Stevie Wonder, 1970's. Signed by Motown Records at age 11.
Is there a cultural connection between the Mottowners and Motown Records?
Are there legends of the Gordy Family? An ancient royal line long extinct. Or maybe even the Jacksons and how they inherit the Kingdom of Rock from the Presley's. There's also The Queen Bee, said to have married into the Gordy's.
I know that the Mottowners are called such as their from Detroit, the Motor City or Motor Town. I want to know if they would have myths about the ancient kingdom they once belonged to?
Thoughts?
This is my record collection plus two and a half more little cubies. I collect just about everything: jazz, metal, hip-hop, 60s French pop, classical, dad-rock, Motown, funk, etc. I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite record if my life depended on it. I'm slowly learning to spin, but we'll see lol
