Motown Stars Bring Down The White House

US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have celebrated the music of Motown Records with a special concert at the White House.

Singers including Stevie Wonder, Seal and John Legend were invited to perform in the East Room as part of a celebration of America's Black History Month.

The First Lady introduced Motown luminary Smokey Robinson, 71, and label founder Berry Gordy as true trailblazers.

She said: "There wouldn't be an Usher if there wasn't a Smokey Robinson. You know, there wouldn't be an Alicia Keys without a Gladys Knight."

And she confessed to a soft spot for one Motown artist in particular - Stevie Wonder - who performed You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Dancing In The Street.

Host Jamie Foxx teased the President as he tried to get him to dance to the sounds that were a part of the soundtrack of the first couple's youth. Source/sky.com
