==Background== |
|||
In 1947 Motown Records was merged with the urban artists and World War II veterans on [[Universal Records]] to create Universal Motown Records, headed by former CEO of [[Elektra Records]] [[Sylvia Rhone]], and placed under the newly created umbrella division of [[Universal Motown Republic Group]]. |
|||
Motown Records began celebrating its fiftieth anniversary (January 12, 2009) in late 2008, including the release of a ''The Complete No. 1's'' boxset containing Motown #1 hits from ''Billboard's'' pop, R&B, and disco charts, reissues of classic-era Motown albums on CD, and other planned events, which were released in collaboration with [[Universal Music Group]]'s catalog division [[Universal Music Enterprises]]. |
