BLACK HISTORY MINUTE Who Am I? • I am the founder and owner of one of the largest black owned businesses in American history. • I was a professional boxer, songwriter, producer, and businessman. • I was born November 28, 1929. • Through my determination and passion for music, I became a self-made man who helped to create one of the celebrated sounds of modern music. • My father, an owner of a grocery store, plastering company, and printing shop taught my siblings and me the value of hard work and family unity. • I quit high school to become a professional boxer and won several contests before leaving the profession in 1950. • I was drafted into the Army a year later where I earned my high school equivalency diploma. • I returned from my military career in Korea in 1953 and opened the 3-D Record Mart, a jazz oriented retail store. • I was later forced into bankruptcy and closed my store in 1955. • Over the course of a few years I engaged in nightly visits to Detroit’s thriving jazz and R&B scene and became so inspired, I started writing songs. • My first song was written for my old boxing colleague Jackie Wilson with the help of my sister Gwen and my friend Billy Davis.
BLACK HISTORY MINUTE • After writing a few successful hits for my friend Wilson, establishing my own record label and distributing records through a Chicago company, I decided to start my own company. • I formed four major companies and one that bears my name. • I hired local musicians, writers, and producers, and scored my first and really big hit in 1961 with a local singer named Smokey Robinson’s song called “Shop Around.” • By the mid 1960’s I had assembled a wealth of talent, including the Supremes, the Four tops, the Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder. • I relocated my record company to Los Angeles where we became one of the top black owned businesses. • During the 1970s and 1980s, my company produced motion pictures and more artists like the Jackson Five, the Commodores, Lionel Richie, Rick James, and DeBarge. • I was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988 which brought recognition to my company as a giant in the recording industry who helped transform the sound of popular music. • My company’s name is Motown Record Corporation.
