I was in the wrong part of the country… I was thinking a place in or around Motown. 1/3 correct responses.
I’ll try ONE right. I’m thinking they’ll have to accept the name of the building back then and the name of it now. Stax has a museum in that city too. Ironic that Andrew is originally from the birthplace of Elvis.
🎶It’s like thunder, lightning … the way you love me is frightening🎶
I didn’t know anything about this place other than its most famous event, so I was left with nothing. I’ll say 0/3 as well.
I didn’t find anything in the clue helpful. If one doesn’t know where “Knock on Wood” was written (and I’m not sure why that would be something one would just know ) there isn’t much, to me, that points one to this place that made James Earl Ray became infamous. I’ll say 0/3
