. Motown Legend Dies was a top story from March and here it is again as we look back at the biggest stories from 2009 so far: (Reuters) Motown drummer Uriel Jones, whose hard-driving funk propelled classic tunes by the Temptations and Marvin Gaye, died in a Michigan hospital on Tuesday after suffering complications from a heart attack, a family member said. He was 74.
