 Berry Gordy Jr. The Man Who Started It All An American record executive, record producer, songwriter, film producer and television producer. He is best known as the founder of the Motown record label and its subsidiaries. Gordy was born in Detroit, worked in the automotive industry and used knowledge learned there to mold and shape his own music industry.  The Berry Gordy Mansion What is the Motown sound? The video below will shed light on the musicians, songwriters and the sound.  At first glance, the title of the book, "Stuck . . .but Loving It" by ANTONETTE (TONI) MCILWAIN, seems to forecast negativism and failure, . . . .but flipping open the cover and delving into the story, the reader discovers the title points to the opposite. . . notably, positive life changes--changes not only made by the author for herself, but changes that inspired countless others to change their lives for the betterment of mankind! Growing up in an abusive household where she saw her mother repeatedly beaten by her stepfather, falling prey to the same treatment by her boyfriend who later became an abusive husband, Toni seemed to be destined for a lifetime of humiliation and destruction. Not so. One day, courage, faith and inner strength, made her take her four small children and walk out into a world with no place to go, no food to eat, no money to buy anything and no clear pathway before her. All she knew . . . was there had to be something better . . . because "I am somebody!" What did she do? How did she do it? Where did she go? How did she and her children survive? Whatever it was, it caused a world to welcome her with open arms . . . and a president to take notice!  TONI MCILwain Let her tell you . . . Tune in to "Talk to the Author"with Dr. Mamie Smith at 5 pm on November 29, 2019 @ eamtradio.com and hear her amazing story!  Dr. Mamie Smith Get a head start by running over to amazon and grabbing her book! It's a touching story. . . one you will remember for a long time.   Hitsville U.S.A. is the birthplace of Motown music--the unique sound that changed the world in the 60s and 70s! Over 70,000 visitors each year walk through the structure that gave rise to voices like The Supremes, Smokey Robinson, Mary Wells, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and The Four Tops. Of course, there were many more...including the songwriters, instrumentalists and the Founder Berry Gordy Jr, the guy who started it all. So...when it was discovered that the museum was planning a 50 million-dollar expansion, anticipation and excitement filled the atmosphere! It could not have happened to a greater musical legacy and city. The planned project is set to reach 50,000 square ft. and looks like it could be part of the Las Vegas Strip...but it isn't. It's Motown-our town!  After Berry moved his record label enterprise to L.A., Hitsville U.S.A. closed, but emerged as a nonprofit in 1985 and has served visitors for 34 years. Fundraising for the nonprofit began in 2016, intensified in 2017 and has garnered support from heavy hitters like the DTE Energy Foundation, UAW-Ford, Ford Motor and William Davidson Foundation. As a young woman listening to the falsetto voice of Eddie Kendrick and the "soulful, churchy" voice of David Ruffin, the writer joins others in recognizing that it is high time the city honors the men and women who shared their talents with the world, and positively influenced social issues and American values.  God Sent by Rafa Don, is a single in the Hip Hop/Rap genre that reveals the transformation of rap music from what many perceived as inner city, subculture music by African Americans, to the respected genre it is today–a musical entity that has found its way into mainstream pop. God Sent went a step further and labeled its secondary category as Christian/Gospel. The lyrics suggest faith, determination and an awareness of the origin of true goodness. It is simply saying, “All goodness comes from God.” God Sent can be found in places like Amazon, Spotify, Youtube and the artist’s website @ http://makewayent.com.  At times, have you ever felt the world is swirling around you, moving at a pace difficult to reconcile? God Sent encourages slowing the pace, embracing the natural elements of life and gaining an inner peace. Originally, four key elements defined rap music: chanting rhythmically, scratching with turntables, break dancing and graffiti writing. God Sent represents two of those: chanting rhythmically and DJ turntables. So…walk over to iTunes or one of the websites listed above and let this single be a “God Sent” for you.

The Prayer Breakfast is the Second Annual Fundraiser. Funds support FREE lessons for under-privileged children and the purchase and repair of musical instruments for the children. Donations are accepted here. No donation is too large or too small. Help Create a Smile with Music! Stand Up for the Arts!
Most of us born in the twentieth century, were able to get music education in public schools. School districts viewed the arts as an essential element in the life of a child. They knew it is through the arts that we develop feelings, empathy, kindness and discipline.  What happened to that understanding? In today's public schools, music education is a dinosaur. Only a select number have it, and where it is most needed, it is not there. Under-privileged children find that artistic need in video games--games where children learn to kill, mutilate bodies and see violence as normal.  Then we wonder...why is there so much violence, anger and hate in society today? Come on...I know music is not a cure-all, but it is one of the pieces that help give the puzzle identity. Educational Arts Society is a small, non profit seeking to help fill the void public education has imposed on America's children by offering FREE music instruments and lessons to underprivileged children. However, foundations overlook small non profits...say they are not making a difference. We know they are, and will somehow continue to find funding to do so. Here are a few qualities that music provides to children. It:
