Sounds Like Motown

Motown was founded in 1959, and it wasn't long before the label had developed a signature sound hooked around perky backbeats, call-and-response vocals and sophisticated orchestration. Naturally, other acts attempted to mimic—or pay homage to—the blend. This mix rounds up artists like Dusty Springfield, Jackie Wilson and Gloria Jones, who all dropped their own take on the Motown groove.
