Wikipedia / Motown Remixed

Motown Remixed is a 2005 compilation album containing remixed versions of Motown hits, released on May 24, 2005 by Motown/Universal Records.

Several hip hop and dance producers, including Z-Trip, DJ Jazzy Jeff, the Randy Watson Experience, Salaam Remi, Groove Boutique ( DJ Rafe Gomez and David Baron), and Easy Mo Bee, took hit records by the Jackson 5, the Temptations, the Supremes, and others, and re-imagined them in new styles. The Jackson 5's "ABC", for example, is re-imagined by Salaam Remi as a crunk song, Smokey Robinson's Quiet Storm is presented by Groove Boutique as a lush, chilled out jazzy jam, and Tranzition takes the Supremes' up-tempo "My World is Empty Without You" and transforms it into a ballad.

The iTunes Music Store version has several additional remixes in the album. Furthermore, the UK, European and Australian releases each have a few remixes that were not included on the US edition and are marked with an asterisk [*] below. An accompanying compilation, Motown Unmixed, features each track in its original version.

In 2007, a follow-up album Motown Remixed, Volume 2 was released.

Also in 2011, the second follow-up album, re-titled Love Motown Remixed, actually Motown Remixed Volume 3, was released only in Japan featuring 12 local remixes. Unlike the designs for the covers of volume 1 and 2, volume 3's cover features the logo "Love Motown Remixed" and a picture of Michael Jackson underneath the blue sky, throwing his jacket in right hand.
