Motown around the World – The Classic Singles

Written by admin on April 20, 2010 – 7:03 am -



Motown collectors can now obtain all the label’s foreign language recordings on a 2-CD set from Hip-o Select.

With the Motown Records fan base spreading across Europe in the 1960s, the company decided that its major stars should perform foreign language versions of their hits to appeal to these markets. This new 2-CD set includes all 38 of these tracks from The Supremes, The Temptations, The Miracles, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Edwin Starr, Jimmy Ruffin, and the Velvelettes.
