Motown at the White House
Grown folk business :-)
The White House was like a basement sound studio in Detroit in the old days, as the likes of John Legend, Seal, Jamie Foxx and others performed in front of President Obama & guests at The White House.
Motown legends Smokey Robinson & Stevie Wonder were also present to join in the celebration.
Obama on Thursday called Motown’s music “the soundtrack of the civil rights era,”
John Legend performed a soulful rendition of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" that left Foxx, who also served as the program’s host, to joke that nowadays the story was more likely to be “heard it through my Twitter.”
In order for music to go forward, we must not forget where it came from.
Sooo...
SALUTE!!!
