Jasmine 0218 - Various Artists - Motor City Roots - A Family Affair 2 X CD (2013) - Rare R&B/Soul (FLAC)

A Family Affair' Follows on from the previous review of Barrett Strong and the roots of detroit soul. In this volume we focus on the labels owned by Berry Gordy's sister, Gwen, and as you would expect this is once again a feast of early 60s soul! Features the first recordings from the soon to be famous Motown stars, The Spinners, Junior Walker, Lamont Dozier, David Ruffin and Johnny Bristol. Hear history in the making as the roots of Motown take shape with many recordings on CD for the first time. Essential for Detroit lovers!
