Ranker: The Greatest Motown Artists of All Time - Page 2

"When it comes to defining the sound of soul and R&B, you can't overlook the best Motown artists of all time. The Motown label, founded by Berry Gordy in 1959, became a musical phenomenon, producing hit after hit and shaping the landscape of American music. Its iconic sound, characterized by catchy melodies, lush instrumentation, and memorable vocal performances, continues to resonate across generations."
"Think of The Temptations, whose harmonies and choreography set the standard for vocal groups. Songs like "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" remain timeless classics. Marvin Gaye brought a deeper level of social consciousness and sensuality to Motown with tracks like "What's Going On" and "Let's Get It On." And then there's Stevie Wonder, whose innovative use of synthesizers and adventurous songwriting gave us unforgettable tunes like "Superstition" and "Isn't She Lovely." Each of these artists brought something unique to the Motown legacy, contributing to its enduring impact."
