This book was incredible. I have read several books about the recording industry in general that always sort of just touched on the subject of Motown and just moved on. So i really had no full idea of the impact of the label on music as a whole and my life specifically.
I grew up with Motown. I watched the Jackson 5ive cartoon on Saturday mornings. And when Michael came of age with in 1980 with Billie Jean, I was also coming of age listening to it in Germany away from home for the first time.
From the Temptations, whose Vh1 story of was awesome by the way, to the Supremes even Marvin Gaye and Lil' Stevie Wonder , these artists and their songs were the soundtrack of my life.
This is a must read for all those who want to know the true story of just what went on in that little white house on West Grand Boulevard with the sign on it that said Hitsville U S A.
