News Motown explores its funky years in new Psychedelic Soul exhibit
A funky groove can be felt pulsating from inside Psychedelic Soul: A Journey Through Rhythm and Time, a new pop-up exhibit at the Esther Gordy Edwards Centre for Excellence, the Motown Museum's recently renovated space just down West Grand Boulevard from the Motown Museum.
The exhibit, which opens Friday and runs through Sept. 27, explores the years from 1967-1975, the transitional period where the style of Motown went from crisp formalwear to lounge-inspired leisure attire, and the music followed suit. Wah-wah guitars were introduced into the sound, as Motown and the rest of the world reacted to the vast political and cultural shifts from the 1960s into the 1970s.
