This is pretty cool.
Musicares has announced its choices for Person of the Year, and it’s Motown founder Berry Gordy and legendary performer Smokey Robinson.
If this doesn’t sell tickets, I don’t know what will. Everyone in Los Angeles will want to be at this dinner on February 3rd at the L.A. Convention Center.
There will be dancing in the streets because you know Stevie wonder will be there. Diana Ross? Maybe! Martha Reeves should also be invited. What a night!
“Wow! How honored I am to be named the MusiCares Persons of the Year, and together with my best friend of over 65 years, the great Smokey Robinson. How special is that!” said Berry Gordy, songwriter, producer and founder of Motown Records. “I am grateful to be included in MusiCares’ remarkable history of music icons. The work they do is so critical to the well-being of our music community, and I look forward to a most exciting evening.”
Adds Smokey Robinson: “I have supported MusiCares for many years and know what great work they do for our creative community who need our help. Recently, when no one could tour, they were a lifeline to those in the touring industry for monetary help and mental health services. I am honored that they have chosen me and my best friend and Motown founder Berry Gordy to share this beautiful honor and celebrate with you all together.”
