Conclusion
I was suppose to be doing a record label during the time of Motown, but I was unable to find a label. I have always loved Motown and figured I would do one of their artist. This record label created many great artists we know and love today. After research of this artist and record company I grew a greater appreciation for both. I feel it is important for everyone to learn about the era of Motown. Believe it or not Motown is still around just not the same as how it first started.
