This was kind of a big deal.
Isn't this where she says "every time you honour me, you honour the whole Motown Family"?
Yes, jobeterob, this is that clip. I thought what Diana said was very heartfelt and was glad she mentioned that Gordy didn't really get enough credit in the music industry. His well-oiled machine produced so much incredible music that it looked too easy - and people don't always feel something is worth anything if it's too easy. There is also some footage from the opening of Motown The Musical [[after the BET footage) that is fun.Quote:

Great video. Thanks Luke. Good to see them all back together again.
Absolutely, I hope that the Motown stars attend the UK OPENING of Motown the musical and Mr Gordy too, that would be amazing for the UK fans
