DETROIT – A recording studio where Berry Gordy cut a record that led the way to the Motown music dynasty is raising money for a historical marker.
United Sound Systems was recently designated a historic structure by the Detroit Historic Commission.
The building where United Sound Systems is housed was made into a studio in 1933. Aretha Franklin, George Clinton and his colleagues in Parliament and Funkadelic, and Miles Davis were some of the major artists who recorded at the studio.
