The Black Music of the Time

The trick was to give them music that they could understand. Dr. Martin Luther King came to Motown eventually and he said, I want to record my, I have a dream speech on Motown. We'd go to the south, black people on one side of the road, white people on the other side. There's white boys with black girlfriends and black boys with white girlfriends. And they all having a good time because we gave them a common love. The Iron Curtain is real, baby. But the people love the music and they knew it.
