2020 marks the 60th anniversary of Tamla Motown, arguably the
greatest recording label in the history of African American soul
music. Detroit Motor City 1960 and with racial tensions simmering
and with only eight thousand dollars, Berry Gordy, a man with an
unshakeable detrmination and vision moved into a modest building
that was to become HITSVILLA USA from where he and his close inner
circle gave the world the unique Motown sound. The first person
Berry Gordy hired at Motown was a white jewish boy called Al
Abrams, who got The Supremes on the cover of a magazine, as the
first black group ever. From the plantations of the Deep South
where African American music was born to Gordy's early successes
with Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and
Martha Reeves, to his involvement with the Black Mafia and his move
to Los Angeles following the race riots and the departure of his
legendary songwriting team of Holland Dozier Holland. This is the
story of Berry Gordy and Motown who changed the face and sound of
African American soul music forever more.
