BF, thanks for that excellent blues. The only song I remember of Little Milton's was "We're gonna make it."

TIS, a big part of Berry Gordy Jr.'s Motown genius was that he didn't want the music he produced to be pigeonholed or stereotyped as "Soul," or "R&B," etc.--which would have shunted it off to the ghetto of mainstream pop music. Instead, he billed Motown as "the music of young America," which included everyone, not just blacks. Motown's artists and their music were unmistakably rooted in urban R&B, but everyone could enjoy and relate to it. To his solid rhythm section he added strings and horns. He also had a dance coach for his male acts (as in "The Temptation Walk") and a finishing school for his female acts.
