Stevie Wonder And Aretha Franklin Celebrate Motown's 50th!

Stevie Wonder will headline a special gala concert to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Motown Records.

Wonder, who joined Berry Gordy's fledgling label at the age of 11 in 1961, will take to the stage at Detroit's GM Renaissance Center on November 21 for an evening of music that's also set to feature Aretha Franklin, Otis Williams and The Temptations.

The two-night affair, entitled Live It Again!, will include tributes to fallen Motown legends Michael Jackson, the Four Tops' Levi Stubbs and producer/songwriter Norman Whitfield.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated to the Motown Historical Museum which is currently located on the site of the label's original Hitsville U.S.A headquarters.

For more information and details of how to buy tickets, jump over to www.motownmuseum.com.
