Three of Marvin Gaye's songs were political: "What's Goin' on", "Mercy, mercy me", and "This ain't livin' (Make want ta' holler)". Smokey Robinson sang "Abraham, Martin and John". Diana Ross and the Supremes sang "The Happening", but don't remember what 'happened'. Edwin Starr sang "War, what is it good for?", but I'm not sure he was with Motown. ----

Did dusty sringfield join Motown?

No, Dusty Springfield did not officially join Motown. While she was associated with the Motown sound and had a strong influence from the label's music, particularly in the 1960s, she remained with her own record label, Philips Records, and later signed with Atlantic Records. Her iconic songs, such as "Son of a Preacher Man," often reflected the soul influences typical of Motown, but she was never a part of the Motown roster.

I'm changing on Motown?

I'll try to answer what I assume you are requesting - The song title "I'm Changing" that was performed in the movie 'Dream Girls' was never a Motown song/recording. The movie is a loose fictionalization of The Supremes and none of the songs were Motown recordings. also see: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Changing
