The 100 Greatest Motown Songs (1960-1994) (Part 2)



Motown music beholds some of the greatest songs and artists of the 20th century. With that being said, and with the first Motown video being an enormous channel success, I've decided to revisit the music of Motown by making a second installment. After nearly two years since the first video, I proudly present to you "The 100 Greatest Motown Songs Part 2." Motown is a record company founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit. Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music by achieving a crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as "The Motown Sound", a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.

  1. For every violent crime committed by a white against a black there are 50 violent crimes against whites by blacks....those are ratios that can't be denied.
  2. 1983??? BILLIE JEAN

  10. These songs remind me of my Brothers much love very miss!!!
  11. Please Can someone tell what's the name of the song in minute 5:24? It sounds well
  12. Don't forget the music makers behind the singing stars, the Funk Brothers. They were unique.
  13. I wonder if Berry Gordy & co realised what a truly magnificent musical monster they released on the world when they started Motown? All I can say is GOD BLESS THEM
  14. violence has no race creed or colour .If that individual is violent does not mean all r the same Violent people r found the world over so generalizing is not fair to the rest of the race that r non violent
  15. You screwed it all up with that rap crap at the end.
  16. Motown was what I was all about. yes, my skin is white. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. We didn't hate and kill each other. Trust God bring Him back into our lives says a woman from the early 50's. Jesus loves us all. Our country wants us to fight with each other. We can't let the government win. let us prove them wrong.
  17. I love all. We all cry the same color of tests. Come together and unite. Do not let hate overcome love. The greatest of these is love.
  18. Used to listen to this music on my little transistor radio, under the covers in bed when I was supposed to be sleeping. Pure magic! Thanks for posting.
  19. just check the jails in America
  20. The great acts from the 60's would roll over in their graves if they heard the idiotic rapcrap that's churned out today.
