Motown Overseas
Saturday, 05/26/12 8pm
From the early to mid 1960's Berry Gordy's Motown Record Company grew to be a major player in the world of contemporary popular music. With this success, Gordy envisioned his "Sound Of Young America" as a major force in international markets, and with that in mind, he had his top recording artists re-record a number of their domestic hit singles in foreign languages for distribution overseas. This week Joel Najman's My Place program presents a collection of rarely heard recordings by the Supremes, Four Tops, Stevie Wonder and others singing phonetically in Spanish, Italian and French.
