Sweatin’ to the Oldies
This year marks Motown Records’ 50th anniversary, and the Detroit Free Press is making 50 short videos to mark the occasion. Motown is also producing a series of podcasts to be rolled out gradually over the year. The first one, a new interview with Smokey Robinson, is pretty standard stuff. The second one, however, is a real gem of an archival interview with Berry Gordy from the summer of 1963. Interesting to hear Gordy sounding so young and talking about what was then a small, family-owned business. (both via the Soulful Detroit forums)
