The essence of Motown creates a wonderment of joy and

happiness in the hearts and mind for multiple generations.

David Ruffin the former lead singer of the Temptations once

said, “I want my grandchildren to be able to sing

my music.”

The “Divas of Detroit Tribute to the Motown

Divas” exudes that exact sentiment in the bases

of their performances. Authentic Detroit divas

from the Motor city Metropolitan area will heat

up the stage to create the essence of Motown

magic through song and dance. The record

company’s motto is that they were the “Sound Of

Young America”, and 50 years later a new

generation is honoring that legacy in tribute.

The Detroit divas are seasoned professionals

with a collective body of over 60 years of experience. With that amount of talent

on the stage, you will marvel in the music arrangement and

performance quality. This 2-hour creation is the

cornerstone of Motor city excellence. The production even

includes authentic Detroit musicians that currently perform

with original Motown artists. What makes this show

extraordinary is the fact that every entertainer is from the

Detroit area, the actual birthplace

of Motown Record Company.

Relax and enjoy the montage of pictures and information

compiled to tell the story of the Detroit Divas adventure

into the history of the matriarchs of Motown. We think

this promotional compilation has the essence of what you

as a client need as a true representation of the Motown

Sound.
