Motown (Motor Town) Records, one of the most influential record labels in the history of soul music, celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2009.

The label, originally called Tamla (Tamla Motown), was founded by songwriter and businessman Berry Gordy in the US city of Detroit. Motown is an abbreviation for "Motor Town" what stands for "Detroit".
He started the label in January 12th 1959, from a studio in his cellar, with an $800 loan from his father.
Berry Gordy sold his ownership in Motown to MCA and Boston Ventures in June 1988 for $61 million.
Today the label is a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.

Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, as it was the first record label owned by an African American to primarily feature African-American artists who achieved crossover success.
In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.
Over the course of its history, the Motown Corporation has owned or distributed more than 45 labels in varying genres. Besides that, Motown Records boasts nearly 200 N^o1 songs worldwide, and has produced stars from Stevie Wonder, Mary Wells and Marvin Gaye to Jr Walker & The All Stars, The Temptations and The Supremes.
In 2009 Motown celebrates its 50th anniversary! STILL ALIVE AND KICKIN'!
