Document Summary
But unlike an instrument from classical music (which gets respect but is old, not current), jazz was very urban, very american, very current and an element of black culture: motown frequently put these gestures in its songs to, instrument: tambourine motown uses tambourines all the time in lend songs an air of sophistication order to emphasize upper frequency quality. While motown was focused on producing hits, stax was not interested in whether white or black they were interested in attracting an audience that liked soul music: focus is on the musical aspect of the performance and not the physical presentation of the artists, ex) otis is doing something that no motown artist would ever do he was sweating, our culture sees sweating as a bad thing b/c it seems there is a lack of control (things must not be going well).
