Detroit’s Motown sound gets Royal approval

Tuesday, 11 Mar, 2025 0

Detroit’s fabled musical heritage has taken centre stage once again as Diana Ross, one of Motown’s most iconic stars, is featured on King Charles III’s newly launched playlist.

‘The King’s Music Room’ playlist was released in celebration of Commonwealth Day.

Among the tracks is Ross’s hit ‘Upside Down.’

Diana Ross rose to fame as the lead singer of The Supremes—Motown Records’ most successful female group. Her inclusion on the royal playlist underscores Motown’s timeless impact.

Visitors to Detroit can explore this music legacy firsthand every day of the year at the Motown Museum, located at the historic Hitsville U.S.A. on West Grand Boulevard.

The museum preserves the original recording studio where legends like Diana Ross and Stevie Wonder crafted their hits.

Guests can tour Studio A, see memorabilia from Motown’s golden era, and walk through Berry Gordy Jr.’s former apartment, where Motown’s entrepreneurial spirit was born.

Opened 40 years ago, it remains one of Detroit’s most popular attractions, offering visitors an immersive journey into the history of America’s most influential record label.
