Listen to songs that crossed racial barriers and captivated the world
Motown Records is not just a record label, but a cultural phenomenon that has made a profound impact on popular music, American society, and racial integration. Founded in Detroit in 1959 by visionary Berry Gordy Jr., it became a symbol of the “sound of young America”, producing hit after hit. It also played a key role in the careers of black artists and in the fight for their mainstream recognition.
