Stevie Wonder was just 13 when "Fingertips (Part 2)" hit #1 in 1963. By 20, he was writing, producing and playing every instrument for hits such as "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours." He then broadened his humanitarian vision and explored jazz, African and Latin rhythms, and pioneered synthesizers. In the 70s & 80s he wrote many of these number one hits. Listen here.
The Supremes are the most popular and successful female group of all time. They were also an important groundbreaking act that broke down barriers of race like no other artists ever had. They defined the pop era with five consecutive number one pop hits: “Where Did Our Love Go”-“Baby Love”-“Come See About Me”-“Stop! In The Name Of Love”-“Back In My Arms Again". Listen here.
The Temptations Number One Hits is the perfect mix of harmony, R&B and messaging. The Temptations are the most popular male vocal and soul group in the world.

Listen here.
Boyz II Men is the biggest selling group in the Motown's history.

Listen here.
They were Motown’s “mature” group - veterans of the R&B circuit, schooled in jazz harmony and hard times - yet they were destined for Berry Gordy’s family company. The Four Tops, all from Detroit, joined Motown in 1963 and within a year had smash after smash, starting with “Baby I Need Your Loving,” and continuing to “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” Listen here.
Lionel Richie has reached a series of dazzling artistic heights. Richie wrote the theme song for the motion picture Endless Love as a duet with Diana Ross.

With “I Want You Back,” among the greatest debut hit singles of all time, Michael, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito launched into the stratosphere.

The Commodores joined Motown in 1972, toiling for years in the studio and on the road—as the opening act for the Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder—before becoming the premiere R&B/pop group of the late seventies and early eighties. From hard funk like “Brick House” to the soaring pop of “Three Times A Lady,” “Easy” and more, they remain one of the most recognizable bands of any era. Listen here.
Martha & the Vandellas encapsulated the sixties and, in the process, created a musical touchstone for pop and for Motown.
