August 16th is the day Motown lovers will finally receive something that's LONG overdue.
Berry Gordy's impact in the entertainment culture has been massive thanks to the revolutionary founding of Motown Records. Fast forward to today from its 1959 birth, recognizing one of the greatest achievements in music will be done in an equally extraordinary way. The 60th anniversary of Motown Records will be brought in with a brand new Greatest Hits collection. A chunky total of 60 tracks will be compiled into 3 disks, digital formats, as well as a 2LP edition.
Set the mood with Stevie Wonder's love ballads, or Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." You can even reminisce on your youthful, innocent days with The Jackson 5. Not to mention, turning the party up thanks to Debarge's "Rhythm Of The Night."
