@@tyrae7113 I worked in the entertainment industry for 35 years, successfully, specifically MUSIC so I KNOW the history, trust me. Black folks are instrumental to the foundation of modern music, no question about it, but others contributed as well. And yes, Elvis and many others admitted that they "stole" from black entertainers.

Stevie’s gift comes straight from the heavens. Makes no sense how this man can still sound so amazing after all this time.

Andra Day is fabulous!!

It was such a confluence of serendipitous good fortune with Berry Gordy 's will and wisdom and being in a city with so much talent like Smokey, Diana, Marvin etc. And knowing how to get the best from such a wide variety of mercurial and brilliant artists... and we are all the better for it

COVID obviously put a damper on this celebration. Oprah couldn't afford to fly in on her private jet? Diana Ross often says her career would not have been possible without Gordy, who is the father of her child ...etc., etc., etc... Given the long line of artists who have expressed worldwide excitement and adulation for Motown, you have wonder why none showed up.

Where is Diana?????????

This is true throughout the world. South Korea's KPop is straight from Black America!!! I watched a video of Punjabi rapping in India. This is why June in America is Black Music Month from HipHop, Jazz, Blues, R&B, Gospel, Soul, Country, Disco, etc. Latin music is flavored from the Motherland. Black music is the reason the U.S. is #1 musically. Foreign artists dream is to make it in America. These are the facts.

BLACK FOLKS .. we just are awesome

Wouaa superbe !

How can you honor Gordy without mentioning Tammi Terrell The Four Tops Gladys Knight and the Pip's The O"Jays and The Dells This Man made the careers of many many great entertainers Who weren't a one hot wonder Gordy started as a child with a vision that he brought to life Gordy created entertainers that gave the world an experience that no one had ever experienced before The Man is a genius Gordy should have been the only honoree on this night

7:13 she played in the Broadway version of Dreamgirls!!

Awesome performance by Stevie. Not sure why they didn't have a Temptations/Supremes medley with the people at the top. The performance in the middle is meh. Would have been better to have her sing Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Billie Holliday deserves her own show. And why or why didn't Smokey sing!?!?
