Musicology and Musical Analysis

In recent years there has been a marked resurgence of interest in early Motown songs, many of which have received widespread exposure via successful films such as The Big Chill, My Girl, The Commitments, Father of The Bride and Sister Act . The steady flow of CD re-releases and contemporary ‘covers’ further attests to the continuing appeal and relevance of the music.
