DETROIT (AP) - The NFL and the Detroit Lions will honor the 50th anniversary of the founding of Motown Records with a Motown-themed halftime show during the Thanksgiving Day game against the Green Bay Packers.

Six acts on the current Universal Motown Records roster, including Kem and Shontelle, will perform classics from the Motown songbook during intermission of the Nov. 26 contest.

In addition, Jadyn Maria, another artist from the Universal Motown family, will perform the national anthem before the game.
