Free Music Notes for The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 1: 1959-1961

Free Music Review: Box Set Long Overdue
Hit: 5 Stars

It's about time! Although most tracks are mastered from the original tapes, 26 are dubbed from the original 45s--"Let's Rock" sounding the worst but still worth having (as if you can find it anywhere else). This package also indicates recording dates on some tracks, rare photos, and track-by-track notes (e.g. other artists who've remade each track, story behind the music, corrections on writer/producer credit). Here are some I found very interesting:
- Nick & the Jaguars were Motown's 1st white act.
- "I've Got A Notion" originally by Henry Lumpkin, later remade by Marv Johnson. "We Really Love Each Other" is almost a duet with Smokey.
- "I Want A Guy" from The Supremes. Freddie Gorman recalls Berry Gordy saying, "I don't want another girl group." I thought The Supremes were the 1st girl group at the company.
- Richard Wylie & His Band (Popcorn & the Mohawks) originally recorded "I'll Still Be Around" before Mary Wells.
- "Tomorrow and Always" given proper writer's credit to Goffin & King.
- "Angel" originally recorded by The Satintones before The Marvelettes.
- Mable John's "No Love" also recorded by Mary Wells, although not noted.
- "You're My Desire" originally recorded by The Equadors before Mary Wells.
- "The Day Will Come" originally recorded by Freddie Gorman before Mary Wells.
- The Supremes singing backup for Bob Kayli, Don McKenzie, and possibly Pete Hartfield.
- Norman Whitfield credit as vocal accompaniment to Mickey Woods although not noticeable.
- Most songs produced by Berry Gordy during that era. It's nice to hear Brian Holland growing from backup singer to writer to producer.
