One name says it all. James jamerson. There will never be another. Him and ruffin together were the greatest of all time. I could and do listen to them constantly.
I have friends family who live right across the street. I’ve been able to spend time there and after all this time the energy is electric. I love Detroit. It’s so magical- history everywhere. It’s such a mistreated misunderstood city.
I’m from Detroit. Proud of my city, and I appreciate how so many great legends came out of that town. No other artists can ever compare to the Motown legends.
@Franny Sure thing. They get people from all over the world. They`re expanding the museum and it looks like they`ll be shut down till the summer of 2022. www.motownmuseum.org/ www.motownmuseum.org/about/expansion/
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Aryan Alijah thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Born in 1958 so grew up on this stuff. The documentary "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" is a must for Motown fans, who've hopefully seen it already. Also James Jamerson, what an incredible bassist.
Motown was my era, I have driven by Hitsville U.S.A. many times but never stopped in, but you have inspired me to do so. As I age, let a Motown record be played and I'm a sixteen year old all over again dancing with my grandchildren! Thanks Jordan. (Thank you for the beautiful postcard)
I went to Hitsville in 2015, and it was hands down one of the greatest experiences of my life. The tour of the museum and Barry's home were unbelievable! When they opened the door to the studio I couldn't believe they actually allowed you to stand in it. I had tears in my eyes. The coolest part of all was our tour guide, he was actually Stevie Wonders Godson, true story. So happy you got to experience the tour. Love the video, thanks for sharing.
I did I lived on Seward btw 12th and John C.Lodge Blvd and remember vividly seeing acts in the neighborhood getting their hair done preparing for shows
Awesome video! Nothing will ever surpass Motown music. Jordan, glad to see a young person like yourself appreciate the era of Motown. Maybe I'll get to visit Hitsville one day. What a dream!
Jordan, this vlog, is iconic! You were the perfect Historian to give us this tour! Smokey & the Supremes were kids who grew up in the Brewster Projects! Smokey started writing songs as a kid! Florence was the one who got Mary and Diane; which was Diana's real name, together to form their group! I have heard some very good stories, growing up from my Dad! All of his Artist, would sing on each one's records or be the Receptionist! Aretha Franklin and her family moved there when she was 4 or 5! They lived in a Mansion due; to her father Rev. C.L. Franklin; being a Famous Minister! I love all of their music and each song, makes me either, feel amazing, fall in love; but never feel sad! 💕🎶🎹🎶💕
I noticed that the Artists from the early years that really put Motown on the map are never mentioned in these documentaries, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight are always mentioned first rather than The Marvelettes, Mary Wells, The Contours, Marv Johnson, Junior Walker and the Allstars; they all laid the blueprint for future artists.
We're from Australia , We visited The Motown Museum in August this year - Loved the tour of the place - We were riding the Q line tram back to downtown where the tram conductor told us of a block party the city was putting on that afternoon - We went to the party - They gave us free food and drinks and free entertainment - The Temptations took the stage and played for about a half hour - WOW what a day .
Jordan this was really awesome for me because my Uncle James Garrett was a bass player for the Supremes and their road mgr when they went to play for the Queen of Englad! Close to the end of the vlog there was a picture of him standing out side. Thanks so much for the memories.
How wonderful to see where alot of singing sensations happened!!! Love this. Marvin Gaye was one of my favorites. Jah is so precious as always. The rental car deal reminded me of an episode on Seinfeld. Unbelievable. Thank you Jordan!! Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤❤
In the 60s I was still in Elementary school, but loved the Motown sound. I grew up listening to all the stuff from the 50s like Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Motown, Beatles, The Dells, Delphonics, Roy Orbison, the Doors and all in between. All the music back then was the greatest in history. So much variety because so many groups had their own unique sound, and you could actually sing along. Music was cool, cars were cool. The hits just being pumped out week after week after week. by the late 70 and early 80s things were changing for the worse. Disco then hip hop and rap, its been spiraling down ever since to what we have today which is basically nothing.
Thanks for sharing this video. All other videos of the Motown studio that I've seen only ever seem to show the front of the Hitsville building and a short glimpse of Studio A. You spend time looking around the studio and also show Hitsville in the context of the other surrounding buildings which really helps place it in a geographical context.
I recently found your page and this video, I lived in Detroit my whole life and (sadly) have never taken the tour. I found out some months ago they have purchased those houses you pointed out they used to own once again and will be extending the museum so you might have to take another trip to check that out when it’s finished. Oh and I love the channel, keep up the great work!
Xlnt Vlog about Motown!! What a genius Berry was! One slight correction: it was Martha and the Vandellas that were singing on the 1965 Mustang production line. Pretty awesome to see the video on Utube, never would be done today, really reflected the optimism of the era!! In the late 70's I went to Berry's Homby Hills home for a service call. As my friend and I arrived at the back gate, I remember 2 well dressed men, with suits on, seemingly stepped out of the hillside bushes, to verify that were were legitimately called there for business. I got the impression that they were packin' some serious firepower hidden in their suits. We went there on 2 separate occasions, and got the same reaction, (or check out), by the well-tailored security crew! I never once saw Berry though!!
Awesome history of the best music ever! That music was born during my early teen years and everytime I hear a Motown song I am thrown back to the 1950's!! Thanks, Jordan! Huggies to Jahster! 🤗
Jordan, You never cease to amaze me! Oh how much I enjoyed that visit to Motown. I hope you write a book some day of all your travelsm. You don't know how much of a blessing you are to others. Always a gentleman ... you got it all. Thanks. Franny P.
Oh, you hit a diamond mine here, Jordan. I started HS in 1965. I would walk in to the corner spa and the jukebox would be playing My Girl and Stop In The Name Of Love. My life was Motown and the Beatles. Love Smokey. Thank you Jordan! ❤️
I love Motown music. The Temptations are one of the best groups I've heard ever but there are so many many other awesome group and songs that from Motown. I love Motown music.
Its crazy how the entire business is just in the open in a normal neighborhood, that could never happen today, it had to be fans always in front of the studio asking for autographs and im surprised they didnt get robbed
Living so close to Detroit and loving Motown music I have never visited Hitsville, USA. Thank you for bringing this to us. I will definitely have to go and take the tour. The Uniroyal tire on I-94 has a fascinating history. It might be worth a vlog! Take care
Absolutely love Motown music! So excited to watch this vlog! I grew up listening to it with my parents. And Jah, I’d be the same way if I didn’t get to go to Hitsville USA, but I’m sure ur dad told u all about it☺️ great one Jordan!! ❤️❤️
Hi Jordan, I live in Michigan, and I have also lived in Detroit, I've seen hitsville USA several times, and I never once went inside. But think it's going to happen this summer, thanks for an awesome video.☺
I agreed with you mom concerning smokey's music for a long ! looong time!! then i watched the Temptations movie..and he sung at Melvins funeral...i think it;s called my friend...that made me a fan!! let your mom hear that song she may change her mind! 🙂
I"M SO MUCH A MOTOWN FAN ,JUST VISIT THE MUSEUM FOR MY BIRTHDAY, JULY 30,2020, I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF YOU CAN FEEL THE HISTORY OF MOTOWN SOUND, JUST BEING IN THE CITY.!! ANOTHER CHECK OFF ON MY BUCKET LIST!!! THANKS FOR SHARING .
I am jealous, and so happy for you all at once, this is also on my bucket list. Yes I know this is an old blog. But thank you. Makes me want to go even more!! Awesome video!!
I have great memories of being there with Fred Gorman started in 1961 when Fred and I were mailmen working at the same PO, There on many occasions with him, which lead to me being the Originals rd mgr, because of him. We were a team I was his #1 fan..I miss my Brother dearly...
It’s crazy to think that I’m from Michigan ! A state with so many musical talents that was born. I’m not from Detroit but it’s so mind boggling to think that there’s a city in my state with SO much history of all aspects. ESPCIALLY music! Literally the music city. As a hardcore fan of music of all genres I only wish I was a teenager at those times around Motown..that had to be amazing to be surrounded by so many people had a desire to do music. I love my state and that city! Very proud to be from Michigan. Were you able to go up stairs? To Barry’s apartment?
In the U.K their early stuff was on Stateside records and then later after a lot of hits it changed to Tamla Motown, I am a huge Motown fan, I have every 7 inch record release from the start right through to the early eighties, thanks for this Jordan
Wow Jordan! Loved this vlog! Motown the home of the hits! I loved all of the music you mentioned. The Supremes were my first favorite group. How can your mother not like that sexy voice of Smokey Robinson? What an amazing history place and time! Just Wow! I will be sharing this video! I grew up on this music and still love to listen to it. Thank you so much Jordan! You are the best!
Thank you for your recording. My mom told me that it was common knowledge in those days Diana had the weakest voice and she also charmed Barry gordy. They were also dating. The show dream girls was based off of the real story.
I used to pass Motown three days a week going to band rehearsal. I play Blackened Deathcore but I love my Motown & Oldies. I usually listen to the radio on the way & almost every time I'm getting closer to passing Motown a Michael Jackson song comes on. That's definitely a sigh. Thank you for all these videos. Now I take care of my 80 year old dad 24/7 who has a bad stroke in 2020 . Both of us are enjoying your videos every day.
I been getting my hair done at Harold's place right across the street my Whole life!!! Adults and Kids go there!!! Harold's sings and dances really good and Evelyn does the best fingerwaves in the world
I am so pleased for you today Jordan. You bring us a special day every day and today you had a bucket list one that you really wanted. I really enjoyed this aswell as I love Motown, but, I am so glad that you has an extra special day aswell. Loved all the old photos outside the studio. Have a safe journey back. Brilliant vlog Jordan.
My first album was a collaboration album of all the Motown artists Hitsville U.S.A. I still have it ! We were able to see The Temptations a few years ago in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. They were still great!
Wow Jordan, that was an awesome tour!! Like you, I love Motown, my favorite music and it was such a treat to see where it all started! It's hard to believe that they created so much iconic music in such humble surroundings! Goes to show you the talent of those artists, they had such basic instruments and tools to make such beautiful music, not like all the electronic stuff today! To think that Berry Gordy lived upstairs to the studios is unreal too, just imagine all those amazing singers and celebrities who went through that door! Thanks Jordan, this was amazing! Jah looked so handsome in his little jacket, he's like a seasoned jetsetter.... Great traveler!
WOW!!!!!!! Motown ! My favorite kind of music of all time. Lived in Vegas and I saw the 4 tops the temptation the stylistics tins turner and last but not least Diana Ross my favorite!! And so many others. Omg what a treat this vlog is Jordan! Thank you soooo much. I am on the 4th time watching this video over and over and taking in every bit of every thing that is inside that place 😍 thank you Jordan!!!!!!!!!! Big hugs for you and jah. Man your the best 😀
I rode in the Uniroyal ferris wheel tire at the NY Worlds fair in 1965 when I was a kid. We drove to NY to attend the fair. At the time we had a 1962 Oldsmobile 98.
Actually it was Martha and the Vandellas who were in the factory making the video you mentioned Jordan. I hope to go see this myself one day soon. Thank you for sharing your video!
Wow so great another fab vlog Jordan! I just LOVE Motown too...I'm soooooo glad you are into the old school stuff,thanks Jordan's mom .......Jah is so dang cute
Nice video. Wasn't Detroit where records really got its start and popularity. Anyhow so many famous performers came through here but I feel Stevie Wonder was the best one. I plan to visit Hitsville now. Thanks
I live in Michigan now been here about two years had a great opportunity to go to Detroit to see Huntsville USA had a great experience but didn't go inside took quite a few pictures but unfortunately when I had to switch my phone I couldn't get the pictures to be saved but I stay about an hour away from Detroit right now but I'm still going to try to get there to take more pictures and do a visit of the museum
One name says it all. James jamerson. There will never be another. Him and ruffin together were the greatest of all time. I could and do listen to them constantly.

How exciting it would be to have lived around that neighborhood in those days. Thank you for bringing Motown to us!!
I did I lived on Seward btw 12th and John C.Lodge Blvd and remember vividly seeing acts in the neighborhood getting their hair done preparing for shows
@@sandrahavis2425 wow! you are lucky. Those are memories you never forget.
@@sandrahavis2425 amazing😍😍
Motown is my favorite. I remember all the lyrics. The 60s is my favorite years for music.
My parents took me to see the temptations, the four tops, righteous brothers, and multiple other musicians. This place is on my bucket list. Thank you
This was of course in the mid 80's and early 90's
You'll love it. I went all the way from England! Worth every second of the flight!!!
This is Jordan’s best vlog. In my humble opinion. 👍🏾
I agree 👍👍👍👍
Hitsville USA was an amazing place, I'm so happy I got to see it! Thank you, Jordan.

The house next door to the motown house....whoever lived there at that time in the 60's would be seeing so many stars everyday
Wow. Wonderful!!!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing the magic of Motown. Shout out to Berry Gordy, Jr.’s sister who preserved Hitsville, USA as it would have been in 1972!
I noticed that the Artists from the early years that really put Motown on the map are never mentioned in these documentaries, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight are always mentioned first rather than The Marvelettes, Mary Wells, The Contours, Marv Johnson, Junior Walker and the Allstars; they all laid the blueprint for future artists.
Cool dishing on Motown. This year , Jordan has been a Rolling Stone wherever he lays his hat is his home. A Traveling man.
We're from Australia ,
We visited The Motown Museum in August this year - Loved the tour of the place - We were riding the Q line tram back to downtown where the tram conductor told us of a block party the city was putting on that afternoon - We went to the party - They gave us free food and drinks and free entertainment - The Temptations took the stage and played for about a half hour - WOW what a day .

When I was a teenager in the 60's Motown put out many hits!! Enjoyed this and thanks as always, Jordan.
Excellent, excellent, excellent Jordan! You did an exceptional job covering the history of Motown! Love your t-shirt too!
I was there last year. We had a great tour guide.

I appreciate the comment
I’m surprised they allowed you filmed inside the museum. Museum is breath taking! I love Detroit
They wouldnt allow me to do it!
Incredible - thanks for posting. I had no idea the studio was preserved and open to the public.
I’m a Motown fan too ! Thank you Jordan

There's no better music story than Motown!
Awesome history of the best music ever! That music was born during my early teen years and everytime I hear a Motown song I am thrown back to the 1950's!! Thanks, Jordan! Huggies to Jahster! 🤗

The music they made didn’t provoke that type of energy
Thank you for this. I ended up crying.
I wonder what the neighbours thought about the music. I didn't realise it was in a residential area.
Personally I would of loved it.
Amazing piece of music history! Thank you❤
I’m so glad that you can cross an item off your list! Historical sites are always so interesting. Great job!
Raised on the music of Motown... Thank You 👌
Aww the speaker narrator is handsome aww!
it was so nice and exciting when i visited the Museum!! just to know I actually stood in a place that created so many stars!!!
It is such a powerful feeling standing in that studio...I need to go back!

Cool place, lots of music history in michigan.
Motown music is great! My brother saw the Superemes in Detriot in '65 and got to meet them.

Thank god it's turned into a museum!! It's history and can't be touched. I love seeing Jah!!
The Motown sound is timeless. Thanks Jordan for a special tour!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thanks for posting, I always wanted to go there and see inside the place. True music history right there.
Wow Jordan! Loved this vlog! Motown the home of the hits! I loved all of the music you mentioned. The Supremes were my first favorite group.

I grew up on this music and still love to listen to it. Thank you so much Jordan! You are the best!
They way he talked was so compassionate
I like places that are a time capsule. Really cool.
Thank you for your recording. My mom told me that it was common knowledge in those days Diana had the weakest voice and she also charmed Barry gordy. They were also dating. The show dream girls was based off of the real story.
They sure did and her oldest daughter Rhonda, is Berry's!Berry, was married at the time!😳
I used to pass Motown three days a week going to band rehearsal. I play Blackened Deathcore but I love my Motown & Oldies. I usually listen to the radio on the way & almost every time I'm getting closer to passing Motown a Michael Jackson song comes on. That's definitely a sigh. Thank you for all these videos.

Killer vid. My dad played with, and was tight with the "Tops" n "Tempts", when I was a kid. Cheers.
Loved it!...The first record album I bought at 12 y/o was The Greatest Hits of the Temptations...I can't wait to visit!
Awesome vlog! It was great seeing the legendary Hitsville USA and Studio A where that distinct Motown sound was created!! Berry Gordy was a genius!!!
Wow Jordan, that was an awesome tour!! Like you, I love Motown, my favorite music and it was such a treat to see where it all started!

I rode in the Uniroyal ferris wheel tire at the NY Worlds fair in 1965 when I was a kid. We drove to NY to attend the fair. At the time we had a 1962 Oldsmobile 98.
Yesterday a block in LA was named Berry Gordy Square & his 90th birthday is Thursday Thanksgiving November 28, 2019.
Thanks for sharing. Classic artists. They don't make them like that anymore. You had me at Marvin Gaye & I love the music of the legendary Mary Wells
Awesomeness. I grew up during the era of Motown. Thanks for sharing.
Actually it was Martha and the Vandellas who were in the factory making the video you mentioned Jordan. I hope to go see this myself one day soon. Thank you for sharing your video!
Wow so great another fab vlog Jordan! I just LOVE Motown too...I'm soooooo glad you are into the old school stuff,thanks Jordan's mom .......Jah is so dang cute
We need more recognitions, to the stars, from MI. 👍😁📀
Nice video. Wasn't Detroit where records really got its start and popularity. Anyhow so many famous performers came through here but I feel Stevie Wonder was the best one. I plan to visit Hitsville now. Thanks
Detroit got so much dope history. I explore as much as I can lol
Great video of home of the wonderful music of my heyday. Also, loved Mildred's ad!
Passed by the Uniroyal SO many times going to my aunt’s house in Grosse Pointe. Dad’s from the Detroit area and I was born in Royal Oak
Great Jordan did you hear it On the grapevine. I really like your vlog's . I hope you and Jah are well.
I live in Michigan now been here about two years had a great opportunity to go to Detroit to see Huntsville USA had a great experience but didn't go inside took quite a few pictures but unfortunately when I had to switch my phone I couldn't get the pictures to be saved but I stay about an hour away from Detroit right now but I'm still going to try to get there to take more pictures and do a visit of the museum
Hitsville, not Huntsville.
This is my era of music, I learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of your Vlog!!.
Thanks for the video. I will be visiting in September,2022. I'll write back with my experience.
