Im Gonna Make You Love Me - Gladys Knight&The Pips Berry Gordy's genius was to establish a music company combining the two distinct elements he knew best: one, family -a family of labels driven by a family of producers and performers - and, two, songs - an in-house publishing company. One could feed the other, meaning Motown's growing stable of talent always had songs to sing: a hot song was often covered endlessly, while a song that may not have the right feel could be matched up with another singer. Motown Sings Motown Treasures offers an extraordinary glimpse into the process, featuring 45 songs that ended up as hits for someone else. Some are the original versions - who knew that wannabe-pop-star Tommy Good cut the original vocal to the Four Tops' "Ask The Lonely" to their same backing track? Some are original song sketches: Imagine getting an insider's look into how Marvin Gaye shaped "Baby I'm For Real" into a No. 1 hit for The Originals - by handing completely different lyrics to Bobby Taylor. Or how the Isley Brothers were first given "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" - also with very different words. Some tracks are simply awesome covers, from Marvin Gaye's sweet take of "My Girl" to blues belter Hattie Littles, an early Motown act, getting nasty with Barrett Strong's "Money." Included with this new collection is a terrific booklet with track-by-track liner notes with exclusive vault details that further tell the song's stories, plus recording dates and an introductory essay by Grammy® nominee Adam White.
