2648 West Grand Boulevard was every Soul
Fan's introduction to Musical Geography!
For Northern Soul fans,
however, Detroit was also about Golden World on West
Davison. This was
certainly the location which sparked my interest in this
amazing City. As I
began to chart the addresses associated with the music
industry, I became aware of an incredible story. In
this first database, I would like to concentrate on the
Studios which peppered the city. Most
of the detail has come from the Yellow Pages of
the era and I acknowledge the help of the Detroit Public
Library for very kindly copying the necessary pages and
forwarding them to me so many miles away. Thanks also
to Graham Finch for additionally supplying years 1960 and
1962. Within the
database is a column which shows the extent of the
advertising of the companies involved. That detail runs from
1960 through to 1967. Other studios
are also included, such as Tower which I believe was post
1969. Any help with
gaps or errata will be gratefully received.
Finally, under no
circumstances must this detail be reproduced without
permission.
Notes thanks to David Meikle.
