Just some Motown trivia, from 1961 to 1971 Motown Records had 110 top ten hits. Pretty successful, right?

Berry Gordy was a genius. He required his artists to be schooled in grooming, dressing, & choreography. He wanted them to represent the Black Community as royalty to achieve crossover into white popular music. The only artists who were exempt were Jr. Walker and Marvin Gaye.

I would love to add Aretha Franklin - Respect, but she was NOT on #motown . However, Berry Gordon considered her family.

So I woke up late. But...here's a few I'll drop.

Switch was signed to Motown in 1976-77. The group included Bobby & Tommy DeBarge. This is their hit song I Call Your Name. This song was later sampled by hip-hop artists Rich Boy.

I missed the party 😣, but here's one that sneaked past a few people.
This tune, now a Halloween dance classic, has a bunch of Motown DNA, with background vocals by Michael and Jermaine Jackson. The artist also has Motown DNA: Kennedy "Rockwell' Gordy.
