Music Monday! - Celebrating 50 Years of Motown!

On Jan. 12, 1959, the Gordy family loaned Berry Jr. $800 from the family fund so that he could start a record company. Fifteen years later, Motown Records had become the largest African-American-owned business in the United States, turning Detroit, Michigan upside down and launching musicians like Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson into mega music careers! Berry Gordy sold Motown in 1988 for $61 million but the legend lives on......

My picks for Music Monday this week include two Motown hits. "Come See About Me" by Diana Ross and The Supremes and "The love I Saw in You was Just a Mirage" by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.















Please Enjoy!
