Motown playlist inspired by Obama’s memoir boasts Marvin Gaye, The Supremes

Motown classics both old and new — from Stevie Wonder to Erykah Badu — make up a hits-filled playlist curated to mark Michelle Obama’s Detroit visit.

Forty songs line the list, which was released on the major streaming services Tuesday afternoon.

Obama is in Detroit for the latest stop on her tour supporting her best-selling memoir, “Becoming: An Intimate Conversation With Michelle Obama.” She’s appearing Tuesday night at Little Caesars Arena. Motown Records is a sponsor of the tour, and will host a kiosk on the LCA concourse where attendees can create digital postcards embedded with the playlist.

The former first lady made an unannounced appearance Tuesday afternoon at the Motown Museum, where she joined her brother, Craig Robinson, and Detroit actor Keegan-Michael Key in a motivational roundtable with several young male students from Wayne State University.

The playlist is inspired by moments from Obama’s life, many of which are recounted in her memoir. It includes music from Stevie Wonder, one of the former first lady’s favorite artists and whose work she discusses at length throughout her memoir, along with other notable songs that have comprised the soundtrack of her life, Tuesday’s official announcement noted.
