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.

    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
