June 17th, 2018 by David Weiss

Motown isn’t the only musical magnet for recording artists in Detroit. United Sound Systems has it’s own heavy reputation, with a clientele that’s included Charlie Parker, John Lee Hooker, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, Bob Seger, the MC5, George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, and way beyond.

This prolific audio complex was built in 1916, has been studios since 1939, and is protected as a Michigan Historic Site. It can now be yours for $1.5 million. Take a look at all the photos on the page of realtor Matt O’Laughlin of Alexander Real Estate Detroit – this may be a sonic opportunity that’s too good to pass up.
