Stevie wrote it, produced it, and played nearly every instrument in the studio recording. Released in 1972, “Superstition” blended funk, soul, and rock in a way few songs had before. #ClassicMotown #StevieWonder #Superstition #MotownLegacy #MusicHistory

For The Temptation’s 1969 hit, “Psychedelic Shack”, the legendary Funk Brothers laid down the rhythm section, with particularly wild guitar riffs and basslines that made this one of their most musically adventurous tracks to date. 🪩🎶 #Motown

Jr. Walker really said 🎷 let the sax do the talking. Released in 1969, “What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)” came with a smooth new vocal style and Walker stepping into ballad territory. The track became one of their biggest crossover hits and a slow jam classic.
