The Motown record label was a force to be reckoned with in the '60s. Featuring artists like the Supremes, the Temptations, and the Four Tops, they regularly topped the charts in the US. Although they were generally focused on cranking out hit singles during this period, there were more than a few long players worth multiple listens.
What are your favorite Motown albums from the '60s?
Note: I'm including anything on a Motown-owned label (Tamla, Gordy, V.I.P., etc.)
And because it is so rare for me to find anyone who shows even the remotest interest in Northern Soul (and isn't 50+ and from Wigan)... I'm going to put in a shameless plug for my Northern Soul chart...
