Detroit, 1963. Mientras las cadenas de montaje de Ford fabrican coches a un ritmo imposible, tres jóvenes están construyendo otra máquina de precisión. Se llaman Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier y Eddie Holland. Entre 1963 y 1967 escriben algunos de los mayores éxitos de las Supremes, los Four Tops, Marvin Gaye o Martha and the Vandellas. Canciones perfectas: panderetas urgentes, bajos melódicos, cuerdas ambiciosas y estribillos que parecen haber existido siempre. Pero detrás de aquellas canciones había una pregunta. ¿Podía la música creada por artistas negros conquistar la radio blanca sin renunciar a su identidad? Berry Gordy creyó que sí. Holland-Dozier-Holland encontraron la fórmula. En este episodio recorremos la historia de Holland-Dozier-Holland, el motor creativo del sonido Motown, y de una música que más de sesenta años después no ha envejecido. Playlist: – (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave, Martha and the Vandellas; – Please Mr. Postman, The Marvelettes; – Where Did Our Love Go, The Supremes; – I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch), Four Tops; – Baby Love, The Supremes; – How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You), Marvin Gaye; – Baby I Need Your Loving, Four Tops; – Reach Out I'll Be There, Four Tops; – Stop! In the Name of Love, The Supremes; – A change is gona come, Sam Cooke; – Mississippi Goddam, Nina Simone; – People get ready, The Impressions; – This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You), Isley Brothers; – Nowhere To Run, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas; – Little Darling, Marvin Gaye; – The Happening, The Supremes; – Bernadette, Four Tops. Todas las canciones son de Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier y Eddie Holland excepto A change is gona come (Sam Cooke), Mississippi Goddam (Nina Simone) y People get ready (Curtis Mayfield).

Cette semaine dans la chronique "One Hit Wonder" du #LeDriveRTL2, Margaux Lassalle s'intéresse à la carrière éclair de Rockwell et à son tube paranoïaque incontournable, "Somebody's Watching Me". De son vrai nom Kennedy William Gordy, le chanteur né à Détroit en 1964 n'est autre que le fils de Berry Gordy, le célèbre fondateur du label Motown. Soucieux d'éviter toute accusation de népotisme, il tient à prouver sa valeur et signe son premier contrat en toute indépendance, sans l'aide de son père. Un pari doublement gagnant puisqu'en 1984, il explose mondialement avec "Somebody's Watching Me". Ce hit absolu, qui a traversé les décennies, bénéficie d'ailleurs d'un atout magique : un refrain mémorable chanté par son ami d'enfance, un certain Michael Jackson (accompagné de Jermaine Jackson dans les chœurs) ! Si ce premier album éponyme contient d'autres morceaux remarqués comme "Obscene Phone Caller" ou la ballade "Knife", la suite s'avère beaucoup plus compliquée. Dès 1985, son deuxième disque *Captured* (porté par le single "Peeping Tom") peine à convaincre, tout comme son troisième et dernier album *The Genie* en 1986. Face à ces échecs commerciaux, son label met fin à son contrat. Avec une carrière fulgurante condensée sur à peine trois ans, Rockwell disparaît peu à peu du devant de la scène, incarnant aujourd'hui l'exemple parfait du "One Hit Wonder".Hébergé par Audiomeans.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastBefore the moonwalk. Before the glove. Before Neverland, before the tabloids, before the world decided it knew exactly who Michael Jackson was — there was a kid in Gary, Indiana who wasn't allowed to touch his father's guitar.Most people know the legend. Few know the price.Michael Jackson didn't have a childhood. He had rehearsals. He had a belt across the chair and a father who saw dollar signs where other dads saw sons. By the time he was eight years old he was performing in nightclubs, watching the adult world at its worst, and being told that was normal. It wasn't normal. None of it was.And yet — out of all of that — came Thriller. The moonwalk. Four consecutive number one singles before he was twelve. A catalog worth billions. A chimp in a matching outfit eating dinner at the table.But also Neverland. Also the allegations. Also a death that still doesn't sit right.This week we start at the beginning — Gary, Indiana, Joe Jackson, the Apollo Theater, Motown, Quincy Jones, and the private world Michael built when he finally had enough money to build whatever he wanted. We get into the stuff most people don't know, the stuff that actually explains everything, and we set the table for what's coming in Part 2.And trust us — Part 2 gets dark.Timestamps:00:00 — Intro, Patreon shoutouts & gas prices somehow leading to Michael Jackson04:00 — Why we're covering MJ now & our bias going in (we love him, sue us)07:00 — Gary, Indiana: the two-bedroom house, 11 people, and Joe Jackson11:00 — Joe discovers the boys' talent & the rehearsals begin — belt on the chair13:00 — Michael describes the abuse & why the sight of his father made him physically ill15:00 — "Big Nose" — the nickname that quietly explains everything about his face16:00 — The Jackson 5 is born & Michael joins at six years old18:00 — Winning the Apollo, Gladys Knight, Berry Gordy & the Motown signing19:00 — Diana Ross "presents" them — the marketing ploy that worked perfectly20:00 — Four consecutive number ones straight out the gate, Jacksonmania hits22:00 — Growing up backstage in nightclubs — what Michael saw at age 7 and 823:00 — His Grammy speech: "My childhood was taken away from me"25:00 — Was it worth it?

If you weren't alive to know, or old enough to comprehend, how massively popular Michael Jackson was in the 80s, just picture the biggest music star today and times it by five, at least. This week's movie, “Michael”, tries to give you an idea about how big he was, but you really had to be there to know. This movie shines a bright light on the turbulent childhood the Jackson boys, particularly Michael, went through at the hands of their self-absorbed, tyrannical father, Joe Jackson. Joe created the Jackson 5, with Michael as the lead singer, and got them into the sights of Motown. That primarily got Michael made as the next megastar by Berry Gordy at Motown and Quincy Jones. Still in the background was Michael's familial struggle with his father trying to rule his life with an iron fist and knowing his grip is slipping. Michael fights to be his own man and achieve his own dreams all while being the biggest music star of all time. Is it worth going to see this biopic at the theater? Check out Movies Merica to find out! “Michael” stars Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, Juliano Valdi, Liv Symone, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, John Rabe, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Kendrick Sampson, Michael Andrew Baker and Zach Kenney. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Today on WKXL's NH Unscripted we are taking a more in depth look at the history of Motown, the artists, the music, and chart topping stories surrounding them! (Kudos to the YT channel "Groove Lens" for the transcript I used). Some of the greatest Motown hits almost never happened. Here's the crazy story along with the songs that were massive hits, but, almost weren't. Think: Ain't Too Proud to Beg, I Heard it Through the Grapevine", "Tears of a Clown", just for starters!

Public Enemy’s iconic Professor Griff returns to our classroom, unveiling the groundbreaking influence of A.I. on the music industry. Learn how artificial intelligence is transforming the way hits are made, and what this innovation means for artists and fans alike. Our lineup continues to impress: Kerry Gordy, son of the legendary Motown founder Berry Gordy, shares rare insights on the new Michael Jackson movie, "Michael," giving you a behind-the-scenes perspective you won’t find anywhere else. Mark from Anaheim brings history to life with a compelling reflection on the 1992 civil uprising—a defining moment where 63 lives were lost and over a billion dollars in property was damaged, changing our community forever. Kicking off the show, former NY Lawmaker Charles Barron delivers a vital warning about a scam preying on seniors and threatening the security of their homes.

The King of Pop finally gets the biopic treatment… but does it live up to the legend? In this episode, TeaRon breaks down MICHAEL, the long-awaited film centered on the life of Michael Jackson. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and backed by the Jackson family, the film introduces Jaafar Jackson in a striking portrayal of his iconic uncle. With a stacked cast including Colman Domingo, Nia Long, and more, the film delivers stunning recreations of Michael's most legendary performances from his early days in Gary, Indiana to the rise of the The Jackson 5 under Berry Gordy. But while the visuals and nostalgia hit, the storytelling struggles. Rushed pacing, surface-level moments, and a noticeable lack of emotional depth leave the film feeling more like a highlight reel than a true character study. For a figure as complex and influential as Michael Jackson, the film plays it safe, avoiding the deeper layers many fans were hoping to finally see. TeaRon dives into what works, what doesn't, and whether this biopic truly captures the man behind the legend or just the myth.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Follow Us:IG: @tearonworld / @bkwitda4fa4TT: @tearon__ / @bkgostupidFB: facebook.com/UbiquitousBlacksTHRD: @ubiquitousblacks–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––About UBIQUITOUS BLACKS REVIEWS:'Ubiquitous Blacks Reviews' is an extension of the Ubiquitous Blacks Podcast where TeaRon (IG: @tearonworld) reviews the latest in Black Movies, TV Shows, and more.

Marvin Gaye's I Want You could be one of his greatest albums, and he didn't even write it. Producer Leon Ware wrote most of the songs for himself. Marvin Gaye was only supposed to record the title track. But he heard Leon playing a demo of the album one night and stayed up listening until morning. The next day, he asked Ware if he could have the whole thing.In this episode, Peter and Adam break down why the title track, "I Want You", might be one of his best songs, and whether the rest of the album can possibly live up to it.This episode was recorded before the passing of James Gadson (June 17, 1939 – April 2, 2026), the drummer on I Want You. Gadson was one of the defining session drummers of 1970s soul. He was the drummer behind "Lean On Me," "I Will Survive," "Express Yourself", and the groove that powers this very album.

Host Ede is back with another installment of the all-Benchwarmers series, and things get weird fast. We've got Snyder and Luks facing off against Markkus and Dave in a battle of wits (and questionable meat products). In this episode, we took a Deli Meat Deep Dive to investigate the legends of "Natural Ham" and "John Roast Beef." We envisioned hockey legend Berry Gordy, and got unexpectedly emotional about birthmark stories. We experienced the Spouse Takeover, where Ede got lazy and asked his wife to write an entire quarter of the game (OK, fine it was halftime). We imagined the Biopic Nobody Asked For, in which David Spade is destined to play Kurt Cobain. In the 3rd quarter, we experienced a Pop Culture Collision, as Dave identified our "Bad Bunny/Courtney Love" moment. Finally, during the "In Memoriam" 4th quarter: A somber (but hilarious) tribute, featuring a flurry of timely imitations from Markkus. #stuholtz #draftbusts #hiddenhockeyquestions #slowjohnson #quintoncoples #yamonfigurs #witharebelyelledewantsmooremooremoore   https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

My guest today is Kerry Gordy, a name woven into the fabric of modern music and a force in his own right at the intersection of brand, culture, and intellectual property. Yes, he's the son of Berry Gordy, but Kerry's career stands on its own merit. He grew up inside the Motown ecosystem, managed Rick James through his comeback years, played a pivotal executive role at Prince's Paisley Park Records, and helped architect one of the most important independent moments in music history with The Most Beautiful Girl in the World. Beyond music, Kerry has become a leading advocate for artists' rights, pioneering copyright termination strategies that have helped creators reclaim ownership and long-term value. I met Kerry years ago when we were both speaking at Harvard, and from that moment on we've been brothers. This conversation is a rare blend of history, hard-earned lessons, and real-world insight into how brands, artists, and legacies are actually built.

On this Christmas Eve episode, the hosts dive into Lady Sings the Blues (1972), the biographical drama inspired by the life of jazz icon Billie Holiday and starring Diana Ross in her film debut. The ladies discuss the film's portrayal of artistry, trauma, addiction, love, and the ways both the music industry and the justice system shaped her life. The movie reminded the ladies that music makes us feel something, and our hosts gave a glimpse into their holiday feels with their own Top 10 facorite Christmas song "soundtrack". The contrast between their lists adds humor, personality, and a lot of holiday fun to the conversation.

From championing the Jackson 5 early in their career to producing Emmy Award–winning miniseries like Lonesome Dove, Suzanne's career is defined by vision, talent recognition, and breaking barriers in Hollywood.An Eclectic, Wonderful Childhood (02:16) Suzanne describes growing up in Harlem, attending the progressive private school New Lincoln, and spending summers in Martha's Vineyard.Suzanne's Superpower (12:46) Suzanne talks about her greatest talent: recognizing the talent of others and knowing what to do with it.The Meeting That Changed Everything (16:22) Through her friendship with Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes, Suzanne met Berry Gordy in 1967, a moment that changed her life forever."One Day, That's Gonna Be Me" (21:19) Standing under the Essex House sign, watching Diana Ross depart in one limo, and the other Supremes in another, Suzanne had a realization: she wanted to be a part of that world.Championing The Jackson 5 (31:39) When Bobby Taylor invited her to hear a young group of brothers sing four songs a cappella, “the hair on the back of my neck flew up,” Suzanne recalls. Despite Barry Gordy's initial resistance to signing another kid act, her relentless advocacy is what finally got the Jackson 5 their Motown audition.Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction (38:04) In 2024, Suzanne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Ahmet Ertegun Award, the fifth woman and the first solo living female recipient among male legends.Lonesome Dove (40:28) After optioning Larry McMurtry's unpublished novel for $50,000, Swifty Lazar called with news: it had won the Pulitzer Prize. The resulting CBS miniseries was nominated for 19 Emmys, won 11, and received a Golden Globe and a Peabody Award.Immortal Studio: The Next Chapter (51:17) Suzanne has launched the production company Immortal Studio with partners Madison Jones, Cory Martin, and investor Yang Ben Wang. Focused on premium television, the company already has full seasons scripted and is built to be nimble, artist-friendly, and protective of creative vision — avoiding the industry's usual “fingerprinting process,” where too many people try to leave their mark.Suzanne de Passe demonstrates that recognizing talent, whether in five kids singing a capella or an unpublished western novel, combined with persistence and vision, can build an entertainment legacy that spans decades.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Suzanne de PasseProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Suzanne de Passe:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzanne_de_PasseIMDB:https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0210867/Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Before the Supremes, before Berry Gordy, a Los Angeles record label run out of a garage was shaping the future of American music.Founded by Dootsie Williams in the early 1950s, Dootone Records became a hub of innovation—recording doo-wop, jazz, and the first Black comedy albums that would influence generations. But while the physical site of Dootone has nearly vanished, its intangible heritage—the voices, rhythms, and entrepreneurial spirit it carried—still reverberates through today's culture. Through interviews with historian Robert Petersen and Getty preservationist Rita Cofield, this episode explores what it means to preserve sound as history: how a song like “Earth Angel” can outlast the walls that once contained it, and why the legacy of Dootone still matters today.Join Jaime as he retraces Dootone's path with Robert Petersen and Rita Cofield—following the threads from a Central Avenue porch to playlists today and uncovering how keeping these sounds in circulation keeps Dootone's legacy alive.Special thanks to Rita Cofield and Robert Petersen.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2019 conversation with Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson. ABOUT VALERIE SIMPSONSix-time Grammy nominee Valerie Simpson is best known as one half of the songwriting, production and performing duo of Ashford and Simpson, which she formed with musical partner and eventual husband Nick Ashford after they met at a church in Harlem, New York, in the early 1960s.  After early successes with Aretha Franklin's recording of “Cry Like a Baby” and Ray Charles' recordings of “Let's Go Get Stoned” and “I Don't Need No Doctor,” Nick and Valerie signed with Motown Records, first as songwriters, where their early successes included the hit singles “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” and “Your Precious Love,” recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. They soon began both writing and producing for the duo, with hits such as “Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing,” “You're All I Need to Get By,” “Good Lovin' Ain't Easy to Come By,” and “What You Gave Me.” Additional writing and production credits at Motown came with hits by The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Miracles, Gladys Knight, and Diana Ross, who found success with “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)” “Remember Me,” “Surrender,” and a remake of “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” that topped both the pop and R&B charts.   In addition to writing #1 hits such as Quincy Jones's “Stuff Like That” and Chaka Khan's “I'm Every Woman” after their Motown period, Ashford and Simpson began releasing their own recordings as a duo, landing nearly 40 songs on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Their list of Top 10 hits as artists, includes “It Seems to Hang On,” “Found a Cure,” “Love Don't Make it Right,” “Street Corner,” “Outta the World,” “Count Your Blessings,” “I'll Be There For You,” and “Solid.”   Ashford and Simpson were the recipients of the ASCAP Founder's Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the organization. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, named among Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, and provided the inspiration for the establishment of the Soul Train Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award. Following Nick's untimely death in 2011, Valerie has continued to write, record, and even appear on Broadway in the acclaimed musical Chicago.

Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP!  Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero.  Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously “realistic” production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society.   This one was a HOOT.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Evergreen topics for Anne and Damian: Tyne Daly in Gypsy, Grease, Spice Girls track listings, we look like cats in Heathcliff, the cast of Mannequin 2 aka is it Jonathan Silverman, no it's William Ragsdale in Herman's Head, Sex and the City/AJLT Cynthia Nixon's kitchen tour Tom and Lorenzo and their SJP adventure Plays Valentina in Boop on Broadway We love Dancer/Choreographer Rachelle Rak Coughing as Adelaide was tougher than talking and singing in character voice Bob Saget used his stand-up to differentiate himself from Danny Tanner  Nathan & Adelaide are famously the SOUBRETTES in Guys & Dolls so Jerry Zaks put them forward instead of Sky and Sarah (this changed how future productions positioned the 2 couples)  Jerry Mitchell says it's important to pass the baton down to the next generation of musical theatre stars Arthur Laurents aka “the meanest man in show-business”, Jerry Gutierrez, Abe Burrows, Comden & Green, Sondheim, Barishnykov, Howard Ashman, Jack Plotnick, Tina Landau,  My Father the Hero w/ Gerard Depardieu “Dirty Books” from The Last Dragon / Suzanne de Passe and Berry Gordy produced the soundtrack. Berry Gordy took her OUT and called her “baby” “One More Time” in First Wives Club “How do you know if someone has lived through trauma — by the way they get someone who doesn't like them, to like them.” Cole Escola of Oh, Mary! on CBS Sunday Morning Was in first 6 episodes of High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell (based on AbFab and Faith played the Saffy character) Faith Prince's “Men” from Nick & Nora. The show was a notorious flop. Arthur told Faith she was making a big mistake by leaving show to do Guys & Dolls. Mary Rodgers told her she could find a way into Anna through Gertrude Lawrence, who was a comedienne.  Was offered the role of Audrey in the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors Went to CCM with Jim Walton Had taken the revue, Scrambled Feet and was doing an IBM industrial so couldn't' take LSOH Lance Roberts is currently in Just in Time Ellen Greene did Adelaide at The Hollywood Bowl  Studied Donna Murphy who she replaced in The King & I and then did Wonderful Town (at LA Opera) Katie Finneran talked with us about James Lapine's realistic interpretation of Annie and Miss Hannigan in the 2012 revival. Said it was a challenge in the NYT. Re the 2012 revival of Annie: Andrea McArdle said “I didn't know we were doing Secret Garden” Associate Director Wes Grantham LOVES HUMOR, unlike Lapine Martin Charnin & Charles Strouse KISSED HER FEET when they visited her backstage John Doyle who directed A Catered Affair also backs away from the humor We love Bells are Ringing - Faith starred in the 2001 Broadway revival. Difficult because of Mitchell Maxwell who produced Had to ride an actor in Grey's Anatomy because character's IUD got stuck on her ex-husband's Prince Albert penis piercing Does some great character work in the indie film Our Very Own (got gig from doing reading of The Women with Allison Janney) IMDB lists her on an ep of Mad Men. INCORRECT. Martin Short was in Dennis Quaid movie, Innerspace My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies was an incredible, formative concert Managing Ursula costume in The Little Mermaid was worse than managing the wig in her Lifetime movie with Kathleen Turner, Friends at Last Vicki Lewis told us she held Dixie Carter's spit cup in a production of Mame she was in with Faith Christopher Walken kept pickled things in the pockets of his costume during James Joyce's The Dead (Marni Nixon was also in the show) We interviewed Annaleigh Ashford who is maybe made  in the mold of Faith Prince Damian is seeing an Italian production of Cats / Anne is seeing her nephew do Grease Jr.  in Sicily DUCK ASS HAIR for Danny Zuko

Berry Gordy IV is the son of the legendary Motown Founder Berry Gordy. Berry the 4th is a bit of a sage.  In his podcast debut he shares his unique perspective with Roseanne and Jake.  Berry believes language is a human creation and not a creation of god- and that single degree of separation is why man is constantly confused and conflicted.  Berry is a profoundly sweet and authentic man that we just fucking love and his book “Living Life Before Words” may just be the the written word your soul needs.  Berry Gordy IV: www.beforewords.com ------------------------------------------------ Sponsored By: Get prepped with IVERMECTIN and life-saving meds at The Wellness Company: http://www.twc.health/RB – code RB saves $30 + FREE shipping at checkout on Emergency Contagion Kits.
