Being from Detroit, I was (and proudly, still am) a Motown junkie. Even though Motown Records had moved to LA by the time I really began to appreciate the music, it did not matter. Diana Ross, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder---MAGIC.
I remember my first Diana Ross concert. It was at The Ford Auditorium in downtown Detroit. It was in the late 70s. I went with my mom, my grandmother, my best friend. I think I was in junior high. The concert was awesome, but what I remember most was my grandmother getting up out of her seat with her program, going a few rows in front of us and getting autographs from Diana's brother, mother, and and Aretha Franklin. I still have that program. Classic.
Carry on.
