13 A Note from Berry Gordy

At Motown, we called ourselves a family and we were—a big family. While it is impossible to list here the many people who helped Motown with their love and passion, I personally want to thank them all. Their dedication and talent contributed to our success, as well as helped to inspire me to bring our story to Broadway. Motown was a dream that happened to come true, and it’s all because of you. Thank you. Berry Gordy Founder, Motown
