Description
2009 is the 50th anniversary of the formation of the world's most recognisable record label - Motown - and all through the year reissue CDs, major print articles and TV specials have celebrated the music of Berry Gordy.
This compilation is the first ever attempt to gather together examples of Gordy's song writing and production skills in the late 1950s prior to the formation of his legendary label.
This unique collection brings together many of the records that helped in the formation of Motown like Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite" written by Gordy and often cited as his first recorded composition along with Kenny Martin's version of "My Love Is Coming Down", which is making its CD debut.
To top it off this set also features the earliest recordings of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles as well as those of Motown stalwarts, Marv Johnson, Eddie Holland and members of The Originals who sang with The Five Stars.
