Neurosyphilis is considered infectious but is not transmitted from person to person. Generally, a disease like this is caused by an infectious agent and not spread between people. Neurosyphilis, although infectious, is not a genetic disease.
Motown is a record company founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, USA, on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit.
In 1965, Gordy's company had $15 million in sales, more than triple what it had been making in 1963. The next year, 75% of Motown's releases made it onto the charts. Five of Motown's records climbed into the Top 10 on the pop charts in 1968. In 1969, the Jackson 5, fronted by a young Michael Jackson, joined the label.
