About This File

Motown Records was founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan. Gordy purchased 2648 West Grand Boulevard, where he boldly hung a sign “Hitsville U.S.A.” over the front door. Motown would be headquartered there for the next decade, absorbing adjoining buildings on both sides of the street, transforming it into a hits factory. Hitsville U.S.A. and an attached house were converted into the Motown Museum in 1985.

With the slogan "The Sound of Young America", Motown Records was a powerful force of racial integration in the 1960s, making pop-infused R&B that was accessible to young people of all races. Kids jumped police-guarded barriers segregating concerts, venues which previously banned black artists began allowing them, and the Motown Sound permeated through all of American culture.

Just downloaded SC4 from when I last had it 2 decades ago. Decided to mod and now Im here. Recently moved from Detroit to Chicago  and found my self missing the little great things from home. Stumbled upon this and man my smile grew. Thank you, I can not put into words now happy this and all Detroit landmarks make me. 

Cheers Mate.
