DEARBORN – Music legend Thelma Houston will help celebrate Motown’s 60th Anniversary June 29, with a performance of “My Motown Memories & More” at 8 p.m. at Michael A. Guido Theater.
In “My Motown Memories & More,” Houston shares her life story through a musical journey that includes many popular Motown songs and remembrances.
