Motown Quotes

Motown was the mecca. It was every writer’s dream to work there Picture Quote #1

I grew up listening to oldies, like Motown. That’s from my mom Picture Quote #1

Marvin Gaye is an inspiration to me. He was one of the first Motown musicians that my mom and dad introduced me to, and I always thought it would be a good idea if I was ever an artist, and now I am, to make a record called ‘Marvin Gaye.’ Picture Quote #1

We call ‘Ain’t No Mountain’ the golden egg that landed us at Motown Picture Quote #1

Without the Fender bass, there’d be no rock n’ roll or no Motown. The electric guitar had been waiting ‘round since 1939 for a nice partner to come along. It became an electric rhythm section, and that changed everything Picture Quote #1

I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write Picture Quote #1

Even before coming into the industry, I was a big fan of Motown, the Jackson 5, Gladys Knight, the Temptations, Diana Ross and The Supremes Picture Quote #1

I’ve discovered that Motown and Broadway have a lot in common - a family of wonderfully talented, passionate, hardworking young people, fiercely competitive but also full of love and appreciation for the work, for each other and for the people in the audience Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I never listened to English music. I was more into Motown, as well as early rock n’ roll like Chuck Berry and Little Richard Picture Quote #1

For me, the highlight was meeting all the Motown acts, as I adore black soul music. I met Stevie Wonder who I love, and Diana Ross And The Supremes. I also met The Carpenters. I was actually there in the studio when they recorded We’ve Only Just Begun Picture Quote #1

Motown was about music for all people - white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone Picture Quote #1

Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul - nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything Picture Quote #1

Music has always been in my family, but it was mainly keyboards. I learned to play classical piano, but when I first heard the amazing bass guitar of James Jamerson, who played on all the big Motown hits of the 60s and 70s, I knew bass guitar was my instrument Picture Quote #1

My dad liked a lot of Motown, but I didn't listen to it until my teenage years Picture Quote #1

We came from the 60s era, when we started and made so many hits. The song value from the 60s was so darn good, you’ve got The Beatles, The Beach Boys, all of Motown, and plenty of other people, too... amazing records, amazing songs Picture Quote #1

I was really fortunate growing up to have a broad musical education. My parents listened to all kinds of music, rock, soul, Motown, jazz, Frank Sinatra, everything Picture Quote #1

One of my strongest memories is my father playing bongos in the living room in Detroit listening to Motown radio. He was this skinny white bald guy, but he was really moved by blues and Motown and funk Picture Quote #1

I was never really that interested in the punk movement. I was a blues guy: I liked Motown, James Brown Picture Quote #1

My parents brought me up on all different styles of music, like my Mum would listen to Motown R Picture Quote #1

Well, I had an after hours club in Vancouver and when any of the Motown acts would call Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection, so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house Picture Quote #1
