It’s been 60 years since the son of a plasterer, Berry Gordy Jr., began building what grew into an astonishing hit factory and the most-recognized record company of the 20th century. He did this in America's heartland, away from its traditional music capitals, but the iconic map of Detroit printed in the center of almost every Motown 45 was more than a lesson in geography. The music and artists associated with that city and that company have entertained and empowered millions of people around the world, and have influenced the sound of popular music ever since. This is The Motown Story.
