@@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.

Wow Stevie Wonder's Song My Cherie Amour Brings Back So Many Wonderful Memories of My First Elementary School Crush. Mr. Wonder Brought Me To Tears Thinking about My Mom. Mrs. Evelyn I Miss You so Much 😢😢😢
I can't say Enough Thank You AWESOME BLACK AMERICANS MUSIC... that's how I learned to move to music and able to understand English... jip I am German I love Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Little Richie, The Supreme You Freaken Awesome I SALUTE YOU 🎉❤ THANK YOU TINA TURNER... YOU ARE AWESOME
@@anitramiller9626❤I think, he, us, need your music, I hope Stevie Keep on singing and writing, and playing. Steve Wonder is alive, it's a good luck for all. Just are great, that simple. This bio, this film, this documentary, yes I think one good documentary. Thanks
Berry Gordy was/is a genius. His Motown was one of the greatest creative hit producers in history. Those songs still set feet to dancing and hearts to racing.
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
GREAT MUSIC, PHENOMENAL ARTISTS, UNDENIABLY TALENTED, CREATIVE , INDUSTRIOUS AMERICANS. THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THEM. And, without MR. GORDY, we may never have been blessed with these wonderful artists.
That arrangement of God Bless The Child gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I have been looking for this video for over a year now since it got removed from YT. Thank you CC for posting this, Andra Day is a fabulous and wonderful singer.
THIS IS THE HISTORICAL MUSIC EVENT. THAT I MOSTLY WANTED TO SEE IN 2022. THIS TELEVISION SPECIAL WAS ....... THE ONLY TIME I TURNED ON MY TELEVISION. THAT. YEAR. ...THE. REASON...................... ......*** BERRY GORDY. JR..
Wow Motown, as my teen life years I was getting the 45 records every week, or on the radio. Even today as a guy in my late 60s the songs still make me get up and move my body. Well not the same as then but still feels like I am the kid, I was back then in the 1070s
September 9th 2024 I'm keep watching this historic video about music history. Thank you Berry Gordy for making such we could enjoy musical talents. 👏🏽🇨🇦
This was all amazing. But, it was astounding to me how this Supremes and Temptations medley had both lookalike and soundalike singers for that performance. It's probably actually a roadshow somewhere. But, even still....
This is America at its best! So sad that so many don't know and may never know because of the insidious, wrongful teachings, and idiocy passed on to so many. Be human first: and everything may change. Peace!
I wish the "temptatiions" would have grasped how clean their movements was. Gordy was all about precision with them and their movements. I have watched this 3 times and i just love it everytime i watch
Christmas is near friends, let's invite everybody enjoy such gifts tips for the beloved ones, no time for bad times only having big big fun together, no time for hatred and sadness, only singing along good old songs together, big loving hug all black gorgeous friends, eternal gratitude artists that made of our lives a better place, you can bet on it guys, you have a super special place in our hearts for. ..a real long time, reminds me the very first time I went on a disco club dancing, yeah, it was such a big fun, unforgettable, let's get back that beautiful feeling indeed❤🎉❤
The imitation acts were weak, but Stevie was the real deal. (The fake Temps and Supremes changed the speed and pitch of the songs, and the dance moves weren't exactly the same) ... the guys in the Temptation movie did it better.
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
Black Americans gave this country so much good music. Hell gave the world good music. We are so gifted
We are the BEST ever history has proven that.....
All races of people gave this world GREAT music!

Motown Records & Berry Gordy Jr.! Black Music legends.
The brilliance of Motown has travelled all the way across the Pacific Ocean to Australia. I fell in love with The Supremes when I was 12
Andra Day is fabulous!!
Grew up 50 mins from Motown. A white kid that loved the Motown sound and those great artists. So many had a hold on me.. Thank you Barry....
Stevie’s music is timeless. Still sounds good.
I cannot express how much this man means to this world, to America, to my heart. He is a miracle. A force.
He was an absolute genius of a man love Motown such soul
Um, he's not dead.
And the amazing Smokey Robinson
Motown was my favorite from the start...grew up with all this wonderful music. Thank you Mr. Gordy!!❤❤❤

Has Stevie received a Kennedy Center Honor yet?? He is MORE than deserving!!! ☝️

Motown yesterday today forever --- Says it all
AMEN 🙏🙏.. 🎶🎶.
The Billie Holiday part makes me cry amazing..
My kids ask me why I have music from this era, its timeless thats why. One listen and they agree.
That arrangement of God Bless The Child gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I have been looking for this video for over a year now since it got removed from YT. Thank you CC for posting this, Andra Day is a fabulous and wonderful singer.
OMG just love that Motown sound!!! Thank you Berry👍🏻💖
I love their retro looks and style. I wish i can see artist like this more.
Motown is a gift of God to the world. "Without music, our lives is nothing".
Andra Day reminds me of Ms. Eartha Kitt... 😻 purr💝💯☑️🙌🏾👍🏾👏🏽💐😅
Absolutely 💯. I bet she could do a great rendition of Santa Baby...
She is way and way better than Eartha Kitt! I hear something of Rihanna but in the lows notes.
THIS IS THE HISTORICAL MUSIC EVENT. THAT I MOSTLY WANTED TO SEE IN 2022. THIS TELEVISION SPECIAL WAS ....... THE ONLY TIME I TURNED ON MY TELEVISION. THAT. YEAR. ...THE. REASON...................... ......*** BERRY GORDY. JR..

Its amazing how wonderfully the power of music gets through even the demented mind
I’m so proud of the tribute from Ain’t Too Proud. This was a big deal.

I'm keep watching this historic video about music history. Thank you Berry Gordy for making such we could enjoy musical talents. 👏🏽🇨🇦
Just went to see the play and it's wonderful. Worth every penny of your money. !!
Mr. President i certainly did not know you are a fan of black music very well done
It’s American music
Wth you're saying anything smh smh
@@charronrose68 What are you talking about?
SO PROUD of the Woman in the Red Dress!!!
Yes. She set it off👏🏽💐💯💯🙌🏾💝😅💃
If I’m not mistaken that’s Norah O’Donnell from CBS!
Women were so classy back then
Yep
Thank you so much for posting 🙏 Truly talented artists that were dignified and elegant performing magic on stage ❤️
Excelso, insuperable, inigualable Stevie Wonder

beautiful performance and great choreography.
Motown music is timeless. Till this day motown is adverts and sampled
Wow,S Wonder, s wonderful👍👍👍👍👍👍😁💯
Wow, Stevie Wonder the only one of all the Motown acts to perform. I know, some are dead, but a lot are still around.🎉
Many are really really old
Love you Mr.Gordy ❤❤❤❤❤
Berry Gordy. Legend. ICON.
Fantastic singing and dancing in Ain't Too Proud to Beg..that is stamina!!
This was all amazing. But, it was astounding to me how this Supremes and Temptations medley had both lookalike and soundalike singers for that performance. It's probably actually a roadshow somewhere. But, even still....
I guess Diana Ross was busy. She only owes her entire career to him, and oh yes, They had a child together.
God’s Children doing what we do even as they have tried to 🛑 us they know we belong to The Most High. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
Motown is magic music that can take you from depressed to joyful gaster that anything or anyone fast!
I’m so proud to be an American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
WONDERFUL JUST WONDERFUL!
Oh my Stevie Wonder live is like a kiss from the Muse
True meaning of the word" icon"
Stevie stole the show and Andrea day
What's that old saying "Often imitated, but Never duplicated" That is why I Love my people.
It's Nothing Like.. MoTown 🎶🎶.

I wish the "temptatiions" would have grasped how clean their movements was. Gordy was all about precision with them and their movements. I have watched this 3 times and i just love it everytime i watch
If Michaël Jackson was there it would be an amazing show
Not only good music, Our ancestors boken their backs for America.
Magnifique 👍

Andra day sheeeeeesh ❤❤❤❤🤯🤯🤯
It was so sad to see Berry Gordy with a mask - one of the things I love about him is his smile and laugh :) xx
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
Luv this
Wow that guy group is just wow
Yesssss!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Diana was more graceful and feminine
