Motown Legend Thelma Houston To Perform In Dearborn

DEARBORN MI — Motown is making its way to Dearborn. Music legend Thelma Houston will help celebrate Motown’s 60th Anniversary Saturday, June 29, with a performance of “My Motown Memories & More,” at Dearborn’s Michael A. Guido Theater, beginning at 8 p.m.

In “My Motown Memories & More,” Houston shares her inspiring life story through an amazing musical journey that includes many popular Motown songs and insightful remembrances.
