 My '01 Bullitt and Arkansas Mike's '67 Bullitt Replica

These two houses were the home to the Motown Sound from 1959 to 1972.  Berry Gordy ran Motown like a automotive production line and subsequently created a steady stream of hits through the '60's and '70's.  Between 1961 and 1971, Motown had 110 Top 10 hit records.

Visiting this museum, one will appreciate the effort that the Motown group put forth to generate their vast succession of hits.  The infamous 'Garage Band' label from the '90's does not hold water in Detroit.  Motown was recording in the garage of the house on the right since 1959.

If one wanted a Motown audition, you had to work the front office of Motown Records first and acts were subjected to a 'Finishing' school.

The museum is open from Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The Motown Museum is a nice visit on a Saturday afternoon.  One will appreciate what Motown did to generate their hit's in the '60's and early '70's.
