From 1961 to 1971, Motown Records took more than 100 songs in the top 10 of the Billboard charts. That kind of success wasn’t by accident – founder Berry Gordy Jr. had a knack for recognizing soul artists with a mainstream pop appeal who would flip the music world on its head. Don’t miss the Reno Phil’s homage to this iconic era and its music as the orchestra performs hits by Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, The Temptations, Diana Ross, and more.
