The Millionaire's Mistake That Made Motown Magic
from The Second Track · host Podcaster
Berry Gordy's desperate attempt to save money on studio rent led him to buy a rundown house on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit. What he didn't know was that the bizarre acoustics of that cramped basement—with its low ceilings and concrete walls—would accidentally create the most recognizable sound in pop music history. We explore how architectural flaws became sonic gold. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
