OK to sing another tune

Paul Grein takes Catharine Hamm to task for denigrating Motown sounds [“Motown -- How Sweet It Is,” Letters, Sept. 14]. As great as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and the other musicians mentioned by Grein may be, a case can certainly be made that Mozart and Beethoven were even greater artists.

Hamm was a bit snide in her comment, but Grein needs to avoid thinking that the music he happens to prefer should be appreciated by everyone.
