So the editor Flunked spelling

also

I thought they
would list James Jamerson

Motown was more than five icons, they're tripping.

"Marvalettes"? Really?

It’s a blog and it sounds like it’s translated and English might not have been their first language

It’s the internet - everyone has an opinion and can say anything so it’s no surprise

I'd say that it was written by someone who doesn't really know Motown. This, however, is unsurprising since most experts have retired.

Only A Top Five!? That's too low of a number for the ranks of Motown Records.

No disrespects, but my first thought when seeing the title "Top 5 Most Iconic Motown Musicians", was James Jamerson, Benny Benjamin, and Earl Van Dyke.

This is a bogus list, a bad list
