Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Released: 1971
Berry Gordy called it “the worst thing I ever heard.” Marvin Gaye went on strike until Motown released it — and soul music was never the same.
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
Released: 1976
Motown gave Stevie Wonder a $37 million contract and total creative control. He spent two years chasing perfection and delivered popular music’s most ambitious double album.
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Released: 2006
Ronson and the Dap-Kings cut six songs in five to seven days without Winehouse ever meeting the band. A delayed US visa then kept her from her own five-Grammy sweep.
Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
Released: 1971
Recorded mostly alone in a Bel Air attic on tape worn thin from overdubs, using a lounge drum machine after his own drummer quit, Sly Stone turned the wreckage of '60s optimism into a No. 1 album.
