| Motown necklace and earring set |
We promised Leah a Motown post this week. Isn't it obvious how much she loves that Motor City Sound? Who doesn't? Berry Gordy helped bring "black music" to the mainstream, but more importantly, he brought black artists to the mainstream, into everyone's living room (and onto their turntables, of course) at the height of the Civil Rights struggle. The social and cultural impact of that can't be measured.
The enormous talent that Motown unleashed can't be measured, either. These acts dominated Pop and R&B for decades, and their influence still lives on today. We can't even list them all, and forgive us if we leave someone you love out, but sit back, crank up your speakers/headphones, and play these on full screen. We're starting with two from everyone's favorite girl group, the embodiment of all that is FAB, the Supremes!
