The Motown sound is a unique style of music immortalized by such artists as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye. Few cities can claim their own musical genre, but Detroit (aka Motor Town) is forever entwined with the unique mix of gospel, soul and pop. In anticipation of the 50th anniversary of Motown Records in 2009, several CD anthologies were released that will make great Valentine's Day Gifts.
Motown: The Complete Number 1's
The box set has 10 CDs and won the Outstanding Anthology / Compilation / Reissue award at the 2009 Detroit Music Awards. It includes every hit single released by the Motown Records label, including hits by Mary Wells, Rare Earth and Lionel Richie.
