Episode description as stored

Before Motown became a musical empire, it was a scrappy little record label in Detroit with big dreams, limited resources, and something to prove. In this episode, Will Anderson explores how that happened with help from Otis Williams, founding member of the Temptations, to step inside the early days of Hitsville, USA—the people, the music, the ambition, and the magic that changed American culture forever.
