From the recording Motown Hitsville USA (A Cappella)
Lyrics
In the heart of Detroit, where soul takes flight,
Motown's rhythm, echoes pure delight.
From towering vocals, to infectious beats,
A symphony of music, will sweep your feet.
Motown Hitsville USA,
With melodies that dance, and never fades away.
From Smokey to Stevie, Supremes and Temptations,
Motown’s legacy, captivates the nations.
As the tambourine shakes, the horns are ablaze,
Creating that sound, as the funk brothers play.
The girl groups enchant, with harmonies so sweet,
Their songs are a timeless, musical treat.
Motown Hitsville USA,
With melodies that dance, and never fades away.
From Smokey to Stevie, Supremes and Temptations,
Motown’s legacy, captivates the nations.
Motown Hitsville USA,
With melodies that dance, and never fades away.
From Smokey to Stevie, Supremes and Temptations,
Motown's legacy, captivates the nations.
Through the ups and downs, the music stayed true,
Reflecting the struggles, and triumphs we knew.
With every note played, a story was told,
Of a love or a loss, and the power it holds.
Motown Hitsville USA,
With melodies that dance, and never fades away.
From Smokey to Stevie, Supremes and Temptations,
Motown’s legacy, captivates the nations.
The four-on-the-floor, makes a steady tune,
As Jamerson’s bass runs, the power of groove.
Drum fills and strings play, recording all the night,
Creating a sound both, soulful and bright.
In the annals of music, their place is secure,
Motown's legacy, forever endures.
Music for the people, a gift to everyone,
Gordy’s sound and music, remains number one.
Motown Hitsville USA,
With melodies that dance, and never fades away.
