DESCRIPTION:
Few places in the world have the concentration of transportation companies and research institutions as Detroit, but the Motor City is about more than cars
In 1958 Berry Gordy patterned his dream in the same manner as the automotive giants and a new giant was born - Motown Records. . And just as the assembly lines in this city churned out transportation that the world embraced, Gordy’s artists quickly became international household names. This show brings you the music and original artists that made Berry Gordy’s dream a reality – The Magic of Motown featuring The Contours (with original member Joe Billingslea, Gary Grier, Charles Davis, Al Chisolm and Lyall Hoggatt), Jr Walkers Allstar Band (with Ronnie Nelson, Marty Montgomery, Acklee King, Chuck Jackson, Kevin )KC) Carter and John Morgan), Miracles Memories (with Bernard Gibson, Mark Scott, Greg Palmer and Tyrone Marshall) and The Ladeez (with Dula Todd, Phyllis Parham and Kimberly Starr).
