Motown: The DVD

Motown/UMe

Conquering the world not only through flawless pop ’n’ soul but also smooth showmanship, Motown’s royalty ruled over countless television cameras. Whether lip-syncing (the Marvelettes), singing live to tape (Marvin Gaye) or belting it out with a band (the Four Tops), the performers in these hip-shaking, contagiously joyous TV clips could make their saddest songs seem celebratory. Nothing captures Motor City spirit like Martha and the Vandellas riding a Ford Mustang assembly line in bouffant wigs while lip-syncing and laughing through ‘Nowhere to Run.’
