Berry may have given Smokey his start in the business, but since they met they've been best friends, their lives and fates interwoven through the decades. From the early days of the Motown Era, Hitsville's prime in Detroit, the artists, the music, the writers, working together...what a life!!! The changes inside the music, and the move to L.A. are all discussed.\nThrough everything life can throw at you over 60+ years, they've lived with kindness and a clear view of the bigger picture. Their impact individually is immense. Together, they've been an unstoppable force for good, unity, and kindness.\nMusiCares breaks the mold to honor TWO persons, for the first time. The organization helps musicians who need it regardless of their achievements!\nFor now, let the good times roll for two men we admire and respect! The party is on!\n\nWe love our sponsors!!!
