Sound of Young America is a spectacular labour of love befitting an incredible story"--Dust jacket. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I grew up with Motown, which will always be my first musical love, but never really knew much about how the 'sound of young America', promoted in the UK by The Beatles and Dusty Springfield, came about. Now I'm filled with admiration for Berry Gordy, his 2ic Barney Ales, and of course the 'stable' of incredible artists, including The Temptations, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. What a time for music!
The colour photos of album covers, singles and the artists themselves in this book are eye-popping - and kept prompting me to search for records on eBay! - but the history is also well written, with quotes from various members of the Motown 'family'. Worth the money and the wrist strain! ( )
