 Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever was a 1983 television special produced by Suzanne de Passe for Motown Records, to commemorate Motown's twenty-fifth year of existence.Motown was founded in January 1959 , meaning that a twenty-fifth anniversary special should have aired in 1984 , not 1983 . One could argue that Gordy's vision of what would become "Hitsville USA" was conceived in 1958 , considering the month of Motown's founding.The show was also co-written by de Passe along with Ruth Adkins Robinson who would go on to write shows with de Passe for the next 25 years, including the follow up label tributesthrough "Motown 40," Buz Kohan was the head writer of the threesome.The program was taped before a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on March 25, 1983.This all-star reunion features vintage sixties footage and live performances by some of the greatest Motown stars.Among its highlights were, a Jackson Five reunion in which they sing a medley of their hits, Michael Jackson's iconic performance of "Billie Jean " and a stellar Temptations / Four Tops "battle of the bands".A Contemplative moment of the show came with Marvin Gaye's inspired speech about black music history and his memorable performance of " What's Going On ".This would be the last time that Berry Gordon saw Marvin perform live.The all-star line up also includes the historic, albeit abbreviated reunion with Diana Ross and The Supremes, who performed their final #1 hit, " Someday We'll Be Together " from 1969 .Simply put, this program captures the magic of Motown sound yesterday, today, and forever.
