There were some pictures and videos of Mr Gordy dancing. Rhonda, Tracee, Raif and Chico were there and Scherrie.

No Diana

Hmmm...well, Freda says Diana was present.

Gosh, it's hard to believe that Berry Gordy, Jr., is 95, bless his heart. As always, Smokey is looking younger by the day! How does he do it? Wish we could have seen Diana.

Thanks Sansradio for the info about Berry's Birthday Celebration. According to Freda's post, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie & Diana Ross were at the Party along with Smokey. Happy 95th Birthday to Berry Gordy!

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Yes, Happy Birthday; Mr. Gordy! Hope your special day will be the best ever!

Nothing in this link indicates that she wasn’t in attendance.

I also saw where Nancy Pelosi and her husband were in attendance at the event.

Mr. Gordy still cutting a rug at almost [[tomorrow) 95 years old, how much better could it be for him?! Very thankful he's still with us and in good health.

BG, thank you for what you brought in the world. Who would have guessed 60 years later we still discover, discuss and mostly enjoy Motown.

Very good to see your are healthy, in good spirits and very good to see part of the Motown family came together

Scherrie, Thelma and Freda at Berry's party.

I saw a video of Thelma singing Don’t leave me This Way - she still does a good job

Here's a link to the LA Sentinal write up of Berry Gordy's 95th. There is also an even bigger writeup with a great number of photos of Berry and the numerous attendees in the LA Sentinel e edition but I can't find a link to post.

Happy 95th Birthday to Berry Gordy, Jr., founder of Motown, the soundtrack of my life. ‼️☺️♥️
Thank you for posting this. I didn't know of his contributions to and ongoing relationships with UCLA [my alma mater] and St. Johns Health Center [where I worked at for 12 years before retiring]

Could anything be more perfect?:
Berry Gordy dances into his 95th birthday party.
Most of the people you'd hope would be there if they could, were.

This has to be the Motown moment of 2024.
