"You're one of the coolest live bands we've seen in a long while." - Saw you guys at Mallory Court for my friends wedding last weekend, you guys were incredible! Me and my partner just love soul and it was a lovely treat to discover you guys were performing, you're one of the coolest live bands we've seen in a long while. Georgina xx  

"I doubt there is a better function band out there" - We went to see Junction 2 do one of their public appearances and knew immediately we wanted them for our wedding. They have a fantastic repertoire to appeal to all ages and are all obviously excellent musicians. The dance floor was packed all night, and the band were very flexible to fit in with our requirements and timings. I doubt there is a better function band out there; our guests could not believe how good you guys were.  

"They definitely stand out amongst other soul bands we have seen!" - Fab band, great gig on new year's eve - they definitely stand out amongst other soul bands we have seen! brilliant! Danced all night!! Hope to see you again. The Foxes (Nick, Steve and Teri Fox) at Wroxall Abbey Estate - New Year's Eve 2008.

Gordy's first signed act was The Matadors, a group he had written and produced songs for, who changed their name to The Miracles when Tamla signed them. Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson became the vice president of the company (and later named his daughter "Tamla" and his son "Berry" out of gratitude to Gordy and the label). Many of Gordy's family members, including his father Berry, Sr., brothers Robert and George, and sister Esther, were eventually given key roles in the company. By the middle of the decade, Gwen and Anna Gordy had joined the label in administrative positions as well.
