SALT LAKE CITY — One of the country's top Motown groups is coming to Salt Lake City as part of night of music, fun and support for local Black businesses.

The Utah Black Chamber of Commerce will hold its second annual business expo and Motown concert on Aug. 2, 5-9 p.m., at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City.
