Interview: Claudette Rogers Robinson - “The First Lady of Motown” - Page 7

We would definitely rather that he was here alive and well to be a part of his celebration. But I think his legacy will go on forever and ever because his music is unmistakably genius. I don't know of any other word that would really come into play for what he has contributed to the music world. And to this day, his contributions continue to go on because there is so much unreleased material that is currently being released.

His work is absolutely fantastic. When you listen to his music, it's still current; it's never old. That's only what a genius would be able to do because the average person, after a few years, the music begins to sound dated and old. His never does.
