Motown Celebrates 50 Years of Music-Making Magic!


Motown, the sound that changed America, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary!

"Motown became a model of black capitalism, pride and self-expression and a repository for some of the greatest talent ever assembled at one company… Motown’s stable of singers, songwriters, producers and musicians took the concept of simple, catchy pop songs to a whole new level of sophistication."

From October 2008 through the end of 2009, Universal Music Group and EMI Music Publishing will mark the historic Detroit label’s musical achievements with a series of initiatives. Notably, Universal Music Enterprises will issue monthly music releases in both physical and digital formats, with bonus tracks enhancing these packages. Details will be announced as each new package approaches. Also upcoming throughout the celebration are releases of classic Motown Television specials in a series of DVD collections and 'Inside Motown', a multi-part documentary on how the company was built.

Stay tuned for more Motown 50 news!
