Members okieman Posted June 19, 2013 Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 How many Motown classics are written in three-quarter time?I tried Googling this and came up with nothing. Found one vaguely interesting comment that it must have been difficult to write that style in three quarter, but no explanation as to exactly why.

Members rsadasiv Posted June 19, 2013 Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 There are a ton of good Motown songs but the only ones I can think of are in 4/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members okieman Posted June 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 The blue2blue quote is (pun intended) 2 droll. "... in a certain sense, vaguely amusing" sounds like something a world-weary Brit would say. Maybe Jagger. But not Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero.As an interesting side note, I once heard from a bass player I know that reggae started as an attempt by Jamaican musicians to imitate the Motown beat...How many reggae songs are in 3/4 time?
