Motown Treasures

Although I have never heard of the vast majority of these artists, I will consider this because as a girl group fan, there would simply HAVE to be some good ones on there with such an extensive collection. Happy to see anything still coming out on CD this far into the future.

The only Motown connection that comes to mind was Mary Wilson making a guest appearance on his Come See About Me album, where she sang on the title cut.

I agree with your assessment of both that song and the album as a whole. It is really a shame that the Marvelettes had such a relatively short career, but as we know, there were many reasons behind that.

So far I have only had time to scroll through the list at a pretty good speed. So is Freda Payne on there? Or Martha Reeves? Joe Simon? Joe Tex? Tyrone Davis? Ann Peebles? Denise LaSalle? (I know I am reaching now!) But my biggest gripe is putting so many of these newcomers on there that have not been around long enough to prove themselves. Give me longevity over a few big hits any day.

I will read the entire list another time but I stopped reading when H.E.R. came in ahead of both Jackie Wilson and Etta James. Absurd with a capital A!!!!

Great track listing! Was this ever available on CD?

What other artists have released Collected sets. The only other one I have seen was by ABBA.

Absolutely awful to lose two great musical talents so close to one another. Gwen released some really cool jams, my favorite being the funky "Damn Right It's Good."
