Fifty years on, you have many Classic Motown albums to choose from – but we’ve made it simple, paring those down to 20 candidates. The first round of voting is open until May 27th and from there, we’ll narrow down the selection to your Top 5 picks. After that, we’ll re-open the voting to spotlight the Top 5 timeless albums and, inevitably, will crown one champion. Just how albums used to be released, when Little Stevie ruled. EVERYBODY NEEDS LOVE The first Motown album by the group smolders with Gladys’ soul, then ignites with I Heard It Through The Grapevine, as producer Norman Whitfield sharpens his agenda. GOING TO A GO-GO A trilogy of heartbreak – Ooo Baby Baby, The Tracks Of My Tears, My Girl Has Gone – sets the tone for the Miracles’ finest work together.

The album features Jackson's four solo LPs from Motown (dating from 1971 to 1975), plus songs that were released after he left the company

Like all good compilations, Classic Motown was a good way for me to be able to enjoy the classics, hear the lesser-known stuff, and become equated with some music which was completely new to m. Believe that one style of music which touches most people is motown and soul, and this new entry in Universal Music’s highly successful Classic compilation series features some of the biggest hits from the greatest names of the genre. There is the occasional filler, and with 59 tracks, there was almost always going to be a little bit of that, but really, there isn't a track which stands out as being wrongly included on here

One of the most dominating forces in the history of popular music, the Motown imprint was more than a label, it was a juggernaut of soul music, a machine so finely honed and working with such efficiency that it wasn’t uncommon for several chart topping hits to be recorded in one session. This anthology was previously issued in 2000 under the moniker Motown: The Classic Years. But a title more befitting of such a quality compilation would be Motown 101, for it contains practically every monumental chart topping hit that the label became known for across the globe.
