Revision as of 13:37, 6 November 2014
- Please sort and annotate in a user-friendly manner. For formatting, consider using automated reference wikification.
One of the best resources here will be “Boogie Chillen” as this article will point you towards relevant sources that deal with the recording company and the music of Motown. Be aware that “Boogie Chillen” attempts to place Motown in its urban-social context so it discusses a lot of sources about Detroit in the 20th century. You will have to use your critical thinking to weed out what you need from what you don’t need.
There are also many biographies of Berry Gordy, and various artists (such as Smoky Robinson, Stevie Wonder, et al.) associated with Motown, which CZ would appreciate knowing about. Many of these celebrities will have biographies; some even have autobiographies.
