In the 1960s, the music of Motown brought America together when it most needed to find common ground. “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” “You’ve Really Got A Hold on Me,” “You’re All I Need,” “I Heard It Through The Grapevine,” “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” “The Love You Save,” “Reach Out and Touch,” and “Sign, Sealed, Delivered,” to name just a few.
