Happy Birthday, Berry Gordy Jr.! (en.wikipedia.org)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/8865681

94 years old today! Record executive, producer, songwriter, film and television producer, the founder of an enormous and integral part of not only Detroit history but of modern pop music.

I personally can't imagine a world without Tamla/Motown Records, without The Miracles, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Martha and The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5โ€ฆoh, the list goes on and on, all that wonderful music originating from that little house at 2648 W. Grand Blvd.

A most warm and Happy Birthday to veteran, ex-auto worker, ex-boxer and King of Hitsville, USA, Mr Berry Gordy Jr.!

Bonus Music Geek link: Can We Recreate The Motown Sound? -- reverb.com's Will Kurk and Joe Shadid present a short super-technical history and analysis of the Motown Sound plus their recreation challenge. It's absolutely amazing that huge sound came out of that tiny room!
