“I was one of the first five employees at Motown. I was with Berry at Motown since day one. There were five of us. We did everything. We boxed up the records, put the labels on them, shipped them out,Gordy sounded effusive in a statement issued Thursday morning, saying: “Wow! How honored I am to be named the MusiCares Persons of the Year, and together with my best friend of over 65 years, the great Smokey Robinson.
