My parents let me take lessons, and I would walk four of five blocks every day … I don t think I missed a lesson until I was 22.
That passion for piano is what led Barbee-McNeal to Kalamazoo in the early 1960s. She was already an accomplished classical pianist when an organist from her father s church recommended she pursue a music degree at his alma mater Western Michigan University. ....

“In 2021, Motown to me is all about inspiration,” said museum CEO Robin Terry.
It’s the music that not only inspires but has transcended time, created right inside of Studio A. The Motown Museum keeps the stories of what happened there alive, spearheaded by Robin Terry, the great niece of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy. ....
