Motown Greatest Hits

The 60th anniversary celebrations of Motown Records will continue with the 16 August release of a brand new Greatest Hits collection. Appropriately, it will feature 60 tracks from the company’s culture-shaping history and will be available in 3CD and digital formats. There will also be a 2LP edition with a shorter track listing.

This new retrospective of perhaps the most famous and best-loved record label in all music will include many of the songs and artists that made Motown world-famous. The 3CD and digital versions will open with the company’s first nationwide hit, Barrett Strong’s ‘Money (That’s What I Want)’ and take in other early successes such as the Miracles’ ‘Shop Around’ and the Marvelettes’ ‘Please Mr. Postman.’

Other featured stars include the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, the Jackson 5 and Lionel Richie. Also represented from more recent chapters of Motown history are such artists as Rick James, the Mary Jane Girls, Rockwell and Shanice. The album complements the multitude of other activities surrounding the 60th anniversary of the company founded by Berry Gordy on 12 January 1959.
