One of the greatest music labels in the history of music was the legendary Motown Records out of Detroit. Berry Gordy was the founder of the "Voice of Young America" in the 1960's and 1970's. In a recent interview Smokey Robinson who was a superstar and songwriter for the label discussed the iconic recording industry.

"People used to come from all over the world to recreate that magic, as if they could capture it in the air. But I'll let you into a secret - a lot of Motown hits weren't recorded there! A lot of the time our artists were on the road - in New York, L.A., Chicago, Nashville, sometimes even in London - and we'd book studios in these cities. I'll defy anyone who claims he can identify the songs we recorded outside of Detroit."
