The Motown Historical Museum includes the original Hitsville USA building and Motown Studio A, once frequented by the likes of the Temptations, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and other Motown royalty to record their first hits. Looking very much like they did in the 1960’s, the buildings were two of the original eight structures owned by Motown’s Berry Gordy on Detroit’s Grand Avenue to house his sprawling music empire before the record company moved to its downtown Detroit headquarters.
