Mackin’ Before The Music?
“Martha Reeves … from Martha & The Vandellas … was his bottom bitch, until he turned her into a singer.”
Berry Gordy may have believed he dotted all his I’s and crossed all his T’s whenever he welcomed a new Motown employee on board — with a reportedly iron-clad confidentiality clause — but one of his own is looking to break those rules. Know why? Insiders say the 83-year-old Motown man demands his pimping past will spill … only over his dead body — literally.
“Anyone who’s ever worked for Berry Gordy is legally-bound to refrain from releasing what they know about him, or his record company, until 50-years after his death.”
Despite the agreement, a former disgruntled Motown Records employee is plotting to pen a tell-all about the said secrets behind Hitsville U.S.A.
Here’s the drop:
“Berry had Martha turning tricks on 12th Street, here in Detroit. When Berry got into the music business he turned Martha into a singer … she even had a track repp’in the stroll called ‘Dancing In The Street.”
