In 1959 Berry
Gordy borrowed $800 from his family and started Hitsville U.S.A. which
lead to what the whole world would know as the Motown sound. The hits
and careers kept on coming introducing all of us to Marvin Gaye,
Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Gladys
Knight, etc., just part of a never ending list.
Tonight I am going to
the opening of the First National tour of the Broadway musical “Motown
The Musical” at the Broward Performing Arts Center here in Fort
Lauderdale. Imagine listening to 60 songs, songs that touched most of
our lives, in a show written by the founder Berry Gordy. Whether it is a
glimpse of the 4 Tops, the Jackson 5 or a full out the Commodores, I
know many memories of my past will come back unless I just forget all
that, sit back relax and just listen to good music because that is what
Motown brought us.
Have a favorite tune by one of the many
artists who made up the Motown sound? Let me know and I will let you
know if it is in the show.
