Berry Gordy & Motown without THE SUPREMES would have been just another mediocre small time Record Label & C.E.O.
The back room sleazy contract he had THE SUPREMES and the rest of the Motown Stables under stripped them of any control of their careers, cheat them out of royalties and due profits, had a SEX FOR STARDOM alliance with Diane Ross on which she "put out" and he eventually made her a "solo act" at the expense of THE SUPREMES (Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson & Cindy Birdsong)

I love Berry Gordy! No, he was not a saint, he made plenty of bastard assed moves and possibly ruined some lives. He didn't give "just due" to many people who deserved it (ie: James Jamerson, Flo Ballard, etc.). He also put all of his eggs (and other peoples eggs) in Diana Ross's basket. However, I admire his ambition and his creation of an institution that became a major artery in the music industry even to this day. I would love the opportunity to speak with him.

I love Berry Gordy. Yes, he did some things in his past that he should not have but come on, lets stop acting like he was the first or the last (p.diddy, jay z) to do dirty business. This man gave Rick James, The Jacksons, Diana Ross, Tina Marie, and many others their start. Lets be real Berry is THE most respected black man in music. He changed the face of music and thats what he should be known for

@bigbear39ca He didn't give a shit about black people. The only color that matters to Berry is green.

too bad you broke the "HEARTS" of your musicians berry and gave them no warning when you closed the doors to motown in '72 and moved to los angeles. James Jamerson and others drank them self to death from depression of not being able to no longer provide for their familes. People like Smokey and Diana were grateful...because he took care of them. Especially Diana.
