Been wanting to put this out for a while. Motown is loved by most everyone and in fact they have influenced a number of other artists, producers and labels. They did something no other label could really do. But the artists on this playlist try. This Pol's Pick takes songs from a variety of years that were heavily influenced by the Motown sound. Some are related to Motown (musicians and producers that got fired or just hired on the side) and many that just loved the sound and copied it to an extent. I hope you enjoy this. I had fun compiling it and fun designing the Fauxtown cover. Notice the Faux leather....
