Celebrate African-American Music Appreciation Month with a musical journey to the Motor City… Beginning in the 1960s, it was the "Sound of Young America" sung by performers like The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Using audio and visual content, we'll trace the amazing musical journey from the powerful soul of "Dancing in The Streets" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" to the psychedelic soul of "Cloud Nine" and "What's Going On" to the pop-soul of The Jackson 5.
