Michael McDonald's signature sound blends perfectly in this love letter to Motown. The production shapes personality and respects the originals while adding emotional depth, and Michael McDonald's colors each song with deep dark smoothness. Thanks!

"2009 was a big year for black faces on the news stand, I'm still not sure who got move magazine covers, President Obama or Michael Jackson. One of my favorite MJ covers is Wax Poetics Issue 37, featuring Mike looking at us in the eye, makes you wonder what was on his mind."

"This one took me by surprise, why? Because the translation of the word "remix" in my mind is "avoid". So I set my expectations on "bottom" and pressed play,... The first track didn't do much for me, but it also wasn't cluttered with a lot of ego-rapping all over it, so I went to the next track and was instantly happy with the direction that The Neptune's took with "Never Can Say Goodbye", but t..."

"Stevie Wonder reset the standard for cool when he recored Talking Book. And not just because he could pull off a cover photo consisting of Mr. Wonder sitting in the sand dressed in daishiki and braids. Yes, I'm sure Fisher Spooner would love to try. So besides the hits such as "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" and "Superstition" my favorite is the funky blues masterpiece "Maybe Your Baby", it's a ..."

"Stephen Marley gets it right, the production on "Mind Control" institutes soulful beats and instrumentation as if it's a Motown release, this works extremely well with Stephen Bob Marleys endowed voice. The song writing on Mind Control provides Stephen a method in which his sound can be instantly recognized as pure Marley and at the same time distinguishes his style from the rest of his family.

What's Going On - 40th Anniversary [Super Deluxe] by Marvin Gaye

1 recommendation

"The original album What's Going on is a master pice best experienced on vinyl - partly because the album is produced a sound space divided in two. The 40th Anniversary addition contains the original trax as well as a load of rare songs that don't enhance the overall experience, but are a great mix of songs to put in different playlists. But before I dismiss the additional tracks as just extra, the..."

"Almost everyone knows Little Stevie Wonder, even the generation of the times. Only a few would miss the opportunity of admiring this sensational, harmonica-playing boy wonder of the ‘60s. Indeed he was young and blind but these things didn’t hinder him from hitting millions with his ground-breaking single release ‘Fingertips’ in 1963."

"Here’s one of the most successful groups from Motown Records back in the 60’s and still hot until this very moment, which appear so gorgeously with their tailored suits and well choreographed dance. Their songs usually are categorized as soul, funk, doo-wop, disco, and R&B. If you haven’t heard any of their songs, then probably now is the time. Members of the bands include: Eddie Kendricks, and Pa..."
