DETROIT
- A copy
of the
original
land
contract
for
Motown
Records’
Hitsville
U.S.A.
in
Detroit
will be
unveiled
as part
of the
music
company’s
60th
anniversary
celebration.
Officials
with the
Motown
Museum,
located
where
Berry
Gordy
Jr.
launched
his
music
empire,
say they
will
share
the
rarely
seen
document
via
Facebook
at 3
p.m.
Tuesday.
That
coincides
with the
1959
date
that
Gordy
purchased
the
house on
West
Grand
Boulevard.
Museum
CEO and
Chairwoman
Robin
Terry
called
it “the
start of
a
journey
that
would
ultimately
rock the
world.”
The
event is
part of
a series
of
“archive
dives”
this
year to
coincide
with
milestone
dates.
The
Supremes,
the
Miracles,
Martha
and the
Vandellas,
Marvin
Gaye,
Stevie
Wonder
and many
others
recorded
hits
there
before
Motown
moved in
1972 to
California.
