Motown
(2003)
more music like this
by
Michael McDonald
Michael McDonald never disguises what his seventh solo album is: the title Motown makes it clear that this 2003 effort is a tribute to the glory days of Berry Gordy's Detroit empire. McDonald never strays too far from that thesis, occasionally dipping into the late '70s for material (he takes on Marvin Gaye's "I Want You") and sometimes choosing ...

by
The Supremes
With the plethora of options currently in print, the question of whether listeners need another anthology paying homage to the Supremes is entirely a valid one. With Motown's proclivity to recycle and repackage the same material, it comes as no surprise that Gold gathers together four previously issued greatest-hits compilations, Greatest Hits, ...

Diana Ross & Supremes
For those who believe the Supremes' best work can be found within the bounds of their many hits, this edition of Motown's solid, late-'90s repackaging job will be the collection to get. Covering the seraphic vocal group's prime stretch, the 25-track set (nine short of the previous -- and arguably still superior -- Anthology package) includes all ...

Diana Ross & the Supremes
Surprisingly, very few artists can float a digital-age collection of number one singles without resorting to trickery involving foreign countries or obscure charts. The Beatles had little trouble (The Beatles 1) and Elvis Presley managed both a disc of number ones (Elvis: 30 #1 Hits) and one of number twos (2nd to None), but Michael Jackson bent ...

Songs

by
Luther Vandross
Luther Vandross could sing almost anything convincingly, which is one of the reasons Songs is so entertaining. A collection of personal favorites, Songs suffers from the common flaws of covers albums -- it isn't consistent, it sounds slightly canned, and seems like a way to buy time between "real" albums. Nevertheless, Vandross is a truly fine ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross & the Supremes

by
Diana Ross & the Supremes
Every track here except "Reflections" achieved number one pop status. If "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone" had been included, and "Reflections" omitted, the whole CD would be composed of number one pop hits. The omission of "The Happening" (ugh), also a number one hit, was a good one. These 11 songs represent the Supremes', and writers/producers ...

Motown Greatest Hits

by
Various Artists
A three-disc set released by Universal International, Motown Greatest Hits is a wonderful collection that combines the obvious Motown hits with material a little less at the center of the label's patented 1960's sound. Rick James' "Superfreak" and Billy Preston's "With You I'm Born Again" are just two of the titles mixed in here that give this ...

This two-disc set (there is a DVD disc entitled My Generation: The History of Rock 'n' Roll also included in the package) from Time-Life is split into two parts (arbitrarily labeled AM and FM), both of which are centered on the pivotal year of 1967, the year in which rock went psychedelic and widened its scope into the political and social arenas, ...

Diana Ross & the Supremes
This release marks the fourth time a Supremes collection titled Anthology has hit the racks. Fans can be forgiven for getting confused, even aggravated, as to which one should be selected above others, as all of them contain the basic big hits for which the group is known. Motown keeps tweaking the precise track lineup with each edition, however, ...

Marmalade
Stocked with 25 BBC recordings from 1967-1969 (as well as a couple of brief band interviews), this is in one important way more interesting than most single-artist '60s BBC rock comps. It's almost a supplement to Marmalade's official 1967-1969 discography in that over half the songs were not released on their studio recordings of the era. Of ...

An Evening with Diana Ross

by
Diana Ross
Recorded live at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, An Evening With Diana Ross is, in some ways, a definitive Diana Ross album. It may have been recorded in California, but it feels like a Vegas revue, as Diana sings standards, showtunes, forgotten favorites and hits, even telling the Story of Motown and the Supremes in song. It's not ...

Diana Ross & The Supremes
Their last album with Holland-Doizer-Holland at the creative helm, it was apparent that both parties were battling creative fatigue and were exhibiting the appropriate scars at the time. But aside from the then-innovative title song and the jazzy "In and Out of Love," there's nothing much to get excited about. (Note: the CD version contains two ...

When it was released in 1974, Motown's Diana Ross and the Supremes Anthology was the most comprehensive compilation yet issued on one of the 1960s' most popular groups. A 35-track triple LP, it superseded the 1967 double-LP Greatest Hits, including 17 of that album's 20 tracks, as well as the 1969 Greatest Hits, Volume 3, all of which was repeated ...

Richard Perry's production on Endless Flight, coupled with the tremendous song selection, makes it superior to the 1977 follow-up, Thunder in My Heart (also produced by Perry, but with not as much heart), with this project remaining big through most of that same year. The two number one hits, a catchy Vini Poncia/Leo Sayer co-write, "You Make Me ...

From Burt Bacharach to Barry Mann and Paul Williams, over the years some of pop music's top songwriters have occasioned to record reinterpretations of their own hits. The middle hyphenate of the famed Motown songwriting team, Holland-Dozier-Holland, has an advantage over those three in that he's recorded in the past for major labels and received a ...

Motown Records' Anthology series, first introduced in the 1970s, presented three-LP sets devoted to the work of its major artists, among them, of course, Diana Ross and the Supremes, who got a 35-track treatment in 1974, chronicling their chart hits and a handful of their more adventurous stylistic forays. Twelve years later, Motown brought out a ...

Buyer beware: These are not Motown sides but Ian Levine's productions on the Supremes. It's impossible to discern exactly who's singing on each cut because Levine used five former members of the Supremes in various combinations. If it's any solace, Levine did a better job producing the Supremes than many of the other ex-Motown artists he coaxed ...
