On January 12, 1959, Gordon Berry Jr. founded the Motown record company was born in Detroit, and by promoting a new formula for making music that mixes soul, pop and funk permeated with the spirit of black music. The use of tambourine along with drums, bass, and choreographed dances, vocal arrangements and careful a special structure in the melody and the chords they sound simple, simple yet unique.
Great artists and composers of the stature of the Temptations, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Marvelles, The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye... ... and of course Stevie Wonder, have turned into the Motown legend, with an influence not only in music but also in society. Stevie Wonder became part of the history of Motown in the early 60, when he was only 11 years at the hands of Ronnie White of The Miracles. Gone are his beginnings as "Little Stevie" in 60, and his great creative period of 70 to adapt to more electronic sounds and trade of the 80s, but always with his unique and divine touch that has become one of the best and most influential artists and music composers of our time.
Now and Motown, in this new century and under the control of the multinational Universal, celebrated its 50th anniversary and while many members of this "big family" who have disappeared on the road in recent years, Jheryl Busby, Levi Stubs, Uriel Jones and Norman Whitfield, the Motown is alive and present in the music scene thanks to new artists and others who are part of the history of this record company such as Stevie Wonder. Show your loyalty to this "family" is their contribution in what was their 25th anniversary, as we see in the media player.
