Gordy told the packed Microsoft Theater at the "Motown 60: A Grammy Celebration" that he wanted his label to bring people together from all walks of life through "a legacy of love." When Gordy launched Motown, he gave black musicians the platform to showcase their talents at a time when they struggled to get their records played on mainstream radio stations. "We didn't even realize the impact of Motown," said Gordy, who started the label with an $800 loan from his family. After singing a couple of songs onstage, she returned back to Gordy and sang "My Man." Trainor, Kelly, Fantasia, Chloe x Halle, Thelma Houston, and Martha Reeves also took turns in a "Women of Motown" medley.
