Fever Chapter #4

While reading this chapter I thought it was really interesting that Motown was a corporation formed by mainly black people and it had such a success.  I was surprised that not long after segregation was occurring in the United States many people were now listening to blacks sing.  It was also surprising to learn that females were now playing an essential role in the music industry.  Bands such as Martha and the Vandellas and Diana Ross and the Supremes were now producing number one hits.  I was happy when I read a part that talked about that black and white people where admiring each other in terms of music.  Men and women were seeing as equal and most importantly segregation was being put aside.  People were now enjoying the music regardless  of who was behind the microphone.
