On a splendid May morning in 1792 in the Old City of New Amseterdam, The New York Stock Exchange was founded by brokers meeting under a tree in the then-bucolic setting that is now Wall Street.
Could the tri-cornered hat-wearing, clay pipe-puffing dudes in clogs and knickers known what they were unleashing? Even Gordon Gekko couldn't have called that one.
Ante up this morning with songs that would make Gordon Gekko smile. Or blush. Or take his blood pressure again.

Berry Gordy founded Motown Records on this day in 1960. And the rest is not just history, it’s our musical story. Motown the Musical entertains audiences on the Broadway stage nightly, and the melodies of Smokey Robinson, Holland/Dozier/Holland, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder are the soundtrack to our lives.
So name your favorite Motown remake. We all know the originals by heart. What unique interpretation of a Motown song does it for you?
