Motown 50
Filling three CD's with absolute gems is a near impossible task in the current music industry. And often compilations are the best way to go. And who doesn't like Motown?
Featuring a number of classics from legends such as Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Jackson 5, and The Temptations, there will be no need to look elsewhere for your blasts from the past.
Proving to be one of the most supreme compilations of all time, 'Motown 50: Yesterday, Today, Forever' does exactly what it says on the tin and proves just how popular the music is today as it was when it was released all those years ago.
Taking its name from the 1983 TV special 'Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever' where Michael Jackson and his brothers reunited for the first time in 8 years, the show commemorated to celebrate Motowns 25th year of existence.
In a similar fashion, the stars may not have rejoined in person, but their music goes as well together as bread and butter.
Notable classics include The Supreme's Baby Love, Stevie Wonder's Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and Commodores' Easy; all very different, but all wonderfully Motown.
If ever a party was short of a theme, this album will bring it to life, and is a cheer-me-up compilation that will certainly live on, coming as no surprise if a Motown 75 were to be released in another 25 years.
Rating - 5/5
