opening up a argument about the validity of what is staying rooted and what is not and when you are dealing with a major record company and it is a business expectations, hit material and radio friendly tracks things have to be there for it to be successful.

Motown is the still the Greatest Record company ever to me and they were very successful and accessible, but the songs were there that is the bottom line, you can still groove and enjoy those songs.

Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, the four tops, Marvin gaye, Rick James, didn't have Long careers just because they crossed over, they had strong material that the public enjoyed and those songs still hold up

smooth Jazz connects because again it is the material speaking to a certain audience.

unlike now where everybody can be couch critic and listen to this or that, back then you either felt the songs or you was working a 9 to 5.
