Motown music, also known as "The Motown Sound," is a style of soul music that originated in Detroit, Michigan, in the 1950s and 1960s. It was created by the record label Motown, which was founded by Berry Gordy Jr. in 1959. The label's distinctive sound was characterized by catchy melodies, tight vocal harmonies, and upbeat rhythms, often featuring a horn section and a rhythm section with drums, bass, and guitar. Motown music had a significant impact on popular music in the United States and around the world, and produced many successful and influential artists, such as The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and The Temptations.
