DETROIT — Detroit recording artist, songwriter, producer and music executive Robert Louis Gordy Sr. died of natural causes on Friday at his home in Marina del Rey, California. Gordy, younger brother of Motown records founder Berry Gordy, was 91.
Gordy also ran the Jobete Music Publishing company, a music publishing affiliate of Motown records. Under his leadership, Jobete Music transitioned from a holder of song copyrights into a “highly profitable international publishing company,” the release said. “I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of my younger brother, Robert,” Berry Gordy said. “He was absolutely the best lil’ brother anyone could ever hope for. His ability to succeed at whatever he attempted or that I threw his way, amazed me over the years. I will miss his love, his support, and his loyalty.”
