OUR MOTOWN HERITAGE
At Recording Institute of Detroit

   "Of all of the great musical epicenters, perhaps Detroit is one of the largest in American History - you've got everything, Jazz, Gospel, Pop [and] R&B with Motown.  You got a great rock & roll coming out of there, not just in the 60's but all the up to the present era, and of course Hip Hop. Among the Motown Artists that show up here [The Grammy Museum], is Stevie Wonder...as a solo performing artist, male, he's won more Grammys than anyone else." -Roman Blanquart / DFO The Grammy Museum, 2008
