HI$TORICAL FOOTNOTE: Motown’s music changed American pop culture in a huge way in the late ’50s and early ’60s, before The Beatles and the British Invasion. Until Motown changed everything, Top 40 radio stations played a mere handful of black artists including the Mills Brothers, the Ink Spots, Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis. Gordy sold Motown for $61m but kept Jobete Music, which he later sold to Bandier at EMI. (All photos by Larry Busacca/Getty Images.) (4/15a)
