A cherished Detroit music landmark may have life ahead after all.
United Sound Systems, site of recording sessions by artists from John Lee Hooker to Whitney Houston, has been threatened by a planned I-94 project that could include a service drive across the 80-year-old studio's property at Second and Antoinette.
But now a team assembled by owner Danielle Scott is aiming to make United Sound too big to fail: The facility's two studios have been quietly renovated and restocked with audio gear, including a vintage Neve mixing console, and plans are in motion to create an on-site museum and recording school.
