One connection I have discovered is that Dreamgirls exposed the many Black girl groups that sprung to fame during the 1960s. Dreamgirls, was influenced by Black Woman singing groups such as The Supremes,  The Marvelettes, The Ronnetes, many more. During the time of the civil rights movement, these groups were a national breakout that would change American music forever.
