Whether a long-time fan or listening to this music for the first time, the show offers a way to experience a period in this country's past that produced many of the greatest music acts ever recorded, including The Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, and The Supremes. Masters of Motown's dynamic vocalists are backed by a band of seasoned musicians who have been performing together for decades.
