Event Details
Berry Gordy wrote the Jackie Wilson hit Lonely Teardrops, but barely made any money. So, he started his own record company named Motown. The label played an important role in the racial integration of popular music achieving crossover success. Motown would launch the careers of Diana Ross and the Supremes, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson Five. This program includes classic video of the early years of Motown music.
