Just out of curiousity, did Berry Gordy screw over Martha and the Vandellas as badly as he did other Motown acts? Timmy, you know I wanna know what you have to say! "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Of course lol
He singled everyone out for his "favorites". Apparently the Marvelettes, Martha and 'em weren't on his list of them. I'll probably post stories tomorrow. Didn't u read the Motown sticky? I think I posted about some troubles other acts had with Motown lol | |

I read it, but I don't remember anything about Martha being on there. Why weren't they his faves? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

That's a million dollar question lol Nah I think he felt some artists weren't pop enough to crossover. Though Martha and the Vandellas had a hip white audience (mostly young white audiences), I think he wanted his acts to appeal to white adults and because of the Supremes, I guess he felt other groups didn't have a Diana Ross so they were ignored.  | |
