Elk Grove Village Public Library

Large Meeting Room A/B/C

Join Gary Wenstrup as he takes you down memory lane with the timeless music that moved us then and moves us now.

In Honor of Black History Month

In Detroit, in the 1960s Motown Records produced hits as efficiently as the Ford Motor Company produced automobiles.  It was the "Sound of Young America" sung by performers like The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Stevie Wonder.  Using audio and visual content we'll trace the amazing musical journey from the powerful soul of "Dancing in The Streets" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" to the psychedelic soul of "Cloud Nine" and "What's Going On" to the pop-soul of The Jackson 5.  Timeless music that moved us then and moves us now.
