According to Hallgeir
It is Berry Gordy’s birthday today. I use the occasion to set up a list of my favourite Motown albums. As always it is a snapshot of my mind at this particular moment, done to tomorrow, it would have resulted in a different list.
Berry Gordy, Jr. (born November 28, 1929) is an American record producer, and the founder of the Motown record label, as well as its many subsidiaries. He was also a very competent songwriter and producer.
I chose to honor him with a list of great albums from his hit factory. So here we go:
1 What’s Goin on by Marvin Gaye
Highlights: What’s goin on, Mercy Mercy Me, Innecity Blues (makes me wanna holler)
2 Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Highlights: Too high, Living for the city, Higher ground
3 Imagination by Gladys Knight and The Pips
Highlights: Midnight train to Georgia, Best thing that ever happened to me, I’ve got to use my imagination
4 Let’s get it on by Marvin Gaye
Highlights: Let’s get it on, Come get to this, You sure love to ball
5 Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Highlights: Superstition, Maybe your baby, You’ve got it bad girl
