Présentation de l'éditeur
The acclaimed best selling story of Tamla Motown records - the most successful independent record label in the world. Now acknowledged by critics in both the US and Europe as the definitive account of the rise and fall of the Motown Sound. It covers the careers of all the great Motown artists - The Supremes, Marin Gaye, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Four Top, THe Jackson Five and many more. It tells the story behind all their hits and how the company was run on factory like principles by Berry Gordy who as a result became the richest black American in history. it paints a portrait of gullible artists signing away their rights and, eventually, falling out with Gordy over monetary matters and that many of the back room boys at Motown - the writers and the musicians who played on the records - got a pittance for their efforts.

The dust jacket is in good condition (chipped and crinkled edges). 9 ½ x 6 ½, 250 pages, 20 ounces XX [From the dust jacket] In 1959 Berry Gordy, Jr., founded Motown Records (for Motortown) at the urging of a young songwriter named Smokey Robinson, and Gordy soon established his headquarters in a two-story building on West Grand Boulevard in Detroit. Through auditions and regular talent hunts in the Detroit ghetto, Gordy discovered a host of eager young performers, and by backing those singers with Motown's own in-house songwriters, producers, and musicians, he created the distinctive Motown sound?"The Sound of Young America." In its first two decades Motown churned out hundreds of classic pop records and launched the careers of such greats as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, the Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Mary Wells, Junior Walker, the Four Tops, and the Jackson Five. Throughout the sixties Motown singles dominated the American music charts, and Berry Gordy's family business went on to become the largest black-owned conglomerate in the United States. The story of-Motown Records is the story of the American Dream. Where Did Our Love Go? is an intimate account of everything?the people, the money, the times?that made the dream come true, and it is the story of the way in which that dream fell apart. Nelson George, whom Newsweek has called "perhaps the best black writer on black popular music in America," has based his work on personal interviews with Motown insiders?the songwriters, musicians, producers, and managers who made the music happen. From "Little" Stevie Wonder's sexual initiation to the tragedy behind Smokey Robinson's sweetest love songs, from Marvin Gaye's embarrassing early recordings to Flo Ballard's ejection from the Supremes, Where Did Our Love Go? is a fascinating look at what really went on behind the scenes of the greatest "hit factory" in the history of popular music. NELSON GEORGE, the author of the bestselling The Michael Jackson Story, is Black Music Editor of Billboard and has written for such publications as Musician, Rolling Stone and The Village Voice.
