The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced that Motown Records Founder, Berry Gordy will be honoured with the Pioneer Award at this year’s Award night. This is the second year of the Award’s existence, as last year it was given posthumously to Woody Guthrie. The Award was established to “honor the career of a historic creator of an extensive body of musical work that has been a major influence on generations of songwriters”. That label has to apply to Berry Gordy, who pioneered a genre that gave countless African American musicians and songwriters their start. We congratulate Berry Gordy on his latest achievement.
