60-tallets nest største musikkfenomen belønnes med en dobbelsamling som overgår det meste. 40 spor, innspilt 1959-1972, alle klassikere, og alle verdt å høre igjen og igjen. Riktignok er flesteparten av disse låtene av artister som forsvarer egne dobbelsamlinger.
Men Motown var Motown før det var Smokey Robinson, Supremes, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops og vidunderlige Marvelettes, og fortjener å høres på den måten. På den første CD-en klokker to sanger inn over 3:00 og to inn under 2:30. Formelen var innarbeidet, og formelen var perfekt.
