[@Cat-Natural-Law]

Beautiful place...the true America....luv from Ireland..

[@theinternetgavemeaids5393]

Love my city, Detroit should be the where the rock and roll hall of fame is. Anyone ever hear any iconic songs about Cleveland? Didn’t think so..

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

I was there in 1967. Remember it like it happened yesterday.

I am PROUD to be from Detroit ! I was about 6 when the city was on fire broke out. I recall sitting in the back yard watching the sky to the East a beautiful red color. In the 70's I was right there at The Michigan Palace watching 5 bands for 5 bucks. That was the days.

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

I was about the same age. I remember watching Grand River burn from Joy Road almost to Livernois.

It was indeed "The Sound of Young America " at the time, a kid when it had it's heyday it gave us our "Beatles " the Jackson 5, forever greatfull for that.

Yeah an integrated band! Very cool especially for the times.

[@clarkewi]

Don't forget the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Coltrane etc. were all pumping out great product along with Motown. An amazing era.

[@robin2012ism]

oh shut up. we're watching Motown.

[@theinternetgavemeaids5393]

Detroit’s on the rise once more, all while we’re building the best cars in the world again. But I couldn’t tell u how we became so good at music.

[@roberthansen2008]

British Broadcasting Company could do this but our own media could not do this. It's really sad when this type of history is grossly overlooked and not even recognized for their beauty and power that it really is. I had to learn this stuff much later from hanging out with an Old Hippie. And the fact is is this stuff needs to be taught and really talk well

[@dougclendening5896]

Wow, Diana Ross's facial muscle control at 1:47

[@actionfoley917]

[@petersingz196]

[@acevintura5102]

Motown left the motor city in 1972

[@tonywright8302]

[@markwilliams5606]

The Riots the Fires were Shameful! We had to Rescue my cousin's! Along Michigan Ave. Yes. The music seen was Great. Everywhere. Love Detroit! Got so tired of the politics, We moved to the Ozarks.
