  • Check out 8 Songs Musical Artists Have
    Search TRAILBLAZERS IN MUSIC: CHECK OUT SONGS MUSICAL ARTISTS HAVE SAMPLED FROM WOMEN OF MOTOWN By Brianna Rhodes Photo: Classic Motown - Advertisement - The Sound Of Young America wouldn’t be known for what it is today without the trailblazing Women of Motown. Throughout its 60-year existence, Motown Records made an impact on the world thanks to music genius and founder, Berry Gordy. It's important to note though, that the African- American owned label wouldn’t have reached so many monumental milestones without The Supremes, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, Mary Wells, The Marvelettes, Tammi Terrell and Gladys Knight. The success of these talented women proved that women voices needed to be heard through radio airwaves everywhere. As a kid, you were probably singing melodies created by these women around the house with family members or even performing the songs in your school’s talent show, not even realizing how much of an impact these women made on Black culture and Black music. This is why it’s important to acknowledge these women during the celebration of the label’s 60th anniversary. The legendary reign of the Women of Motown began back in 1960, with then 17-year-old musical artist Mary Wells with her debut single, “Bye Bye Baby.” Wells, who wrote the song herself, helped Motown attain its first Top 10 R&B hit ever. Wells continued to make history with her chart-topping single, “My Guy” becoming Motown’s fourth No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and the company’s first major U.K. single.

During this time, songs like "Dancing in the Street" and "What's Going On?" targeted social issues in America and created a voice for African-American people through their messages. Events like the Mississippi Freedom Summer and Bloody Thursday inspired the artists at Motown to create these songs. Influenced by the cultural and social circumstances of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical output of Motown Records between 1959 and 1972 evolved from a sole focus on entertainment in popular culture to a focus on motivating social change through music.

  • On John Lennon's Music
    “She Said She Said” – The Influence of "Feminine Voices" on John Lennon’s Music (1) John Lennon’s songs show the recurrent influence of female voices, and this can be shown by musicological comparisons of Lennon compositions with earlier songs sung by women, which he was familiar with. Some of these resemblances have already been pointed out; others are discussed here for the first time. Although these influences featured throughout Lennon’s work, we will focus on the early Beatles (1958-1963), and how specific songs, mostly US R&B, influenced Lennon’s songwriting (he wrote in partnership with Paul McCartney, but it is possible to establish the balance of their contributions by reference to secondary literature, eg Miles 1997, Sheff and Golson 1982, MacDonald 2005). (2) In the period 1958-1963 the Beatles developed from a covers band into the most famous popular music group in the world. The group were constantly listening for new material (they had a huge repertoire of covers), and were absorbing and experimenting with different musical styles in response to increasingly feminised audiences. They initially saw their songwriting as addressing a primarily female audience (Lewisohn 2013). Moreover, almost all the works featuring woman’s voices identified in Lennon’s work come from this period. (3) Lennon, by most accounts, was the “macho” Beatle and was occasionally violent towards women, so it seems surprising that he led the way in covering and borrowing from songs sung by women, most particularly, early 60s US girl-groups such as The Shirelles, the Marvelettes and The Cookies. (4) Most accounts of the Beatles' influences emphasise male artists such as Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry (Dafydd, Crampton 1996, 4; Gould 2007, 58–68).

  • Interview with MARY WILSON Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on April 2, 2018
    This interview with MARY WILSON was conducted by the Library of Congress on April 2, 2018 Mary Wilson Photo credit: Alan Mercer Library of Congress: Can you tell me about the first time “Where Did Our Love Go?” was presented to you as a song to be recorded? Mary Wilson: We had already released five, or six, or seven singles and they had been received locally very well in Detroit, and the surrounding area, but we had never had a big, national chart hit and Berry Gordy was like, “We’ve got to get the girls a hit record.” That’s when he put us with his top writing team Holland, Dozier and Holland. HDH came up with “When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes” and we thought we were on our way with a hit record. Motown then released “Run Run Run”—it never made the charts at all--but “Lovelight” made the charts and we thought, “We’re on the right track.” We kept on trying. One day HDH said they had just come up with some smashes; that’s what they used to say when they felt they had a hit! We were brought several songs to listen to as I recall. When we heard “Where Did Our Love Go?” none of us was really excited about it. I remembered saying to Eddie Holland that if we didn’t get a hit record our parents were going to make us go to college. He said, “Trust me, Mary, this song is going to be a hit.” The reason that we did not care for “Where Did Our Love Go” was that we wanted a song more like the other girl groups, with more R&B driven rhythm, like the Marvellettes and the Vandellas; after all we were the first girl group to sign with Motown.

It also has, over the past half century, been reconsidered, reevaluated and recognized as one of the most substantial Pop/Soul music recordings ever set to wax. But it almost didn't happen. Motown records, “the sound of young America” were, throughout the sixties, the most successful soul music label in the world. It was a strategic triumph that came to pass in part because, with very few exceptions (1963’s “The Great March to Freedom: Martin Luther King Jr Speaks” was one), the label’s music was decidedly uncontroversial.

It began in Paris on November 18, 1881, the year in which the first and most famous cabaret of all, the Chat Noir (Black Cat), was established. Paris, during what the French like to call the Belle Epoque, was the cultural capital of Europe; the mecca of the arts to which admirers and young hopefuls flocked from one end of Europe to the other, and indeed from still farther away. If something caught on in Paris, the immense reputation of the city as the source of fashion and innovation ensured its rapid diffusion across the continent and beyond. Besides giving rise to many cabarets in Paris itself, in its own time and after it became history, the Chat Noir also inspired the introduction of cabaret in major cities throughout Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

  • Music, Memory, and Waiting: Living Life in a Series of Lines
    ABSTRACT MUSIC, MEMORY, AND WAITING: LIVING LIFE IN A SERIES OF LINES This collection of essays explores culture and acculturation. The way identity begins, evolves, and forms around so much that is complicated: family (close, extended, ancestral), friends, relationships, the luck of draw, random biological imperatives, and sheer determination. No heroes or villains, just real individuals with complicated backstories and inclinations. The settings of these stories take place in a Mexican Barrio known as “North Side” of Visalia located in the heart of California’s Central Valley. The stories capture what it means for a growing family to live on the “poor side” of town to move to the “rich side” of town. A family that has to deal with pre- disposed roles, to be limited by class and culture, yet are still able to find meaning and even transcendence within these boundaries. Music and cruising are identified as forms of escape and a way to bond and bridge gaps between family and friends. More importantly, these essays are about the working class experiences from the perspective of Mexican Americans living in the Central Valley from the 1940s to present day Jacqueline A.
