Motown is an American record label owned by the Universal Music Group.
It was founded by Berry Gordy Jr. as Tamla Records in 1959 and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation the following year.
Its name, a portmanteau of motor and town, has become a nickname for Detroit, where the label was originally headquartered.
Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as an African American-owned label that achieved crossover success.
In the 1960s, Motown and its subsidiary labels presented a style of soul music with a mainstream pop appeal.
Motown was the most successful soul music label; during the 1960s, Motown achieved 79 records in the top-10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
