Classic artists such as Herman Griffins and The Four Tops are featured in the book as they were on the label. You will find reading their contributions and achievements followed by pictures that tell their stories captivating.
Although the 521 pages are a lot to take in it’s a perfect keep sake for all the Motown music loving fans.
