    Motown Records is one of the world’s most influential labels and helped to launch the careers of many of the world’s biggest artists – let us explore some of the very best.
    Motown Records, launched in Detroit in 1959 and named after the city of the motor, has a long and storied history. As an African-American owned label hiring black artists they achieved huge crossover success which brought a whole range of amazing black artists to the forefront of popular music.

    Their cultural significance can not be overstated, but as socially powerful as their movement was they are also that a bunch of the world’s most iconic artists are known to us.

    In celebration of this incredible label we wanted to take a look at 5 of Motown’s most significant, most talented, and wonderfully brilliant artists.

    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.
