Motown is short for Motor Town, a variation of the Motor City. It refers to Detroit, Michigan. It is the name for a style of music that was very popular in the 50's and 60's and typically consisted of groups of three or four singers. Some examples would be Dianna Ross and The Supremes, the Four Tops, the Isley Brothers and Gladys Knight and the Pips.
