When Motown Records burst onto the scene, it changed popular music forever. This show celebrates the iconic songs, stories, and surprising connections between Motown stars and music legends. With fresh takes on classics like “Tracks of My Tears,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” and “Stop in the Name of Love,” it explores Motown’s legacy — enriched by personal accounts of collaborations with Smokey Robinson, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, and James Taylor.
