Motown!


Iv been inspired to write a blog about Motown cos of Mr Smokey Robinson. He follows all his followers on twitter!! Wow! What an awesome celebrity! Ok i dont know the intricate details about Motown, but i know that its made a huge impact in the lives of many. Motown was the first record label to be owned by AFRICAN AMERICANS, wow! in a time of racial segregation in America! And Mr Smokey Robinson was the deputy president while Mr Berry Gordy was the president. They had signed on to their label, LEGENDS like Marvin Gaye, the four tops, the supremes,the temptations,the Jackson five and my personal favourite Mr Stevie Wonder! So much talent! Mr Smokey Robinson was also an artist under motown with his group The miracles. He also wrote songs for the artists of motown. He wrote my FAVOURITE SONG by the temptations called "the way u do the things do" and the famous "My girl." The impact of motown also hit SOUTH AFRICA, i mean look at the artists that came out of the SOPHIA TOWN era,And it crossed over to the white race.Yes Motown is the greatest record label of all time! Let me leave you with a line from my favourite song written by MR Smokey Robinson for the temptations "well you could have been anything that you wanted to and i can tell... The way you do the things u do"
