Motown Founder Wants to Make Broadway Musical About His Life
The New York Post's sources say that Motown Records founder Berry Gordy is seeking to preserve his legacy by de...ay musical based on his life. The show, which Gordy is said to be working on in collaboration with former Universal Music CEO Doug Morris and Rentproducer Kevin McCollum, would be set during the civil rights movement of the 1960s and attempt to define the story of Motown's early days. Choose Rolling Stone's Cover: The Sheepdogs vs. Lelia Broussard. Vote Now! According to the Post, the musical would be a showcase for Motown's deep catalog of iconic hits and would likely involve direct participation from label mainstays Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson. Gordy owns the rights to a majority of the Motown catalog, though all licensing of the music is controlled by EMI.
I bet that this musical will gloss over real life and make it look like Motown was one big happy family. NGL, I wouldn't mind seeing it though. I hope this version will not skip H-D-H and the Funky Bros contributions to making Motown a commercial success.

You knew that Smokey was gonna be involved. Anything Motown related, Smokey is in there "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Smokey and Berry's relationship is way different than Berry's relationships with the REST of them. Hell he treated Smokey more like a brother than Marvin who was an actual brother-in-law. [Edited 5/23/11 21:19pm] | |
