Berry Gordy founded Motown Records on this day in 1960. And the rest is not just history, it’s our musical story. Motown the Musical entertains audiences on the Broadway stage nightly, and the melodies of Smokey Robinson, Holland/Dozier/Holland, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder are the soundtrack to our lives.

So name your favorite Motown remake. We all know the originals by heart. What unique interpretation of a Motown song does it for you?
