Achieve3000- Lesson 5/23/21, 10:28 PM Page 1 of 1 PRINT Printed by: LIAM DUNN Printed on: May 23, 2021 Motown: The Beat Goes On Before Reading Poll Motown Records became one of the most influential record companies in American history. The company gave its name to the popular style of music that it created. What do you think about this statement? Motown Records changed the direction of pop music forever. Agree Disagree Explain why you voted the way you did. Article Photo credit: Redferns/Getty Images One of Motown Records premier acts during the 1960s was The Supremes. This 1964 photo shows the group from left to right: Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Florence Ballard. DETROIT, Michigan (Achieve3000, April 7, 2021). "Calling out around the world, are you ready for a brand- new beat?" asked Martha and the Vandellas in their hit "Dancing in the Street." For a multifarious multitude of music fans in the U.S. and beyond, the RSVP was a resounding yes. The year was 1964, and the company that released the song, Motown Records, was changing the face of pop music. Motown songs had a unique style—a "brand-new beat"—that had young music fans on their feet. "Dancing in the Street," with its driving rhythm, vivacious vocal harmonies, and brilliant barrage of brass horns, was a prime example of Motown's signature sound, but that's not the only reason it's a fitting anthem for the label. The song is, according to the second verse, "an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet," so there's little analysis needed to reveal its message of opening doors and bringing people together…just like Motown Records itself, which built bridges to promote understanding and advance the cause of racial justice. For a record label with such a lofty legacy, Motown had modest Photo credit: Walter P. Reuther Library, Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs, Wayne State University Berry Gordy Jr. founded Motown Records in 1959. The record company created a new sound that changed popular music. beginnings. In 1959, 29-year-old Berry Gordy, Jr. borrowed $800 from relatives to start a record company in Detroit, Michigan. He set up an office and recording studio in a two-story house that came to be known, for good reason, as "Hitsville, U.S.A." In the 1960s, the company released 79 top ten hits, and it continued to churn out chart-toppers in subsequent decades. Among the musical luminaries this label launched were Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, and Marvin Gaye, who, in addition to being a star performer, cowrote many Motown songs, including "Dancing in the Street." Gordy's profitable pop powerhouse was, for a portion of the 1960s, the largest Black-owned business in the U.S. What was the secret to the company's success? First and foremost, every recording had to have the distinctive "Motown Sound," which was rooted in the soulfulness of Black gospel and infused with the jazzy, syncopated rhythms of bebop. Gordy and his team worked hard to perfect every song, and artists' on-stage appearance and decorum were meticulously orchestrated, too. Singers stepped, swayed, and sashayed through synchronized choreography, attired in stylish, coordinated dresses or tailored suits. It all added up to a winning formula for scoring smash hits…and breaking down barriers. At a time when much of American society and culture was stratified by race, Motown music was a successful cultural crossover that had widespread appeal—all over the country, Americans of different races were turning up the tunes and singing along, rocking to the same beat. But the company's impact wasn't just about good grooves and smooth moves—while Motown songs were overtaking radio airwaves and dance floors, profound social change was afoot. Activists like Martin Luther King, Jr. were striving to end racial segregation, which was still a fact of life in many parts of the country. Some people thought of the Black-owned company's music as an unofficial soundtrack for the civil rights movement, although much of it wasn't overtly political. "Dancing in the Street," in particular, became a rallying song for some of the demonstrators who took to the streets to march for equality and justice. Today, there's still "laughing, singing, and music swinging" at Motown Records, just like there was when Martha and the Vandellas belted out those ebullient lyrics in 1964. The company now focuses on contemporary R&B, soul, and hip-hop. Meanwhile, soulful snippets of classic Motown songs from the 1960s and 1970s can be heard in recent hits, sampled by stars like Drake, Childish Gambino, and Kanye West. The company's cultural legacy is alive and well, and the Motown Sound continues to reverberate—the beat goes on!

  • Young Americans to Emotional Rescue: Selected Meetings
    YOUNG AMERICANS TO EMOTIONAL RESCUE: SELECTING MEETINGS BETWEEN DISCO AND ROCK, 1975-1980 Daniel Kavka A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2010 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Katherine Meizel © 2010 Daniel Kavka All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Disco-rock, composed of disco-influenced recordings by rock artists, was a sub-genre of both disco and rock in the 1970s. Seminal recordings included: David Bowie’s Young Americans; The Rolling Stones’ “Hot Stuff,” “Miss You,” “Dance Pt.1,” and “Emotional Rescue”; KISS’s “Strutter ’78,” and “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”; Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy“; and Elton John’s Thom Bell Sessions and Victim of Love. Though disco-rock was a great commercial success during the disco era, it has received limited acknowledgement in post-disco scholarship. This thesis addresses the lack of existing scholarship pertaining to disco-rock. It examines both disco and disco-rock as products of cultural shifts during the 1970s. Disco was linked to the emergence of underground dance clubs in New York City, while disco-rock resulted from the increased mainstream visibility of disco culture during the mid seventies, as well as rock musicians’ exposure to disco music. My thesis argues for the study of a genre (disco-rock) that has been dismissed as inauthentic and commercial, a trend common to popular music discourse, and one that is linked to previous debates regarding the social value of pop music.

  • “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (Guest Post)*
    “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (guest post)* The Temptations, c. 1964 The Temptations’ 1964 recording of “My Girl” came at a critical confluence for the group, the Motown label, and a culture roiling with the first waves of the British invasion of popular music. The five-man cell of disparate souls, later to be codified by black disc jockeys as the “tall, tan, talented, titillating, tempting Temptations,” had been knocking around Motown’s corridors and studio for three years, cutting six failed singles before finally scoring on the charts that year with Smokey Robinson’s cleverly spunky “The Way You Do the Things You Do” that winter. It rose to number 11 on the pop chart and to the top of the R&B chart, an important marker on the music landscape altered by the Beatles’ conquest of America that year. Having Smokey to guide them was incalculably advantageous. Berry Gordy, the former street hustler who had founded Motown as a conduit for Detroit’s inner-city voices in 1959, invested a lot of trust in the baby-faced Robinson, who as front man of the Miracles delivered the company’s seminal number one R&B hit and million-selling single, “Shop Around.” Four years later, in 1964, he wrote and produced Mary Wells’ “My Guy,” Motown’s second number one pop hit. Gordy conquered the black urban market but craved the broader white pop audience. The Temptations were riders on that train. Formed in 1959 by Otis Williams, a leather-jacketed street singer, their original lineup consisted of Williams, Elbridge “Al” Bryant, bass singer Melvin Franklin and tenors Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams.

Dorf, Ph.D. April 2020 Abstract Recognized nationally as the funk capital of the world, Dayton, Ohio takes credit for birthing important funk groups (i.e. Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, and Lakeside) during the 1970s and 80s. Through a combination of ethnographic and archival research, this paper offers a pedagogical approach to Dayton funk, rooted in the styles and works of the city’s funk legacy. Drawing from fieldwork with Dayton funk musicians completed over the summer of 2019 and pedagogical theories of including black music in the school curriculum, this paper presents a pedagogical model for funk instruction that introduces the ingredients of funk (instrumentation, form, groove, and vocals) in order to enable secondary school music programs to create their own funk rooted in local history.

  • Soul-Guide.Pdf
    Soul – the sub-genres: • The Motown Sound • The Stax/Volt Sound • Atlantic Soul • Philadelphia Soul • 80s Soul/Urban ORIGINS Soul music eventually materialized in the early 1960s. It developed out of the Black music that became popular in the 1950's; that is, American gospel and R&B, performed primarily by black musicians almost exclusively to a black audience. Some of the most successful R&B artists of the 50s were the ones who made it into the pop charts in the 1960s with ‘Soul’ numbers. One such person was Ray Charles who was a major force in the early development of soul music with his unique style, which was of a rich blend of gospel, rhythm and blues and Jazz. musical characteristics Soul music, especially that from the 1960s, was simply ‘pop-orientated’ R&B. Therefore, Soul and R&B performances share common instrumentation, with the performing ensemble divided into a rhythm section and a horn section. Typically, the rhythm section consists of a drum kit, bass (electric or acoustic), piano (sometimes organ instead of or in addition to piano), and guitar, while the horn section features saxophones, trumpets, and occasionally trombones (though confusingly almost never, despite its name, horns). The emphasis on the horn section in most styles of soul and R&B has been one of the ways in which the music has historically been differentiated from white rock music, which has tended to be guitar dominated. Other common musical elements of Soul and R&B music include the use of: (1) the twelve--bar form, using a three line lyric, originating in earlier styles of blues; (2) call and response, whereby a singer or instrumentalist will sing or play a phrase and another vocalist or instrumentalist will answer with another phrase; (3) incessant repetition of musical notes, rhythms, phrases, or verses; the use of blue notes and (5) a tightly integrated and complex blending of instruments, in which it is often difficult to differentiate the separate sounds or instruments being played at a given moment.

All other rights reserved. Foreword I'm pleased to share with readers of Crain's Detroit Business, as well as with others in the Detroit region, this first-of-its-kind study of the business of music in southeast Michigan. Everyone that grew up in this area knows of the "Motown sound," as well as the heritage of jazz, blues, and rock that has steeped into our culture. Many of us are also aware of the more recent innovations of techno and hip-hop, much of which has roots in Detroit. However, until now there has been no systematic analysis of the business of music in our area. Our Anderson Economic Group consultants have combed census and other business records; examined the geographic pattern of nightclubs and perfor- mance venues; scanned demographic patterns for concentrations of heavy enter- tainment consumers; and even conducted primary research into the days/nights of live music available to metro Detroiters at over two hundred specific bars, taverns, and clubs. What we have assembled is a thorough analysis of an indus- try that has always been important to our culture, but can now also be known for its contributions to our employment and earnings.
