The Voodoo Man, who spoke during a solo exhibit of his work Saturday at the Shepherd, a former church turned art gallery on Detroit's east side, has come a long way.

Detroit’s Massive Michigan Motown Museum Expansion Could Be A Must-See In 2027

A tiny house bought with an $800 family loan launched some of the most famous songs on Earth. Now that same house is getting a $75 million glow-up wrapped around it. The plan stretches the campus to nearly 50,000 square feet. It adds a theater, a real recording studio, and a creative hub for young dreamers. I can’t imagine a better way to honor where all that music started.
