Living just north of Detroit most of my life i naturally have Motown music running thru my veins since the early 60's. Nothing beats it. So much undiscovered history in Detroit and so much fantastic music that was born there.
I’m a retired celebrity hairstylist. All of the Motown singers and other celebrities got their hair done by us, including Smoky and his wife Claudette. Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Jackson Five, and the list goes on. Amazing times! Seventies and 80’s 😌💙💙 “Clifford’s Salon” West Hollywood California.
@@momoftwins8440 That's a point, but if u could do an online research of musicians who were either born or raised in Detroit u would be surprised at the numbers. I rate Philly as Detroit's biggest rival
Just think about the Detroit artist who WERE NOT a part of Motown. Aretha Franklin Anita Baker The Dramatics The Spinners Ray Parker Jr Al Hudson and One Way Alicia Myers Alliyah Keith Washington Earl Klugh Donald Byrd Cherelle Carl Carlton The Jones Girls Dwelle Kem Kim Horne The Winans The Clarke Sisters Fred Hammond Deitrick Haddon Jackie Wilson I could go on and on
Idk why it happened, but when I was a child my family went to see Smokey Robinson with front row seats. My mother, and Aunts brought him roses and he invited the family backstage. That was the beginning of a crazy childhood for me and my cousins. Smokey became friends with the family. Vip to all concerts on the east coast, flew us out to his mansion in LA numerous times. Threw birthday parties for me and my cousins on stage at his concerts and we met and hung out with all the greats of motown. It was really pretty crazy. It's been a few years, I am 43 now and my cousins older, since speaking with Smokey, but I have to say that him and Berry Gordy are really good people, and treated my family(white family) like family for many years. We actually just found all the pictures of my 10th "Cruisin" (favorite Smokey song), on stage the other day.
@@kathy1001 for 9 years my partner, at work, always used to laugh at me and say that I was joking. Although I know deep down he was just messing with me, and then my mother found those pictures of the cruisin(song) 10th birthday cake/party on stage at a concert and I finally got to show him. He said that it was a Smokey Robinson wax figure on a stage. Lol, again just messing around. That day was 3 decades ago and it has been about 5 years since I, or my family have spoken to him or Berry unfortunately, don't know why. But growing up it definitely was a fun childhood experience.
@@SCOTTONTAPE anytime man. Although that was basically the extent of my celebrity experience in life. Lol. The best experience to me, aside from the birthday on stage, was actually my cousins and me sitting with Whitney Houston front row at an outdoor Frank Sinatra concert in Ballys Grand Atlantic City(gone now) and actually meeting Frank for just a few minutes after the concert. I am Italian, lol.
I have always loved Motown music and always will. You certainly got around town seeing these beautiful old buildings and homes! Thank you for your dedication showing us around Scotty!
Since you filmed this a lot has happened at the Motown Museum. There is a multi-million dollar expansion going on. It is going to be fabulous. Thanks for your positive vibes about Detroit.
Good job Scott! That whole neighborhood where Marvin is full of celebrity homes. Aaliyha, Big Sean, Francis Capolla, Jerry Bruckheimer, most of the Four Tops, Proof of D12, Swifty of D12, Uncle Sam, Holland and Dozier, The Winans, Clark Sisters, Barry Hankerson, Eddie Kendricks, Wilson Pickett and many more all in walking distance from Marvin house.
@@SCOTTONTAPE Motown money your a cool dude I was born in Detroit and you're making me even more prouder of where I'm from thanks for this wonderful video bro Motown money in effect!!! :)
Or The Supremes, Diana Ross as a solo artist, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson with the Miracles and solo, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, etc.
I read a story last year about the new owners of the Berry Gordy mansion. The guys who bought it moved from San Francisco and got it for 1.65 million dollars.The real estate market in Detroit was really depressed and they got a real bargain. They said photos and paintings that belonged to Berry were left in the house and one is of him with Michael Jackson and it's still hanging in the pool house.Awesome video.. Thanks for sharing.
Never understood people leaving pictures and items behind in a home that's for sale. I've seen homes where it looks like the people moved in the middle of the night and just left everything!!!
@@momoftwins8440 They use the old house as a dumpster. In Berry Gordy's case he still owned the home after he and Motown relocated to California and the pictures were still in the home. A lady in Detroit reached out to him about selling her the house which he agreed to do. And the Motown items stayed with the house.
@@momoftwins8440 When Berry Gordy moved to California he didn't put the house up for sale so items were left with it. He owed it for years and just never bothered to take his belongings out
@@Rockzilla404 It's easy to forget about things you own if you never see them. Especially when your older. I was going through boxes that I haven't been through in years and I was surprised I had forgotten what I had put away. My treasures.
I remember in 1977 when I was 16 and my cousin lived on Boston Blvd in Detroit and I attended her house parties. A time when house parties were safe and fun!
What a great era for music. Reminds me of the golden age of Hollywood around the same time. Just imagine how good the music and food would have been at those parties at the mansion. Great job, Motown Money! ✌️🎙️
MOTOWN !!!!!! I had tons of 45’s of these famous Artist !! I’m now 60 yrs old .. but all my 45’s r at my parents home … still to day along with my stereo !
I love Motown, brings back so many good memories. We had this small record store down the street called The Experience, and I would go there with my older sister to buy 45 records. They would always play some great music in there, usually Motown. Early 1970s, my best friend (who only owned two albums at the time), would ask me do you want to listen to the Osmonds or the Jackson 5, we would look at each other and say, the Jackson 5 😁
Don't forget that Motown moved to a building that was torn down long ago. Many of the buildings on West Grand Blvd. were rented by various artists and company employees, but Gordy never owned Cole Funeral Home, which is a 100-year-old family business and one of the oldest Black-owned businesses in the state.
I grew up around this area attended Mumford high School. I just turned 59 September 15th. Although I'm not the same age as they are, I grew up listening to their music
I did a home inspection in Detroit last year across the street from a lady claiming to be Aretha Franklin's best friend. She could've been. Or she was just some lady standing on the porch to the house I was working on that she didn't live in while dressed in her robe and slippers at 11 am. Either way, totally entertaining
Motown gave us great musicians and music, I am so grateful that I was born in 1962, as I grew up with so many of songs from Motown. I listen to the Motown channel on the radio, dangerous while driving as I start dancing in my car! :-)
I Love Motown, youngest of 7 and grew up listening to 45s my brothers and sister would dance to. I know how hard their lives ended and miss those days, music will never die!
Back in the day, Me and my folks would go to Detroit, Too see a lot of the Motown stars homes back in the day. it was pretty cool and then we moved here to Central Florida 41 years ago. And i miss those days.
MOTOWN!! Some of my fav stuff Scott! It never gets old to me, it’s classic. Loved this, as always well done and a huge Thank-you!!!! Yoooo kid rock….go buy this building and do something with it!!! Lol Loved all the song references you used!
I have been a huge Motown fan my entire life. My dad would always play me Diana Ross and the supremes. Who are probably my favorite Motown artists. I was lucky enough to visit here back in November 2021. It was during the expansion so a fence was up and we couldn’t go up to steps and get close but just being there was very special to me. Fun fact my grandma was also named Martha Reeves when she married my grandfather. There’s just so much to love and appreciate about Motown. All the artists voices were very powerful to listen to. Great video Motown Money!!
When I say I was here in Nov 2021 I do mean visiting the Motown museum aka Hitsville USA! :) it would be awesome to visit some of the artists homes as well. The Barry Gordy mansion is beautiful.
Wow, what a great video! I must confess that I didn’t know about the other recording studio. I’d watch your 3 hour version of the homes tour! Keep em coming! Thanks!
@@janadeubner9883 I don't remember the first song I heard as I was five I just remembered the old floor model stero pumping out Jackson 5 temptations the Supremes.
You nailed it again Scott. Awesome video, Motown will always be Motown. The first time I ever heard of that name was through Michael Jackson's fame. I never thought someone would do a video on this and it had to be you. Thank you Scott. This was one amazing video I enjoyed.
Only been to Detroit once when hubby and I went to a Tigers/Indians game at Tiger Stadium! Was a great experience but now I just want to go and tour the city and see some of these locations, we both love Motown and we're missing so much. Thank you Scott for this amazing vlog.
Thank You Scott for this !!! Marvin Gaye & Smokey Robinson are my favorite old school singers … R&B music used to be hitting back in the day, at age 33 I got an Old Soul an I must admit they don’t even make music like this anymore.
Loved this post. Growing up just across the Detroit River. So much rich history. Thanks for bringing this. I have AM 580 CKWW the motor city playing at work as we speak.
VERY interesting!! Motown was the cats meow. So many talented artists and great songs came out of Detroit. I listen to so many of them on the oldies but goodies channel when I'm driving on fairly long trips. Thanks so much for this!! 🙂
Another killer vlid Scott. My dad owned a bunch of bars, in Detroit and Windsor. (CHAPEAU VERTE,CAFE AVION ROUGE AND THE MEETING PLACE) And my mom owned a chain of beauty and barbershop, on both Detroit and Windsor, called Mary Jane's on Murray Hill. They were both really tight, with Aretha, the Tops, Tempts and Marvin Gaye. Cheers from SpoCanada.
Thank you for showing these locations. The city of Detroit is such an amazing place & the people are so welcoming. There is so much history & this city is being revitalized. Take care.
@@SCOTTONTAPE You’re very welcome. I enjoy your channel & love that you help promote others who are starting out on UA-cam. Thank you for being kind & just being you. Take care.
I love all your videos Scott , Especially Detroit , I visited Motown a few yrs back on my birthday , Also visited the cemetery that Aretha and many other Artists / Automotive , and Rosa Parks are buried , Love ya Scott !
Former Chicagoan, visited Detroit a few times, seen Hitsville...No doubt Detroit used to be rolling. These beautiful structures were built!!! Imagine the winters they have gone thru. Great video. great Motown history. Now I want a FO-FO, a coney, and a top hat...
@@karenjewell6543 FO-Fo was a colossal, corned beef sandwich served in a restaurant at 19166 Livernois in Detroit. Research indicates that the owner died of coronavirus in 2020 and that the restaurant is no longer.
That's why I love watching your channel Stott , you love my city Detroit and you did videos on my favorite martial artist Bruce Lee. Thank you for showing us ❤ love.
At one time one of the Marvelettes was a secretary under my Mom, At the old Wayne County General Hospital in Westland, Mi the Marvalettes were a group from Inkster, Michigan right across the street from the hospital.
Scott - I’ve learned that Jackie Wilson also boxed there as a young teen . Met Barry there & not much later I believe wrote Lonely Teardrops for Jackie . Appreciate all your hard work !! Be Safe !
I'd say kill me now if I got to stand in front of Hitsville USA artists like Smokey Robinson Stevie Wonder Temptations Supremes I liked Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell even David Ruffin when he left the Temptations when he had a solo career.Great video much love
WoW!! Thank you. I don't think I ever really sat down and thought we're they lived. I loved learning the history of the Great Detroit still. I truly enjoyed it ☺
@BohemianPrincess it has always been bad and it's NOT on a comeback. I had to laugh at the man filming this saying while panning the camera around Brewster projects area, that junk has been left there for decades. Motown will always be the best music to me, but there are certain blocks that still have nice houses, your kids can't attend public school and you may get car jacked. But he's right, (a few) old houses on Outer dr, Boston Edison district, (maybe ) Palmer Park, Sherwood Forest where homes are big and always costly still exist. But the blight and crime surrounding them not livable to me. And yes I have been inside some of them. The person who bought Berry Gordys mansion better stay there forever, because I cannot foresee in the near future that home selling for a profit. Just giving you honesty.

I think it was because the label was there. There were a lot of talented folks out of Philly too.

Thanks for the awesome video scott/Motown money
Great video, Scott. We're always glad to have you here in The D!
Love these Detroit videos!! I'm glad things are improving there. I've never been, but always heard it was bad.
Been here all my life. It's getting better but not quick enough.
@BohemianPrincess it has always been bad and it's NOT on a comeback. I had to laugh at the man filming this saying while panning the camera around Brewster projects area, that junk has been left there for decades. Motown will always be the best music to me, but there are certain blocks that still have nice houses, your kids can't attend public school and you may get car jacked. But he's right, (a few) old houses on Outer dr, Boston Edison district, (maybe ) Palmer Park, Sherwood Forest where homes are big and always costly still exist. But the blight and crime surrounding them not livable to me. And yes I have been inside some of them. The person who bought Berry Gordys mansion better stay there forever, because I cannot foresee in the near future that home selling for a profit. Just giving you honesty.
The best part of being a new sub is 1)Getting to know Scott 2) hours of kick ass content in countless catagories👏
AWSOME VIDEO SCOTT AS ALWAYS🔥🔥🔥🔥
