Description
A tremendous snapshot of Motown in its early-sixties prime, this CD collects twelve essential singles from the label’s first wave of stars. Little Stevie Wonder appears twice — including the barnstorming live recording ‘Fingertips-Pt. II’, the track that made a twelve-year-old a genuine pop phenomenon — while Martha & The Vandellas deliver the irresistible ‘Heat Wave’, one of the most propulsive records Berry Gordy’s studio ever produced. The Miracles, The Supremes, Mary Wells, The Temptations, and Eddie Holland round out a lineup that reads like a who’s-who of the Detroit sound, capturing the raw energy and joy of a label that was in the process of rewriting popular music…
