Album: Motown 50

2009 sees the celebration of the 50th year of Motown; a music scene which changed the face of music ever since, influencing bands left right and centre. This CD created for the momentous occasion is jam packed full of all the classic songs you know and love. This CD really awakens the senses and makes it so clear why Motown was revolutionary and why it is still popular now. It kicks off with the energetic ‘Dancing in the Street’ by Martha Reeves. This sets the standard for the rest of the compilation with songs from the Jackson 5 and of course Stevie Wonder. It would be easy to listen to the smooth, soulful voices of Motown all day long. This is definitely a must have for anyone’s CD rack, anyone who appreciates great, legendary music anyway.
