Motown Records was an American record label originally founded by Berry Gordy in 1959. Its importance stems from their support to exclusively African American artists (musicians) such as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Mary Wells, The Supremes, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and many others, as well as from the popularization of funk as a genre.
