		</div><p>The Motown mogul who launched the careers of numerous stars including Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson has announced his retirement.</p>
<p>Berry Gordy said he had “come full circle” at a 60th anniversary event for Motown Records, according to The Detroit Free Press.</p>
<p>The 89-year-old Detroit native built Motown Records into a hit-making music, film and television empire that shattered racial barriers and introduced the world at large to the sounds of R&;B, soul and funk.</p>
<p>Gordy sold the record label in 1988, but remained active, developing a musical and staying involved with the Motown Museum’s expansion campaign.</p>
<p>Speaking about retirement, Gordy said he had “dreamed about it, talked about it, threatened it” for years.</p>
<p>Director Lee Daniels also presented Gordy with the Motown Legacy honour.</p>
