When you talk about Motown, we do not just refer to important music but also to a remarkable legacy defined by hard work. There were so many obstacles that came on the way and Motown as we know it today was not a one-day success. Gordy did so much to bring different talents on the table, and those who liked his work brought others also. The success of Motown records was fueled by the support of his family that remained dedicated to helping him realize his dream. Motown defined new grounds for minorities and became a worldwide phenomenon that has come to be beloved by many.
