((Music of the United States))

The '''music of Michigan''' is composed of many different genres.  The city of [[Detroit, Michigan|Detroit]] has been one of the most musically influential and innovative cities for the past 50 years, whether in [[Michigan]] or anywhere else in the [[United States]].  Impressively, for 48 straight years (1959–2007) a greater Michigan-area artist has produced a chart-topping recording. Michigan is perhaps best known for three developments: early [[punk rock]] (or [[proto-punk]]), [[Motown (music style)|Motown]], and [[techno]].

Michigan musicians with a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit include artists from the 1950s: [[Guy Mitchell]] (Rockabilly genre) and [[Bill Haley (musician)|Bill Haley]] (of [[Bill Haley & His Comets]]); from the 1960s: [[Del Shannon]], [[The Supremes]], [[The Marvelettes]], [[The Temptations]], [[The Four Tops]], [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Marvin Gaye]], "The Prince of Soul"; [[Smokey Robinson and the Miracles]], [[Aretha Franklin]], "The Queen of Soul" (d. 2018); [[Mary Wells]], [[Tommy James and the Shondells]], and [[? and the Mysterians]]; from the 1970s: [[Al Green]], [[The Spinners (American group)|The Spinners]], [[Grand Funk Railroad]], and [[The Knack]]; from the 1980s: [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], "The Queen of Pop", [[Bob Seger]], and [[Ray Parker Jr.]]; from the 1990s: [[Aaliyah]], "The Queen of Urban Pop"; from the 2000s: [[Eminem]] (who has had 9 consecutive #1 albums from ''[[The Marshall Mathers LP]]'' in 2000 to ''[[Music to Be Murdered By]]'' in 2020).

Other Detroit musicians with a #1 album on the Billboard 200 include [[Kid Rock]] with ''[[Rock n Roll Jesus]]'' in 2007; [[Jack White]] of The White Stripes, with 3 albums (''[[Blunderbuss (album)|Blunderbuss]]'' in 2012, ''[[Lazaretto (album)|Lazaretto]]'', and ''[[Boarding House Reach]]''; Jack White's group [[The Raconteurs]] also had a #1 album); [[Big Sean]], with 3 consecutive #1 albums, including ''[[Dark Sky Paradise]]'' in 2015; and [[NF (rapper)|NF]], from northern Michigan, with 2 #1 albums, including one in 2018. Eminem's groups [[D12]] and [[Bad Meets Evil]] have also had #1 albums. [[Dej Loaf]] is the latest hip-hop singer to make national waves. [[Mike Posner]] is another notable example. His debut album, ''[[31 Minutes to Takeoff]]'' (2010), includes the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] top 10 single "[[Cooler than Me]]" as well as the top 20 single "[[Please Don't Go (Mike Posner song)|Please Don't Go]]".  In 2016 he released his second album, ''[[At Night, Alone.]]'' A remix of his 2015 single "[[I Took a Pill in Ibiza]]" from the album peaked in the top 10 on the charts in 27 countries around the world, including hitting number one in many and the top five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the United States. He has written songs for a great number of fellow artists, and is a member of the alternative hip-hop duo [[Mansionz]]. [[Alice Cooper]], "The Godfather of Shock Rock," had a #1 Billboard 200 album with the hard rock ''[[Billion Dollar Babies]]'' in 1973. Additionally, the new-age classic rock band [[Greta Van Fleet]], from Frankenmuth, have been nominated for four Grammy Awards in 2019 and won the Best New Artist award from the 2017 Loudwire Music Awards.<ref>((cite web |last1=Childers |first1=Chad |title=Greta Van Fleet Win Best New Artist 2017 Loudwire Music Awards |url=http://loudwire.com/greta-van-fleet-win-best-new-artist-2017-loudwire-music-awards/ |website=Loudwire.com |publisher=Loudwire |accessdate=13 December 2018))</ref>

==R&B/Soul==
((Further|Music of Detroit))

[[Fortune Records]] was a pre-Motown, Detroit-based, independent record label that specialized in soul, doo-wop, rockabilly, gospel, blues and rock and roll. It was owned by Jack and Devora Brown, a husband and wife business team who would operate the label with help from their son, Sheldon Brown.  The label's biggest stars included [[John Lee Hooker]], [[Nolan Strong]], [[Andre Williams (musician)|Andre Williams]] and [[Nathaniel Mayer]].
The label would release more than 800 vinyl records before stopping original releases in the 1970s.  While Fortune never made it to Motown's height of fame, artists like the late Nolan Strong proved to be influential. In his autobiography, [[Smokey Robinson]] named Strong as one of his biggest and earliest influences.  Andre Williams and Nathaniel Mayer both had career resurgences in the 2000s [[garage rock]] scene. Bands like [[Reigning Sound]], [[Goober & the Peas]], and [[The Black Keys]] have all cited Fortune artists as influential.

Detroit's [[Motown Records]] dominated [[soul music]] for many years.  Musicians included [[Stevie Wonder]], [[The Temptations]], [[Aretha Franklin]] (buried in [[Woodlawn Cemetery (Detroit)|Woodlawn Cemetery]] in Detroit, where [[The Four Tops]] are also buried; besides "[[Respect (song)|Respect]]", she had another #1 Hot 100 hit with "[[I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)]]" in 1987), [[Diana Ross]], [[Marvin Gaye]], [[Martha & the Vandellas]], [[Smokey Robinson]], [[Mary Wells]] (#1 with "[[My Guy]]"), [[The Supremes]] and [[The Jackson 5]]. All of these artists had a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit, except Martha & the Vandellas. [[The Supremes]] had 12 #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits. [[The Temptations]] had 4 #1 Hot 100 hits. [[Stevie Wonder]] had 10 #1 Hot 100 hits. Led by [[Berry Gordy]], Motown revolutionized soul and made Detroit one of the American centers of musical innovation. Although many who have never lived in the region incorrectly associate certain music from Michigan as being Detroit-oriented, Motown's productions were, in reality, among the limited number of recorded works actually linked to the city itself. Many Motown recordings originated in the city, and many Motown artists were from the city of Detroit, or migrated to the immediate area.

[[Ready for the World]] formed in [[Flint, Michigan|Flint]] in 1982. They had a Billboard Hot 100 #1 song with "[[Oh Sheila]]" in 1985.

==Pop==
((Further|Music of Detroit#Pop))

1960s pop-rock singer [[Del Shannon]] came from [[Coopersville, Michigan|Coopersville]], near Grand Rapids. He had the #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit "[[Runaway (Del Shannon song)|Runaway]]" in 1961.

Singer [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], born Madonna Ciccone in [[Bay City, Michigan|Bay City]], later living in the [[Rochester, Michigan|Rochester]] area (and attending the [[University of Michigan]]), rose to be considered the "Queen of Pop" by many.  Her long career began in the early 1980s and she continues to top charts today. Madonna had 12 #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "[[Like a Virgin (song)|Like a Virgin]]", from 1984.
[[File:1st RCA wCanada promo.jpg|thumb|left|upright|1st Dan Schafer RCA single US & Canada promo]]

[[Mike Posner]], from Oakland County, had the popular song "[[I Took a Pill in Ibiza]]" in 2016.

==Rock==
((Further|Music of Detroit#Rock and roll))
[[Hank Ballard]] was an early [[rock and roll]] artist born in Detroit.  Detroit was a center of the 1960s [[rock music|rock]] scene, with such legendary bands as [[The Amboy Dukes (band)|The Amboy Dukes]] (featuring guitarist [[Ted Nugent]]), The [[Bob Seger]] System, [[? and the Mysterians]], the [[MC5]], [[Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels]] ("[[Devil With a Blue Dress On]]"), and [[Tommy James and the Shondells]] ("[[Crimson and Clover]]"). In the 1970s, Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, [[Alice Cooper]], and [[Grand Funk Railroad]] (from [[Flint, Michigan|Flint]], who had a #1 Hot 100 hit with "[[We're an American Band (song)|We're an American Band]]" in 1973) were popular rock stars. The Hideout and other teen clubs in the Detroit suburbs during the mid-1960s were a hotbed for such influential groups as [[The Fugitives (band)|the Fugitives]], [[The Pleasure Seekers/Cradle]], the Subterraneans (featuring Detroit native [[Glenn Frey]]), and [[The Underdogs (duo)|the Underdogs]]. [[The Rationals]] and [[The Prime Movers (Michigan band)|The Prime Movers]] formed in Ann Arbor, [[Unrelated Segments]] formed in [[Taylor, Michigan|Taylor]], [[Luv'd Ones]] formed in [[Niles, Michigan|Niles]], and [[The JuJus]] formed in Grand Rapids.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, [[punk rock]] pioneers like the [[MC5]] and [[The Stooges]] (from Ann Arbor, with lead singer [[Iggy Pop]], born in [[Muskegon, MI|Muskegon]]) came from southeastern Michigan. Iggy Pop attended the [[University of Michigan]].  These performers had incendiary lyrics and outrageous, highly physical live shows. The [[Grande Ballroom]] in Detroit was an important venue for these groups.  Saginaw/Bay City's [[? and the Mysterians]], who had a Billboard #1 hit in 1966 with "[[96 Tears]]", are widely credited as influencing many later [[garage punk (fusion genre)|garage punk]] bands; the Mysterians' sound melded Tex-Mex influences and James Brown-style soul. [[The Dogs (US punk band)|The Dogs]] formed in 1969, influenced by the MC5 and The Stooges, and were active in the Detroit, New York, and LA [[proto-punk]] scenes. [[Death (protopunk band)|Death]], from Detroit, was active from 1971 to 1976, with a self-released limited single in 1976 being their only release until 2009, when [[Drag City (record label)|Drag City]] began releasing the band's unreleased 1970s demo recordings and surviving members reformed the group. 
 
[[Sixto Rodriguez|Rodriguez]], from Detroit, began his career in the early 1970s and gained a following in South Africa and Australia. [[Searching for Sugarman]] is a film that documented his life and career. 

In the late 1970s, Detroit had a small [[New wave music|new wave]] scene that included [[The Romantics]] ("[[What I Like About You (The Romantics song)|What I Like About You]]") and [[Sonic's Rendezvous Band]], who played at a converted supper club called Bookie's. The new wave rock scene of the late 1970s also included vinyl record releases by the film-influenced Cinecyde, whose label Tremor Records released singles, EPs, and LPs by the group and many other local, like-minded artists. The Ann Arbor-based group [[Destroy All Monsters]] began as an art-oriented experimental group but soon evolved into a hard rock band with a psychedelic edge, prominently due to the presence of [[Ron Asheton]] (The Stooges) and Michael Davis (MC5).  Vocalist [[Niagara (artist)|Niagara]], a founding group member, would also gain notoriety for her [[film noir]]-influenced graphic pop art in later years.

[[The Gories]] are a [[Garage punk (fusion genre)|garage punk]] band formed in 1986 in Detroit.  The trio consists of [[Mick Collins]] (of [[The Dirtbombs]]), Dan Kroha (of The [[Demolition Doll Rods]]), and Peggy O'Neill.  The group originally broke up in 1992, but have reunited since 2009.

In the 1990s, [[East Lansing]] band [[The Verve Pipe]] rose to brief stardom with the hit "[[The Freshmen (song)|The Freshman]]", and [[Sponge (band)|Sponge]], from Detroit, had moderate national success with a dual-guitar sound reminiscent of the MC5.  [[Romeo, MI|Romeo]] native [[Kid Rock]] gained national prominence in 1999 with his album ''Devil Without a Cause'' which melded his background as a [[rapper]] with other influences from Detroit-based musicians and genres (e.g., Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, and Motown). [[Uncle Kracker]] and [[alternative metal]] band [[Taproot (band)|Taproot]] also had success in the early 2000s. 

The first decade of the 21st century also saw a further revival of the Detroit garage rock sound, typified by bands such as [[The White Stripes]], [[The Von Bondies]], Gore Gore Girls, The GO and [[The Detroit Cobras]].

Notable post-hardcore bands include [[Chiodos]], from Davison; [[I See Stars]], from Warren; [[For the Fallen Dreams]], from Lansing; [[La Dispute (band)|La Dispute]], from Grand Rapids; [[Gone By Sunset]], from Sterling Heights; [[Famous Last Words (band)|Famous Last Words]], from Petoskey; Flint [[metalcore]] bands [[It Lies Within]] and [[King 810]]; [[We Came as Romans]], from Troy; and [[I Prevail]], from Southfield.

Notable alternative/indie rock bands include Frankenmuth's [[Greta Van Fleet]] had a No. 3 album on the Billboard 200 in 2018, [[Peoples Temple (band)]] from Lansing and [[Whirlwind Heat]] from Grand Rapids.

==Electronic Music==
((Further|Detroit techno))

[[Techno]] was primarily developed in basement studios by "The [[Belleville Three]]", a cadre of African-American men, [[Derrick May (musician)|Derrick May]], [[Kevin Saunderson]], and [[Juan Atkins]], who were attending college at the time near Detroit. Influenced heavily by [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]]'s [[Parliament-Funkadelic]], [[Germany]]'s [[Kraftwerk]], and the [[house music]] coming out of [[Chicago]] at the time, they created a new genre of percussive, entirely synthetic [[electronic dance music]].

In the 1990s, a fusion of [[Miami bass]], [[techno music|techno]], and [[hip-hop music|hip-hop]] called [[ghettotech]] arose in Detroit.  Some notable artists were DJ Assault and DJ Godfather. Since May 2000, Detroit has also been the home of the hugely popular [[Detroit Electronic Music Festival]] and related festivals.

The west coast of Michigan hosts the eight-day [[Electric Forest Festival]] each summer since 2008, which features famous EDM DJs and jam bands.

==Hip hop==
((See also|Music of Detroit#Hip hop))
In the mid-late 1980s, Awesome Dre and the Hard Core Committee, along with Prince Vince and the Hip Hop Force, were among the first wave of Detroit artists, with Awesome Dre becoming the first to go national with videos receiving regular spins on ''[[Yo! MTV Raps]]''. Also in the mid-late 1980s came others like D the Great, [[Detroit's Most Wanted]], Suavey Spy, Mike Fresh, Ace Lee, Eveready Crew, [[Esham]], J to The D, and Silveree.  Some of these acts continued into the 1990s, which saw the emergence of others local hip-hop artists such as AWOL, Smiley, Kaos & Mystro, The DBGz, Goon Squad, Playskule, Bombshell, and [[Boss (rapper)|Boss]]; MF 911 followed. Undoubtedly, Michigan's most famous hip hop star is [[Eminem]]. Eminem has had 4 #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, including "[[Lose Yourself]]" from the film ''[[8 Mile (film)|8 Mile]]'' in 2002.

Neighboring Flint made significant contributions to hip hop throughout the 1990s, with artists like [[MC Breed]], [[Top Authority]], and [[The Dayton Family]]. Since 2011, [[Big Sean]] and [[Dej Loaf]] are spearheading a national hip-hop sound for Detroit, with up-and-comers like Che (Formally Detroit Che),<ref>((cite web |url= https://www.bet.com/shows/hip-hop-awards/2014/photos/show/cypher-revealed-lil-mama.html |title= 2014 BET HipHop Awards Cypher))</ref> whose 2014 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher with [[Lil Mama]] garnered her national recognition.
