In the 1960s Motown Records was one of the biggest places to have an artist signed on. It had produced many great legends like Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, and Stevie Wonder. Motown Records is an American record label owned by the Universal Music Group and was founded by Berry Gordy Jr. as Tamla Records on June 7, 1958, and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1960.
Motown Records was doing great with their artist but had lost many of mostly to Drugs, poverty, suicide, and murder.
In 2021 Motown separated from the Capitol Music Group to become a standalone label once again. In recent news, Motown Records is currently laying off its staff as the label gets reintegrated under the Capitol Music Group.
Does Motown still exist?
Motown Records as we know it has been through a lot in the past years to get to its standing today. Motown Records shut down its operations in Detroit at the end of June 1972 but it continued its operations on the other sides of the country.
Most people blamed Motown Records, mostly because they failed to come up with new stars to replace those who moved on to other labels or passed their prime.
Motown Museum is located on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit—east of Rosa Parks Boulevard and west of Woodward Ave. and the John C. Lodge Expressway (M-10).
