Motown invented and developed a great sound [["The Sound of Young America") and G & H put it in another level when it seems "all was previously invented and almost impossible to made something innovator enough"; obviously, this is IMHO).
Cheers to all phillysound, chi sound, memphis sound and detroit sound lovers.
