#28DaysOfBlackHistory #Day8
Hitsville USA, purchased by Barry Gordy in Detroit 1959 was Motown’s administrative building and recording studio opened 22hrs a day. Legendary artist(s) like Smokey Robinson, The Temptations & The Supremes all cut classics in this place.

Almost seemed like a club house for young black talent that groomed them to be successful instead of prostituting them for the quick dollar like we see so many labels do artists today.

But, I digress… . Hitsville U.S.A has definitely made its mark in black history, or “Is it just my imagination, running away with me?” *See what I did there?*
