Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father)
"Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father)" is a 1978 single recorded and released by Motown stars Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, as a tribute to the late Berry "Pops" Gordy, Sr., father of Motown founder Berry Gordy, who had died that year after a long battle with cancer.
Recording.
For the duration of Motown Records' tenure in its native Detroit, Berry Gordy
(To Your Heart)", reached number 25 there (the original Stylistics single failed to chart there), while the second, "You Are Everything", became a smash reaching number 5. Ross and Gaye would later record two more songs together in 1978: the Berry Gordy Sr. tribute song, "Pops, We Love You (A Tribute to Father)" and "I'll Keep My Light in My Window", both songs they recorded in the studio together.
