Motown in Love: Lyrics from the Golden Era Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of I'm not in the habit of buying books that have no plot or can't teach me anything or at least be entertaining in some way.But now I must admit I'm glad I got this book.This book is all about the lyrics I grew up listening to.On some of these songs I never fully understood the words or I didn't remenber them until I found this book.This book contains some of the best songs that came out of the Motown era.While under the leadership of Berry Gordy Motown put together a group of talented singers,arrangers,producers and songwriters.The lyrics that people like Marvin Gaye,Smokey Robinson,Stevie Wonder and Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote beautiful pomes that go straight to the heart.As you read the lyrics you can hear the music that goes with the song in your head.Taking you back to the sixes.In conclusion as I was reading this book I must admit I was wrong.This book does have a plot in a strange way.The plot of this book is to take us back to an era when songs were true pomes of love.Lyrics that taught us how to express our feelings toward those we love.And those songs found a way to somehow entertain us along the way.

Here at last: all the words to all the great love songs from the golden era of Motown, when the Motown sound dominated the charts and kids fell in love, broke up, and fell in love again to its irresistibly danceable hits. Born in inner-city Detroit but loved by people all around the world, the songs of Motown remain unmistakable and unforgettable: "I'll Be There," "My Girl," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Stop! In the Name of Love," "Please Mr. Postman," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." From the tender beginnings of romance to the heartbreak of good-bye, Motown's legendary songwriters and performers captured all the nuances of love in what became some of the most beloved songs of our time. Motown Records left behind an unequaled legacy of popular music that was both sophisticated and streetwise, achingly emotional and the epitome of cool. This vibrant collection of lyrics enables us to sing along–not just hum along–to our favorite Motown tunes and acknowledges the contributions of the lyricists who made these celebrated records possible, from singer-songwriters Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Marvin Gaye to collaborators Holland-Dozier-Holland, Ashford and Simpson, and Strong and Whitfield.With an insightful introduction by editor Herb Jordan and rare photographs of the best-known Motown musicians and writers, Motown in Love is a treasure for those who lived by the songs in the sixties and seventies, and for those just discovering them now.Featuring all the words to:ain't no mountain high enoughain't nothing like the real thingain't that peculiarall in love is fair asask the lonelybaby i need your lovingbaby i'm for realbaby loveback in my arms againbeauty is only skin deepbernadettechoosey beggarcome and get these memoriescome see about medancing in the streetdevil with a blue dress ondistant loverdo you love medoes your mama know about medon't look backdon't mess with billevery little bit hurtsfading awayfor once in my lifeget readyhe was really sayin' somthin'heat wavehitch hikehow sweet it is to be loved by youthe hunter gets captured by the gamei can't get next to youi can't help myself i hear a symphonyi heard it through the grapevine(i know) i'm losing youi second that emotioni want you backi was made to love heri wish it would rainif i could build my whole world around youif i were your womanif it's magicif this world were minei'll be doggonei'll be in trouble i'll be therei'll try something newi'm gonna make you love meit takes twoit's growingit's the same old songjust my imagination (running away with me)latelylet's get it onthe love i saw in you was just a miragelove is here and now you're gonelove is like an itching in my heartthe love you savelove's in need of love todayloving you is sweeter than evermore lovemy cherie amourmy girlmy girl has gonemy guymy world is empty without younever can say goodbyenever dreamed you'd leave in summernowhere to runthe one who really loves youooo baby babyplease mr. postmanpride and joyreach out i'll be therereflectionsrocket love7 rooms of gloomshake me, wake me (when it's over)shop aroundsigned, sealed, delivered, i'm yourssince i lost my babystanding in the shadows of lovestop! in the name of lovestubborn kind of fellowtake me in your arms (rock me)the tears of a clownthis old heart of mine (is weak for you)too busy thinking about my babythe tracks of my tearstruly yourstwo loversuntil you come back to me (that's what i'm gonna do)up the ladder to the roofuptight (everything's alright)the way you do the things you dowhat becomes of the brokenheartedwhat's going onwhen i'm gonewhen the lovelight starts shining through his eyeswhere did our love gowho's lovin' youyester-me, yester-you, yesterdayyou are the sunshine of my lifeyou beat me to the punchyou can't hurry loveyou keep me hangin' onyour precious loveyou're a wonderful oneyou're all i need to get byyou're my everythingyou've really got a hold on me
