With Motown Records celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Free Press went for the gold. Our staff traveled literally coast to coast uncovering the histories behind the history, seeking out the stories — and stars — that demonstrate the label’s continued relevance. The results are unveiled beginning today with the first two of our Motown video vignettes. A new video will premiere on freep.com each Monday, Wednesday and Friday until we hit 50.
