In 1995 two 10 hour mini-series appeared on air simultaneously about the history of
Rock & Roll (the other being History of Rock and Roll by Time-Warner). This one aired
first on PBS and seems to stay closer to its documentary roots, and more factual
information is found in this series.

Episode 4 - "Respect"

Berry Gordy Jr. started his own record label Motown. Motown grew quickly within
a few years to be the major force in the pop industry as artists and songs were
all selected on the basis of having crossover potential. Gordy also hired outside
talents such as Maxine Powell, and Charlie Atkins to polish the appearance and
style of their artists. Jerry Wexler of Atlantic records worked with STAX records
to bring Aritha Franklin into the pop scene, later followed by Otis Redding.
