Growing up in the City of Detroit during the early sixties was a memorable era for music. It was a period of time whereby the unique sounding records of Motown were being played and heard throughout the streets, nightclubs, house parties and radio stations everywhere. It was common to have the soulful R and B records playing on the jukeboxes while people have been dancing in the streets or singing in the beauty parlors and barber shops to the emotional songs that eventually captivated the hearts and minds of millions of folks around the whole world. Music cds and Hip Hop music were not heard of during that period, it was all about the vinyl records and rhythm and blues soul.
The songs that have been designed by Motown singers during the 60s & 70s had so much meaning and expression. They were songs that spoke about true unchained love, breaking events and the heartache and pains of life experiences. Oh yes, Motown really had it going on! Their music became universal music. Many of the soulful tunes crossed over into other markets such as pop, jazz, blues, etc But just like George Benson said in one of his recordings Everything Must Change, and sure enough, he was right about the music.
After giving so many years service and great music to the City of Detroit, Motown moved out and Rap/Hip Hop moved in. Instead of hearing someone singing My Baby Loves Me or My Girl, you started to encounter new sounding lyrics of raw and rough street experience expressed in rhythms and rhymes with the mouth, chest, hands and feet as such had never been heard before.
This new tune called Rap developed in the early 80s and skyrocketed in the late 90s and New Millennium as Hip Hop/Rap. Today Rap/Hip Hop music has become a multi billion dollar industry. Millions of cds and videos are sold each year in the Hip Hop genre of music. And there is no sign that Hip Hop will be slowing down or taking a back seat to anyone anytime soon.
So what happened to the Motown sound. did it die out? No! The Motown sound will never vanish or even die out. It will always continue to play an important part in the hearts of millions who loved and admired its sound back in the early 60s, and continued to pass that sound on to their children throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Sometimes you just have to move over and let the new kids on the block have a turn in expressing their musical talents, songs and ideas. That is what Motown did, it moved over-not out. And now the Hip Hop artists are not the new kids on the block anymore, for they have taken their position to express themselves musically, just like the rhythm and blues artists took their position o express themselves in the Motown era.
