Release Notes:

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Motown-Singles-Vol-1965/

Far from losing momentum in the wake of their massive mass-market
breakthrough in 1964, Motown continued to build upon strengths in
1965 as the six-disc box The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 5: 1965
illustrates. The Supremes, the Temptations, and the Four Tops all
turned into stars in 1964, but in 1965 they entrenched themselves
into the white mainstream, with the Supremes even appearing on the
cover of Time magazine. The Supremes were everywhere in 1965,
acting as the face of Motown, racking up chart-toppers with "Stop!
in the Name of Love," "Back in My Arms Again," "Nothing But
Heartaches," "I Hear a Symphony," and "My World Is Empty Without
You," each one a piece of pop-soul so elegant it seemed effortless
-- and with enough elegance to get the group a headlining spot at
the Copacabana that year. So powerful and perfect was this blend
of pop style and rhythmic R&B that it became the dominant sound of
Motown, with Brenda Holloway (who had the wonderful "When I'm
Gone") and many of the new acts -- the Elgins, Chris Clark,
Barbara McNair, Tammi Terrell -- working this sound, fueled by the
house band of the Funk Brothers and often written and produced by
Holland-Dozier-Holland.

The formula may have been flourishing, but it's not quite right to
say that it was the only sound at Motown in 1965 -- the label was
too magnificent and monumental for that. There were still
lingering echoes of the label's earlier, grittier R&B, not to
mention the oddities that Berry Gordy's various subsidiaries
released. It's a bit of a shock to realize that as late as 1965
not only did Howard Crockett still pop up on Mel-o-Dee, but Dee
Mullins showed up with lean, driving country straight out of
Bakersfield, as if Gordy gave the country market one last hurrah
by serving up a Buck Owens soundalike. These forays outside of R&B
aren't that common, as the other active subsidiaries pursued jazz,
but this is funky, groove-oriented jazz that fits well alongside
the other Motown sides here (especially when it's Earl Van Dyke &
the Soul Brothers grinding out instrumental versions of the
label's earlier hits), particularly the pile-driving Junior Walker
& the All-Stars singles here, highlighted by their breakthrough,
"Shotgun."

As thrilling as the Junior Walker & the All-Stars singles still
are, the harder edge of that group and longstanding Motown staples
the Contours -- whose "First I Look at the Purse" is as good and
funky as Motown ever got -- feels a bit like the remnants of the
label's early years, as Motown's music began to get smooth and
stylish around this time. Some earlier acts like Smokey Robinson,
Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder were able to negotiate this
transition by deepening their own signatures with grace, often
producing big hits while doing so: this year, Marvin had the
irresistible, irrepressible "Ain't That Peculiar," which Smokey &
the Miracles matched with "Going to a Go-Go," but they also had
the silky "Ooo Baby Baby" and "The Tracks of My Tears." Martha &
the Vandellas also had a hallmark year highlighted by "Nowhere to
Run," perfectly balanced between the harder edge of the early
Motown singles and the style of this era, a claim that also held
for the Temptations and, especially, the Four Tops, whose two big
hits were "It's the Same Old Song" and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar
Pie, Honey Bunch)." These are the songs that dominate The Complete
Motown Singles, Vol. 5 just as they dominated 1965 -- there are
lost gems here, but not as many as you might think, as almost
everything the label released in this glorious year turned into a
big hit.
