The Jewelettes are a ten-piece Motown big band featuring, three top class female vocalists, a brass section, bass, drums, guitar, piano/keyboards, percussion and fantastic backing vocals. The band was formed to coincide with the celebration of Motown's 50th anniversary, which is taking place in 2009. Even today after nearly 50 years, the Motown label is still going strong. The Jewelettes have selected thirty of the classic hit songs recorded by the ladies of Motown. Ladies such as, Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Velvetettes, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas and many more. These songs are taken mainly from the time that Berry Gordy founded the Motown label in 1959 up until he moved the organisation from Hitsville in Detroit to L.A. in 1972.
The new Motown Show, brilliantly encompasses song and music performance with beautifully crafted choreography, along with wonderful stage lighting. The Jewelettes have captured all the magic and nostalgia from this much loved period in music history. The Jewelettes' fantastic Motown Show is a fitting tribute and a must see for all Motown fans or anyone else who just simply likes great music. Check out the band at their Audio & Visual page.
