Motown 60: A Grammy Celebration, which airs April 21 on CBS, pays respect to a history-making, game-changing record company. The two-hour show, co-hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and Motown legend Smokey Robinson, features such Motown icons as Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder, as well as non-Motown artists like John Legend and Little Big Town. Motown, founded in 1959, was 14 years old before the label received its first Grammy nominations for record, album or song of the year. The recognition came in 1973 when Wonder was a finalist in all three categories for "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" and Innervisions, which won for album of the year. That means Grammy voters passed over such classics as The Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go," The Temptations' "My Girl” and Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine” for record and song of the year, as well as Gaye's What's Going On and Wonder's Music of My Mind for album of the year.
