Pure gold. Just banger after banger for like 15 years straight. Berry Gordy is a king amongst kings. No idea how he pulled that off as a black man in the 1960s.

Yeah but Gordy had to find and hire great songwriters. How did he know these guys would be good and just crank out hit after hit

yeah, i'm not downplaying Barry Gordy at all. interesting fact:

"His grandfather, named Berry Gordy I, was the son of James Gordy, a white plantation owner in Georgia, and one of his slaves. Berry I's half-brother, James (son of the elder James and his legal wife), was the grandfather of President Jimmy Carter."

music "sounding black" is really interesting, because in the cultural moment it can be the LOUDEST part of a piece of recorded music - the most noticeable, the most signified, to use a grad-schooly term.

But as time passes, that signifying gets completely lost. It would be like deleting a central component of the piece of art, and no one really notices.

I got thinking about this while listening to Louis Armstrong & Hot 5 stuff recently. It has swagger and attitude, but there is no overt blackness there... no danger, no threat to race relations, no encroachment on white space, etc.

I think this comes into play with Motown. I bet to contemporary and fresh ears a lot of what was heard was "black". And now there's none of that.
