The Detroit Breakdown showcases the spiritual continuum and musical progression that has long served as the hallmark of a true artistic metropolis. When Motown put Detroit on the map, it was with an internationally influential sound best exemplified by pioneering girl group The Velvelettes, who join stirring soul men Melvin Davis and Spyder Turner and wah-wah guitar–slinging funk brother Dennis Coffey in a revue of classic Northern soul, backed by R&B all-stars The Party Stompers. A showman of the first degree, bluesman Eddie Kirkland’s emotion-laden singing and gritty guitar-playing kicks off the day in high style.
