In Motown's early days, Berry Gordy's "Sound Of Young America" crossed racial lines and quickly became a part of America's cultural identity. Starting with 1961's "Please Mr. Postman" and "Shop Around" (by The Marvelettes and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles respectively), Motown quickly became a major presence at the top of the charts. Throughout the '60s, talent flowed from the Motown studios whether it was in the form of artists (Gladys Knight, The Temptations, The Supremes) or songwriters (Holland-Dozier-Holland, Whitfield-Strong). Gordy's knack for finding musical gold took him through the '70s (Jackson 5, The Commodores), the '80s (Rick James, Dazz Band) and into the '90s (Shanice, Boyz II Men).
