Featuring upbeat tracks like "Continental Strut" by Little Iva & Her Band and "Love Me" by Pete Hartfield, the playlist captures the infectious energy that characterized Motown's lively dancefloors.

The compilation also explores the range of emotional depth in tracks like Paula Greer's "I Want To Talk About You" and Herman Griffin's "True Love." "The Sound of Deep Motown" is a vibrant mix that not only traces the roots of one of music's most beloved eras but also celebrates the lesser-known gems that defined a generation.
