Tamla Motown Records was originally based in Detroit, Michigan. Founded by Berry Gordy as Tamla Records in January 1959, the company was incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in 1960. The name was derived from the words 'motor town', which is nickname for Detroit.
Motown's soul music played an important part in the racial integration of popular music, as it was the first record label to primarily feature African-American artists who achieved crossover success.
