Robert Gordy, Jr. Bio:

Born: April 12th, 1954 in Detroit, Mi

Mother: Theresa Gordy
Father: Robert L. Gordy, Sr.

I grew up with my siblings: sister - Roxanna, & brothers - Rodney, & Fuller II, in the city where it all began, Detroit, Michigan!

Why am I a Face Of Success? Well, I consider myself a Hitsville/Motown kid, as these were some of the fondest memories of my childhood, of being privey to seeing all the greats coming up: Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, Martha and The Vandellas, The Marvalettes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, the young Supremes, Mary Wells, little Stevie Wonder; my Uncle - Marvin Gaye (married to my Aunt Anna Gordy), Diana Ross, and, - The Jackson 5, with a young Michael Jackson, - and many many other greats, from the golden age, of the Motown era.

I also spent many times of my childhood staying at my father's brother's house (Berry Gordy), playing with his kids: Hazel Joy, Berry IV, & Terry James. We were constantly around those who would later become legends. I also have a host of many other cousins and relatives who we love, and cherish, one another.

It was an environment of music creation, and music production, manufacturing, marketing, radio and T. V. promotion, warehousing, distribution, and retail sales, as this was the business the grown folks were in. It was a hotbed of activity, with prolific sonwriters, and producers, such as - Holland/Dosier/Holland, Mickie Stevenson, Norman Whifield, Harvey Fuqua; and musicians, such as - James Jamerson, Earl Van Dyke, and all the Funk Brothers, just to name a few. I was an eyewitness to many of the great moments of that time.
