HotWHeels: Motown Records Special | Adam Cooke

I consider Motown to be one of the most important independent record labels in recorded music history. Over these 2 hours I will show you why. Dubbed "Hitsville U.S.A", Motwon was a hit record powerhouse and with writing, recording, publishing and promotion all under one roof they pioneered a model that every label that followed tried to emulate.

Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Diana Ross and The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye and just some of the iconic artists that Motown helped break.

In a time where some people are crying 'leave politics out of music' I'll also cover the cultural and political impact Motown Records had on 1960s America and why politics and art are inseparable.
