Music reviews of Hitsville USA, Vol. 1: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971

Music Review: So Good it Needs No Review
Rating: 5 Stars

This collection is so awesome, that the only bad thing I can think to say about it is; it ends with 1971 so there are no later Temptation hits (Pappa was a Rolling Stone, etc.)

For those of us who were around at the time, this collection immediately takes you back to then and there. Some of these songs, I had never heard with the clarity in which they were originally recorded.

Nice "found items" too, like remembering that Rare Earth was one of the first, and only, predominantly white bands that recorded under the Motown label.

A must-buy for all of us geezers who grew up listening to the music that came out of Berry Gordy's garage/basement.

Description of Hitsville USA, Vol. 1: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971

Motown did so many things well in the '60s and early '70s that this overview of the label's smashes (and some lesser-known classics) practically demands four CDs. It gets them, too, filling them with single mixes of more than 100 tracks. That the running order begins with Barrett Strong's statement of purpose "Money (That's What I Want)" and ends with Marvin Gaye's statement of concern "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" says a lot about how far the company moved in its golden decade--but no more so than what the same two cuts' differences in sound get across. The company was able to blend the smooth and the harsh in ways that few other pop entities have ever mastered, thereby getting over not only to the feet and the wallet, but to the heart. --Rickey Wright
