<p> Originating in the &ldquo;Motor Town&rdquo; of Detroit, Michigan, The Motown Record Corporation fused the style of Soul music with a definitive Pop influence which brought its individual style to the top of the charts in the 1960s and 1970s. The genre is known for its energy and its bounce, and played an important role in racial integration by becoming a crossover success. Popular Motown artists which gave the genre its international popularity include The Temptations, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, The Jackson 5, and the Funk Brothers.</p><p> SummerStage presents a night dedicated to Motown&#39;s most influential musicians and some of the greatest hits of the Motown decades.</p><p></p><p> <strong>Felix Hernandez</strong> is in the business of remembering the good ol&rsquo; days. Hernandez&rsquo;s wildly popular radio show, <strong>Rhythm Revue</strong>, takes on a life of its own at New York&rsquo;s Roseland, where three thousand disciples regularly come to hear Fernandez spin the sounds of the past and boogie down. Felix Hernandez will rock the crowd once again at SummerStage again with his mix of soul, Motown, funk, salsa and disco dance classics. Bring your dancing shoes.</p>
