When Motown Records founder Berry Gordy coined the phrase "The Sound Of Young America" in 1960, he did not know how successful Motown was going to be around the world. Motown arrived in Britain in 1964, but not on the Motown label but on London, Fontana and EMI's Stateside labels. Where Did Our Love Go by The Supremes, and My guy by Mary Wells were among the first big hits. By 1967, Motown had enough British hits under its belt to release a greatest hits album, the release was to be the first of the Motown Chartbusters series.Although the series was made up mainly of hit singles, there were some not so big. But that was not important, it just expanded the Motown Sound even more.
