Motown

Good high level, dirt free run through of the history of Motown. Other reviews note that the research isn't the best or most accurate. Given that I didn't know much about Motown other than the high level dirt (Gaye was tough to deal with, Gordy had a relationship with Diana Ross, member of the Temptations had chemical problems), I can't speak to the accuracy of the finer points. This is a quick, clear read that made me want to know more about the history of this unique company. The book fades after Motown moves to LA in the 70's, which mirrors the company. But the front end of the book is really engaging.
