The SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards weekend was certainly one to remember. Great performances at Friday’s Awards Show along with the announcement of this year’s coveted awards (CLICK HERE to see our winners) made it an historical night. And we followed it on Saturday with a tour of Detroit’s famed Motown Museum and an All-Star Jam that had them rocking in the aisles. You can see a review of the evening at 4DaSoul and you can see some more pictures at Fusicology courtesy of Stevie Soul. For those of you who missed it, here are some of the sights from that incredible weekend:
