According to Wikipedia, Motown Records now operates out of the Capital Records Tower in L.A.. This is news to me. Although unpleasant changes occurred at Universal Music over the past year or two effecting Motown fans greatly, I was under the impression that Motown was still located and operating, at least to some extent, in Manhattan.
Here’s the last paragraph of the Wikipedia article:
"Motown spent much of the 2000s as a part of the Universal Music subsidiaries Universal Motown and Universal Motown Republic Group, and headquartered in New York City. From 2011 to 2014, Motown was a part of The Island Def Jam Music Group division of Universal Music. On April 1, 2014, Universal Music Group announced the dissolution of Island Deaf Jam; subsequently Motown relocated back to Los Angeles to operate under the Capitol Music Group. It now operates out of the landmark Capitol Tower."
