The Golden Age of the Motown Sound
(Detroit News)
In 1957 a singing group called the Matadors, who were fronted by a young singer called Smokey Robinson, auditioned unsuccessfully for Jackie Wilson's manager. But another young man who watched the audition saw something Wilson's manager had obviously missed and persuaded the group to change their name to the Miracles and work with him instead. The rest is history. That man, of course, was Berry Gordy Jr.

(Not a celebrity? No problem, just rent an entourage of A-list party people and be treated like a big shot. However, their website is garbage, so if that's any indication I wouldn't expect too much from this service. But the idea is pretty interesting, if executed properly. )
