Classic Motown
The Sound of Young America! The Motown Sound went worldwide in the 60s, and that sound still resonates today. With nearly 200 #1 songs worldwide, Motown remains an influence on today's biggest pop and R&B stars. But Motown stands for more than just the music: it is a reflection of the hard work of dedicated individuals overcoming incredible obstacles to achieve great success. Berry Gordy Jr., a young African American man, founded Motown Records with a loan of $800 from his family. Through determination and support of the Motown family of artists, Gordy forged new ground and made the "Motown Sound" a worldwide phenomenon adored by millions. It's an "only in America" story. And everyone can sing along.

In honor of #MLKDay, we celebrate ASCAP member Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s enduring legacy and Stevie Wonder's tireless work to make his birthday a national holiday. After attending King's funeral in 1968, Stevie led rallies and created his anthem "Happy Birthday" to inspire nationwide support for the cause. Today, we remember both King's legacy and Stevie Wonder's advocacy in securing its recognition.
