Motown Records was founded by music producer Berry Gordy Jr. in 1959. After getting
his start as a songwriter for singers in the Detroit area, he wanted to try his hand at
producing. He began signing local artists to his new label, Tamla, which later became
Motown Records. The songs released by his label showed a signature sound - big, bold
orchestrations of jazz, blues, and R&B styles, reflecting the largely African-American
culture of the Detroit area - that Gordy called "The Sound of Young America". It wasn't
long before Motown began scoring hit after hit with songs like "Please Mr. Postman"
"Where Did Our Love Go", "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", and many other songs that define the
mid-to-late 1960s for many people. Many of the artists Gordy signed to Motown went on to
become legendary, like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and the
Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and the Jackson Five. From
1961 to 1971, Motown had 110 top 10 hit songs, including classics like "My Girl", "I Want
You Back", and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". The songs that were recorded on the
Motown label inspired countless musicians, and the artists that performed them paved the
way for African-Americans in entertainment.
