A visit to America’s northern soul.
Visit Hitsville USA. It has to be on the wish list for many fans of Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, The Four Tops, The Isley Brothers and Stevie Wonder. Sorry if I forgot to mention your favourite artists.
A modest house situated in an unremarkable neighborhood became a hub for creating music that would move people and change attitudes. Berry Gordy had a great gift for recruiting and nurturing talented young artists into world stars.
The house is packed with memorabilia, photographs and items of interest. Visitors travel from all over the world to feel the vibes and see where the sounds were made. The guide who showed my party around was friendly and informative, and of course, we had to sing. However the highlight was being invited into the recording studio which is incredibly tiny.
It is hard to believe that such a small room produced so many big hits.
Unmissable
