The Sound of Young America! The Motown Sound went worldwide in the 60s, and that sound still resonates today. With nearly 200 #1 songs worldwide, Motown remains an influence on today's biggest pop and R&B stars. But Motown stands for more than just the music: it is a reflection of the hard work of dedicated individuals overcoming incredible obstacles to achieve great success. Berry Gordy Jr., a young African American man, founded Motown Records with a loan of $800 from his family. Through determination and support of the Motown family of artists, Gordy forged new ground and made the "Motown Sound" a worldwide phenomenon adored by millions. It's an "only in America" story. And everyone can sing along.
