Motown was really, it was America's introduction to soul music.
It was America's introduction to soul music.
And soul music is powerful.
Soul music makes you believe.
Soul music gives you hope in the way that you feel.
In the way that you want to feel, you know.
And that's what was coming out of the sounds I heard these men making as a child.
It gave me unconscious hope.
I didn't know why.
You know, it gave my father hope.
So for years and years, players and producers have been trying to
find that magic Motown sound in pocket
as if it's some sort of a formula.
People would always say everything but to musicians.
They would say it was the artists, the producers,
the way the building was structured, or the wood in the floor,
or maybe even food.

and throw it down in that studio, shut the door, and count off 1, 2, 3, 4,

The formula was the musicians.
I'll be Earl Vanday.
Let me give you an example.
We're going to take Ain't Too Proud to Bed, which I think everybody's familiar with.
All right, Earl, give it to me.
You're in picture.
