Lonely Planet review

The Motown Museum is a string of unassuming houses that became known as 'Hitsville USA' after Berry Gordy launched Motown Records here with an US$800.00 loan in 1959. Stars that rose from the Motown label include Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight and Michael Jackson.

Gordy and Motown split for the glitz of Los Angeles in 1972, but you can still step into humble Studio A and see where the Four Tops and Smokey Robinson recorded their first hits.
