                    [Title] => Bolton celebrates Motown
                    [Summary] => 

Michael Bolton mentioned three very special people in his note of thanks in the credits of his latest album. They are songwriter Nicholas Ashford and singers Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. They have all gone on to the Great Beyond, but while they were still on earth, they made beautiful music and were part of the soul explosion known today as the Motown Sound. It is only fitting that Bolton said “Thank you” to them because their music is what the album is all about.

He used his earnings from the song to establish his own record company in Detroit. And because he came from the then car capital of the world, he named his label, Motown, short for Motortown. It was the beginning of the rise of a melodic, danceable, infectious and more accessible kind of soul music in the hit charts of the world and the resurgence of black performers as pop idols.
