Which 1950s rock star did berry gordy model his vision after, creating music that he thought could appeal to not only a black audience, but a white one as well?

Explanation:

The 1960s and '70s saw popular artists who Gordy developed—including the Supremes, the Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye—dominate the music scene. Changing tastes and a loss of focus led to Motown's decline, and Gordy sold the company in 1988. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that same year

we could tell by the rotten smell, that something putrid was in our trash can.
