"I've spent the last two days apologizing to a lot of my guests, cause once the band came on, I never left the dance floor." - Booked the band for a joint 50/18th birthday party & all my daughters friends have not stopped talking about what a great night they all had. The band did a couple of sets and once the first note was played the dance floor just filled up. I've spent the last two days apologizing to a lot of my guests, cause once the band came on, I never left the dance floor.  If your in to live soul music and I mean LIVE !!!!! this is the band for you. The whole band just love to entertain and made all our guests feel very special. Book them now before everybody else finds out about them, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thanks again for making our birthday party so special. Kevin & Nicola

Gordy founded a second label, Motown Records, in September 1959. The first Motown release was the Miracles' "Bad Girl". Among early Tamla/Motown artists were Mable John, Barrett Strong and Mary Wells. Tamla's first release was Marv Johnson's "Come to Me" in 1959. Its first hit was Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I Want)" (1959), which made it to #2 on the Billboard R&B charts; its first #1 R&B hit was "Shop Around" by the Miracles in 1960. "Shop Around" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and was Motown's first million-selling record. On April 4, 1960, Motown Records and Tamla Records became incorporated as Motown Record Corporation. A year later, The Marvelettes scored Tamla's first US #1 pop hit, "Please Mr. Postman." By the mid-1960s, the label, with the help of songwriters and producers such as Robinson, A&R chief William "Mickey" Stevenson, Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Norman Whitfield, was a major force in the music industry.
