Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, October 23 2023

Before setting up the groundbreaking Motown Records in 1959, Berry Gordy had a job on the assembly line at a Lincoln-Mercury automobile factory. This assembly line experience would later shape how he managed the record label, employing a streamlined, assembly-line-like process for crafting hit songs. Based in Detroit, Michigan, also known as the “Motor City,” Motown was far more than a record label; it became a cultural phenomenon. Gordy’s trailblazing idea for Motown was to produce music that resonated with both Black and white listeners during an era marked by racial segregation.

Gordy introduced what became famous as the “Motown Sound,” a unique blend of soulful vocals, catchy tunes, and rhythmic bass lines. The label wasn’t just a commercial success; it was an important cultural entity. It dismantled racial boundaries in the music industry and offered a stage to Black musicians and singers who might otherwise have gone unnoticed. The Motown brand gave rise to legends like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the Jackson 5, establishing itself as one of history’s most successful independent record labels.
