Various Artists - Baby I've Got It: More Motown Girls / Various (CD) - CD

Details: UK collection. Many moons have passed since our last Motown Girls project was released - but these things take time and a great deal of patience. We're confident followers of the series will find this new volume well worth the wait. The collection opens with 'In My Heart I Know It's Right', the first song Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded for Motown, and closes with the great Kim Weston in torch singer mode. In between you'll find some of the company's biggest stars - the Marvelettes, Brenda Holloway, Martha & the Vandellas - alongside lesser-known collector's favorites such as Liz Lands and LaBrenda Ben. Of the 24 tracks here on "Baby I've Got It!", 14 are previously unissued in any format and 10 were first made available as "Motown Unreleased" downloads between 2014 and 2017. The selections were recorded between 1961 and 1969, and - although predominantly uptempo, which should please most Motown fans - represent several variations of the Motown sound.
