Motown countered 'acid rock' and psychedelia with more of its own brand of pop R and B; but eventually, through the influence of burgeoning writers and producers such as Norman Whitfield, stronger, more daring lyrics began to appear on record. While The Temptations became 'street credible' with "Cloud nine", Diana Ross and The Supremes dared to tell the story of a "Love child". In April 1968, Dr Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, and Motown immediately re-released his brilliant and emotive speech "I have a dream". The fantasy factory paid homage to black America's moral leader.
