No, Motown is influenced by Soul and Pop primarily
However, in the first few years, Motown used members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to play the backup music.
MoTown
R&B and Soul
Classical music was first played in Vienna. The tradition became so popular that is eventually spread worldwide. Most composers were either taught or born in Vienna (for example, Beethoven went to Vienna and was taught by Heiden). Vienna was, after all, the center of classical music.
The main influence Western Classical music has on modern day music is the two main types of scale there are, major and minor. Before the classical era, people used mainly modal scales, that is, only the white notes on the piano starting on any note for different modes. Pentatonic and raga scales would also be used more without the classical era. Another notable influence is musical structure. The verse-chorous structure of modern music is a relative of the rondo, and binary and tenery structures from the classical era are still widely used. The micro structure of classical music is also common today - four bar phrases for example, and regular meter mainly in triple and quadruple time. Instrumentation is a big influence, not so much in modern pop, but in jaz, blues and TV and Film music. The piano is the most notably used classical instrument, and the idea of large enssembles like big bands are ideas seeded from an orchestral setting. Even writting music down for others to perform only came from the classical era! So next time you hear someone say classical music sucks, just say if it wasn't for it mordern music wouldn't exist.
It is a classical music!!

Berry Gordy, the founder.
Motown 40 The Music Is Forever - 1998 TV was released on: USA: 15 February 1998
Motown is a two-syllable reduction of the term "Motor City". It is a reference to Detroit, and is an affectionate, and music industry, term, not an official one.
Classical music didn't come from the United States. Classical music was formulated in Europe.
