I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

For many years that was the encore of many a Marillion gig. They do a great version of it imo

The Swinging Tigers - "Snake Walk":

Before they were called "The Funk Brothers," Motown's house band went by this silly name.  This instrumental from 1959 definitely isn't "The Motown Sound," but it also isn't like the doo-wop Motown was recording at the time; instead it's a wild jazz ride.  It shows what Berry Gordy's band was capable of, even at the beginning:

:cool:
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I've liked most Motown I've ever heard, be it sublime pop music, brilliantly written and performed songs by some of the iconic artists of 20th century American music, yet I own not a single or album of it.  :hmm:

Heh, my wife has lived in Metro Detroit all her life and never gone to the Motown Museum.

If you're interested, I recommend, from the Detroit Years:

Smokey Robinson - "Going to a Go Go"
Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On"

From the LA Years:

Stevie Wonder  :cool: - "Innervisions"

The first two are great examples of both the early and the late Motown sound respectively.  I don't much care for the LA years, but Stevie :cool: had a number of masterpieces.

Singles collections from Motown can be hit or miss; a lot of them are poorly produced.  They almost always focus on the really big hits and ignore the lesser known stuff.  (Except for the 12 volume boxed sets; but those are out of print.   :()

Thanks for that Sav, I'll look into those. :cheers:

Yes, I guess poorly produced compilations are an issue, especially with recordings now being to go out of copyright.

I'd suggest: The Supremes "Where Did Our Love Go"

Which of course is all about big hits with 3 of their iconic songs. -_-

So, how many holes does it take to fill the Albert Hall?  :unsure:
