LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Temptations, the Isley Brothers and the Four Tops turned back time, singing and dancing as if in their prime at a reunion of former Motown stars.

It’s the first time the charitable organization honored two individuals in the same year. Gordy and Robinson’s friendship dates back more than 65 years to when they first met in their native Detroit.
