Levy Lecture Series: Motown: The Music that Moved the World

  • Date: 06/22/2021 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM  

Join the Levy Senior Center Foundation on Tuesday, June 22 for a virtual "Motown: The Music that Moved the World" lecture by Gary Wenstrup. 

In Detroit during the 1960s, Motown Records produced hits as efficiently as the Ford Motor Company produced automobiles--110 Top Ten hits to be exact! It was the "Sound of Young America" sung by performers like The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. Using audio and visual content, we'll trace the amazing musical journey from the power soul of "Dancing in The Streets" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" to the psychedelic soul of "Cloud Nine" and "What's Going On" to the pop soul of The Jackson 5. Join us as we listen to timeless music that moved us then and continues to move us now.

Presented via Zoom. Register
