Two-days after the Grammy Museum honored Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, Motown entertainers re-unite with founder, Berry Gordy, to bowl in "Strike-Fest" and attend a performance by Motown artist, Thelma Houston. The dinner event by the "Friends of Fuller" Gordy, (who built Motown with brother Berry) raised funds for The Manformation Project - which mentors inner-city, at-risk boys aged 8-17 years old. Speaking with my camera are choreographer Debbie Allen "Fame" and director of "Grey's Anatomy; civil-rights comedian/ventriloquist Willy Tyler and his doll, Lester, " legendary studio guitarist- Wah Wah Watson ("Papa Was a Rolling Stone"), disco-queen Thelma Houston ("Don't Leave Me This Way") and Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records and impressario of the Broadway hit, "Motown: The Musical." Also in attendance were Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. ("The Fifth Dimension," hosts 1980's countdown TV show "Solid Gold," and hit singers with ""You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)." )
