Television special taped before a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on March 25, 1983, and broadcast on NBC on May 16. Highlights include Michael Jackson's performance of "Billie Jean", a Temptations/Four Tops "battle of the bands", Marvin Gaye's inspired speech about black music history and his memorable performance of "What's Going On", and a Jackson 5 reunion.

The Four Tops circa the early 21st century are more Vegas than their original R&B/soul roots, as proven by the 2002 DVD/video, 40th Anniversary Special. Recorded live on August 8, 1996, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the quartet glitzes it up for slightly over an hour, performing fun versions of such classics as "Baby I Need Your Loving," "Reach Out (I'll Be There)," "Standing in the Shadows of Love," "Shake Me Wake Me (When It's Over)," and "Ask the Lonely," among others.

Voix puissante « à faire exploser une maison entière » et artiste authentique, Aretha Franklin a grandi à Detroit dans une maison gorgée de musique. Prêcheur charismatique et engagé, son père, le célèbre pasteur C. L. Franklin, fréquente des figures du jazz, du gospel et du combat pour les droits civiques tels que Martin Luther King. Aretha forge son talent à leur contact, en s’inspirant également du sens de la dramaturgie de son paternel, dont les sermons font un tabac, et à l’école, elle aussi théâtrale, du gospel.
