A couple of years later, [Roscoe Lee Browne] was The Narrator in a Broadway production of "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe," a play by Edward Albee from a novella by Carson McCullers.

A section of West Grand Boulevard, where Hitsville USA is located, was renamed in honor of Motown founder BERRY GORDY JR. This came about thanks to Detroit City Council member MARTHA REEVES, who has been surprisingly effective in this new role. JENNIFER HUDSON did not emerge the first place winner on "American Idol," but this year she achieved something no other finalist has. She won the Academy Award in the Supporting Actress category for her perfect performance in the hit film "Dreamgirls.
