The Eastern Daily Press is a regional paper in the east of England. Motown music didn't just touch those in the United States. The label's soul-infused/pop sound had a global impact on the world, especially in the UK. 

With the Detroit-based label's success there, this helped to shape British pop and R&B with groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones being influenced by the Motown sound. As a matter of fact, the rise of Northern Soul, which dealt with British dance and record-collecting culture built around rare American soul singles, also was influenced by Motown.

Media titan Eric Alper featured It’s No Wonder: The Life and Times of Motown’s Legendary Songwriter Sylvia Moy in an article on his popular outlet, appropriately titled That Eric Alper.

Alper, formerly director of media relations for eOne Music Canada, is at the forefront of the Canadian entertainment industry and well known on social media for his enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge of all things music. Some of his past and present clients include Ringo Starr, Carole King, Barry Manilow, Ray Charles, Jerry Garcia, Snoop Dogg, Little Big Town, Smashing Pumpkins, Public Enemy, Ziggy Marley, Duran Duran, The Wiggles, Sesame Street and many others.

I was also interviewed by the veteran Canadian publicist as an upcoming guest on his That Eric Alper Show SiriusXM, Channel 167 on the Canada Talks Channel. It was a delightful conversation. His passion and love for music mirrored my own. I believe that music is God’s gift to us all, because it blesses us in many ways. During the pandemic, a time of severe isolation and social distancing for everyone, music was my salvation. And along the way, it helped me meet Sylvia Moy on IG via the page @blackstory1619 on September 12, 2021.
