What is Motown ???

Motown music is a musical genre that blends the sounds of rhythm and blues (R&B)and pop music styles. It is played with a variety of musical instruments, from electric to acoustic. Though Motown uses a variety of instruments, some of the most common sounds come from percussion instruments and distinctive vocals. Though the unique sound that is Motown was influenced by R&B and pop, the vocals closely rival those that are found in gospel music. Such strong vocals and the distinct sound of the blended sound of the tambourine, drums and bass guitar, make this a well-known style of music. The term was created to pay credit to the place of origin of the musical style. Detroit, which is also known as the motor city, was the first official home of this sound. The musical form that erupted in Michigan quickly gave way to a record company in 1959. #motown #detroit #music #soul #motorcity #soulmusic #michigan #s #funk #michaeljackson #motownrecords #detroitvseverybody #love #detroitpride #vinyl
