“Baby Love” hit the world on this day Sept 17th 1964, and the rest is chart history! Their second straight No. 1 single, written and produced by Holland–Dozier–Holland, it cemented the group’s place in Motown history and the hearts of fans worldwide. 💕

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.

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

#OnThisDayInHistory: The Jackson 5 walk through the doors of Motown for a life-changing audition. Among the songs they perform? An explosive, soulful take on The Miracle’s “Who’s Lovin’ You.” One year later, they brought that same song to their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, 🎙️✨

These B-sides proved too good to be background noise. What’s one Classic Motown track you think deserves more love? #ClassicMotown #MarvinGaye #StevieWonder #DianaRoss #TheSupremes #MarthaAndTheVandellas #FourTops

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
