- Motown music beholds some of the greatest songs and artists of the 20th century. With that being said, and with the first Motown video being an enormous channel success, I've decided to revisit the music of Motown by making a second installment. After nearly two years since the first video, I proudly present to you "The 100 Greatest Motown Songs Part 2."
Motown is a record company founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit. Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music by achieving a crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as "The Motown Sound", a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.

Motown will always be my favorite. Wish today's music could be this great!
This was the era when music was worth listening to and artist had real talent.
Precious Baby Doll see
Not wrong
Not entirely accurate. More accurate would be to say that the music worth listening to was easy access. There's very much a whole lotta people who make music, they just don't make a whole lotta success enough to play everywhere, and it's harder to find them unfortunately.... Still, they do exist and always will
I wonder if Berry Gordy & co realised what a truly magnificent musical monster they released on the world when they started Motown? All I can say is GOD BLESS THEM
Just visited Motown in April 2018 and brought many wonderful memories! The building where all this magic happened is now a historic building. There is going to be a 50 million expansion done around the original building. History continues to live on. Congratulations to the Gordy Family and Foundation.
even after 50 yrs this music is still the best
Music is the best
RIGHT ON!
And a lot of the songs are still very relevant today. Example Marvin Gaye...what's going on to mention a few. RIP
keith bailey Motown is the most successful Soul label of all time
Your absolutely right I have all of them and glad I did
Love those Motown songs. Brings back lots memories of dances , when i was young and dancing all the time.
Tops never underated or forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!
Marvin Gaye was the smoothest and Coolest Operator that I have ever heard or seen. He was one of the best ever.
Sam Cooke, too.
DAVID RUFFIN
Fabulous music. Four Tops were my favourites. I just live Motown. Nothing today can compare.
Four Tops my favorites too
Yes, the absolute best rhythm, velvet sound and perfect timing - original and irreplaceable. I am so honoured to have been alive during this time and honoured I was born to LOVE it!!!!!
Born 1955 I grew up listening Motown & Salsa, this cut brings many good memories. I have almost all these songs & more - GOOD JOB.👏🏽🇵🇷🇺🇸
I have spent the last 45 minutes listening to 50 60 hits on earphones.
For fathers day in June 2018 my 3 daughters gave me a Certificate good for one daddy-daughter trip to the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland,Ohio.Then they surprised me with side trips to Graceland,the house where The Christmas Story was filmed ( you'll shoot your eye out!) Then because I have been Sober in AA for 33 years,the took me to the home of one of the two founders of AA in 1935. When they were teenagers I divorced their mother due to addiction which caused her to abandon them and I raised them. It's early November and I am still wearing the wrist band from when we entered the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland,Ohio.

Love the music of the 60s. Thanks for this compilation of the greatest music of the 20th Century.
I, love all this music and It brought me back to my youth years, which I used to spend hours and playing those 45' records of all these most wonderful and talented singers. I, love all of them, and who ever talks bad about them are just jealous and evil individuals. Those times were very hard for these stars, and despite everything they made it to the top. I know because I came to live here in 1961 from another country. It was truly hard on all of us.
These artist were the BEST, and merit all the respect in this world.

Best years
Wow. The memories these songs bring back. I was just a little kid for so much of this (b. 1961) but it was still a part of my life. I grew up in NE Ohio, but we could get CKLW (the Motor City ...) at night on the transistor and they played TONS of Motown. Not as big a fan of the Supremes, but the rest, including the solo acts -- awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed these vintage songs esp the battle of the groups.
These songs are my teenage years! I love to listen and remember the days
I bought my first Motown album in 1970 and 50 years later still have a lot of Motown tracks on my 2020 i phone playlist. I’ve seen Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, and the Four Tops live.
Motown is where all the good started 😘 En I was just a itty bitty girl listening to my 45 of Diana Ross and the Supremes on my little blue record player singing and dancing the whole show! That's when it all started for me and I'm so thankful and so grateful for their unrequited love and friendship they unknowingly gave me all my years growing up#!
That is exactly the same for me. Best wishes from The UK.
I always like to look back on the old days...even though this is old ..its nice that we can pull the past up on utube..im 56 yrs old and the 60's was the best yrs for Motown..i love it..
60s and 70s were the BEST years for Motown.
I would lose my mind if I didn’t have Motown music to listen to every day and night! Thank y’all for sharing 🔥❤️🔥xx
60 yr. old and this is still my music💽it makes me feel so many things.good...bad...ugly..' Chicago, Humboldt Park....this kept me going🌹😎
Wtf did that last video have to do with anything, let alone MOTOWN, OMG THAT MESS UP EVERYTHING, DAMN

@@earlinewalker3282 aaaaaa
I agree wit u👍💯
The best of rhythm and blues the best of the Jackson 5 greatest hits
E. E we e n.
Great music!
Motown is the Best....... shows so many times in our lives that you can't help but remember....
Marvin Gaye was the MAN! He wrote and sang romance, dance, and the best damn protest songs EVER!
What's going on was written in the 70's. Mainly after his brother returned home from Nam unrecognizable.
The soundtrack of my teenage years.
Some of marvin's songs where written by obie from the four tops..
All old school music is good for the soul if it don't make u pop your fingers it will make you move your feet
That moment when you realize that EVERY song on this list could’ve been the #1 greatest Motown song
I've heard some of the young generation sing some of these wonderful gorgeous music, but there not giving them the chance to revive them again, because them want the music of today which it doesn't stand not even to there ankles.
Thoses song's were and are the best. I was born in 57, but I always heard all thoses song's.
I'm puertoriquen, but never was too in to my own music, it was always soul music. Boy did I get so much beaten because of it, that didn't stop me, got a cassette player and headphones and heard my music anyway.
For me soul music is the best anytime. Love then still love it now, have a big collection of all them oldies. Mmm.
Thanks for this great Motown Magic !!
Thanks Motown for all the memory 🎶🎶🎶
Incredible talent fabulous show real motown songs an artista
Nov.28: Happy birthday Berry Gordy Jr., Entrepreneur / Motown Records founder (January 1959; Hitsville USA) God bless. Legend. Thanks for the upload, Nathaniel Jordon. Blessings
Smokey was a great writer, singer and producer. He deserves a movie of his own. That also applies to Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. Motown had a lot of talent on board.
Side note: My grandmother did not like too much secular music but she really liked the Impressions.
That makes sense as The Impressions put out several tracks that bordered on church music. They did a re-make of "Amen" and would anyone doubt that "People Get Ready" had religious overtones. Even "It's all Right" has a spiritual vibe. Your grand-mom had good taste. (However, The Impressions were not a Motown group, they were on ABC Paramount Records.
thank you an thanks to the singers....cuz we lived threw the music an it was a great ride🎵🎤
LOVE MOTOWN!
I JUST wish it was the full songs :/
TEMPTATIONS FOREVER...!!!!!!
I second that emotion uh,I mean motion
I love the Temptations they are so very talented and beautiful voices
Dianna Howe ...the Greatest of All Time. Temptations

Maybe i can save the world of music

The best compare to rap music nowadays...
@@xclusv100 cup
Amen!!!
People today can't sing like the old days. Doo well
Doo doo. Persuations,, the temps. Glad I loved that music.
I feel like the 4 tops where always looked over, no credit , no movie not anything.....so sad.
Agree and the Four Tops were awesome. Levi Stubb was the man but he didn't allow it to go to his head.
I feel the same way about The Drifters with Upon the Roof, Under the Boardwalk and Save the Last Dance for me.
I agree. Levi Stubb's was one of the Greatest Singers- not only at Motown, but in American Popular Music
Who am replying to and what about
Miss J that not true the Four Tops were popular
Bons tempos A Motown, conseguiu os melhores, amei a história 🤩
I love Motown so much

i love Black culture !! So proud to be black !! Even if whites look down to us , blacks are always beautiful

When a part of history making music includes working w them for 25 yrs you are part of the Motown Legacy. LivU4ever.

The Motown sound is wonderful. I love it! Blessings!
Never thought I be still hearing some of the old motown songs. But never get tried of hearing them.
Yes, I was in elementary school and we understood every word! Not like the language they use now a days
I went to see the Temptations on Broadway last week. Many of us increased the population because of these songs . MOTOWN!😍👍🏿🤲
I'm from Detroit Motown still to this day makes proud of my city, what came off of West Grand Blvd. Changed music came ok but off my city where was born and grew up,its a feelin off so much pride,we in Detroit feels it belongs to us
Motown Soul R&B my favourites. I queued up outside the then Odeon Cinema in Lewisham London to get a ticket to see the 4 Tops a very long time ago They were brilliant. It was 1968 or 69
These songs remind me of my Brothers much love very miss!!!
I thought I was dead but hearing those classic I'm alive now memories of my grandparents
