I try and look at the totality of what Motown means to me as an intense music lover and as a person of color. Sure, we could isolate this or that. But I feel my life with Motown was destiny...to my mother owning "Money", so many songs and artists that illuminate beautiful memories. Few things in life are perfect. But, one thing I know for sure, my life would have significantly less meaning without Motown. I am even beholden to Motown for a wonderful career. It's all a choice. I choose to celebrate the goodness, the inspiration, the sheer joy of hearing dramatic opening chords of a song like "Beauty is Only Skin Deep" to my first interracial love as captured in "Does Your Momma Know About Me?"......the success of these DVDs are icing on the cake!
