Fuller B. Gordy, a Motown VP and oldest brother of Berry Gordy, was known throughout the entertainment industry, as a caring humanitarian and mentor to many. In the early 60’s, Gordy also gained recognition as a successful bowler, becoming the first Black Bowler, from Michigan, to be inducted into the Professional Bowlers Association.

In 2008, Fuller’s daughter, Iris Gordy, a Motown Museum Trustee and former Motown vice president, and his granddaughter, Karla Gordy Bristol, talk show host of TV’s “Beverly Hills View” and Facebook Live’s “Karla & Rainelle Show,” together, formed the Friends of Fuller “Strikefest,” as a tribute to his humanitarian and bowling legacies.
