Perhaps the greatest exponent of the Motown sound that technically wasn't a Motown artist (yes, he did cut one session for the label) was laid out by J.J Barnes. J.J's records are some of the best- yet under appreciated- soul records of the 60's, although they have been cherished by soul fanatics since their release.

from 1963...
