SSNP 309 | Motown 60, Part 1: The History of Hitsville USA From Marvin Gaye to Migos (feat. Yusuf Lamont, @treblefree & @CDubbTheHost)

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the history-making and groundbreaking Motown Records, and following the premiere of the new documentary "Hitsville: The Making of Motown," the SSN Crew is joined by an all-star panel of guests - Carolyn from The C-Dubb Show, Greg aka tREBLEFREE, and Yusuf Lamont - for a comprehensive dive into the histories of Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross & the Supremes, Gladys Knight & the Pips, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Rick James, DeBarge, Boyz II Men, Erykah Badu, and...the Migos?! How did Motown create the template for crossover success for African-American artists - and what implications, good and bad, did that have in the past and the present? Does "Dreamgirls" tarnish the legacy of The Supremes' Florence Ballard in its appropriation of her tragic story? And who are the producers, songwriters, musicians, and session singers who kept the Motown machine running? There's so much to cover that we couldn't possibly fit it all into two hours - so we didn't! Enjoy part one now and look out for part two coming up next!
