Introduction

The Motown Historical Museum sits at 'Hitsville U.S.A.' on Detroit's West Grand Boulevard — the two-storey brick house founder Berry Gordy bought in 1959. Studio A survives exactly as it was in the 1960s, where Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and many stars cut their hits; stage outfits and instruments on display document one of pop music's most brilliant chapters.
