“I have come full circle,” he said. “It is only appropriate (to announce this) while here in Detroit, the city where my fairy tale happened with all of you.”
Gordy stepped away from the publishing side of the business, but recently assisted in the production of the Broadway play Motown: The Musical in 2013, as well as Showtime’s Hitsville: The Making of Motown.
