  Featuring classic songs such as “My Girl” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” the Broadway hit: Motown The Musical is now playing at Proctors in Schenectady through Sunday.

It is the true story of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s journey from featherweight boxer to the heavyweight music mogul who launched the careers of Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson and many more.

We meet two of the stars this morning: Jarran Muse plays Marvin Gaye and Syndee Winters portrays Diana Ross.
