Audiences who didn’t know English knew the words to Motown songs. The Motortown Revue went to Europe. Fan letters in every language showed up at West Grand Boulevard. Behind the infectious beat, inroads had been made overseas as early as spring 1963, when Mr. Gordy, along with Motown executives Esther Gordy Edwards and Barney Ales, made unprecedented sales visits to Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Norway, Sweden and England. Two years later EMI U.K. created the Tamla Motown imprint, an international umbrella for the company’s multi-label output.

    2 He was a brilliant composer and record producer, one of the best to come out of Motown. He was born on May12th 1940 in Harlem, New York, and passed away on September 16th 2008 in Los Angeles, at the age of 68. He founded Whitfield Records in Los Angeles after his departure from Motown Records. He was known as the father of the “Psychedelic Funk” sound. Longer songs, a heavy bass line, distorted guitars, multi-tracked drums and inventive vocal arrangements became the trademarks of Norman’s production output, mainly with The Temptations. According to Dave Laing (Journalist for the Guardian Newspaper; Thursday 18th September 2008) stated that Norman Whitfield’s first actual job at Motown Records was as a member of staff for which he got paid $15 a week to lend a critical ear to new recordings by Motown staff, a job he said "consisted of being totally honest about what records you were listening to". He graded the tracks for Gordy's monthly staff meeting, where decisions were made on which should be released. Soon dissatisfied with quality control, Whitfield fought to be allowed to create records himself. This involved competing with such established figures as Smokey Robinson, but he got his first 3 opportunities in 1964 with lesser Motown The Temptations’ songs, during the first ten groups, co-writing and producing “Needle years of the label’s operation. Such songs as in a Haystack” by the Velvelettes and “Too “Just My Imagination (Running Away with Many Fish in the Sea” by the Marvelettes.

  • Biographical Description for the Historymakers® Video Oral History with Norma Fairhurst
    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with Norma Fairhurst PERSON Fairhurst, Norma, 1943- Alternative Names: Norma Fairhurst; Life Dates: October 24, 1943- Place of Birth: Verona, Mississippi, USA Residence: Flint, MI Work: MI Occupations: Singer Biographical Note Singer and performer Norma Fairhurst was born in Verona, Mississippi and raised in Flint, Michigan. Fairhurst and her cousin, Bertha McNeal, first sang in a group with their uncle called the Barbees, where they recorded an album for the Stepp label in 1957. Following high school and the breakup of the Barbees, Fairhurst enrolled as a student at Flint Junior College. In 1961, while a freshman at Flint Junior College, Fairhurst was asked by her cousin to join a singing group at Western Michigan University with Mildred Arbor, Carolyn Street and Betty Kelley, which they named the Velvelettes. After the quintet won a talent contest at the University, fellow student and nephew of Berry Gordy, Robert Bullock, suggested they audition for Gordy’s Motown Records. The Velvelettes signed to Motown in late 1962 and started recording in January of 1963. They recorded two singles in 1963: "There He Goes," which was written by Fairhurst, and "That's The Reason Why." In 1964, the Velvelettes recorded and released the single "Needle In A Haystack" on Motown’s VIP Records, which peaked at #45 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The group then recorded "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin',” which peaked at #64 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and at #21 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. In September of 1964, Betty Kelley left the Velvelettes to join Martha and the Vandellas.

  • The Women of Motown (Middle)
    The Women of Motown (Middle) Rationale This 50-minute lesson will guide students through a series of social reflecting exercises that examines the issues and roles of the Women of Motown. This lesson is intended to provoke critical thought about the world around them as well by highlighting the many issues of women in music. Inspiration “Until Motown, there were three big careers for a black girl: babies, factories, or day work. Period.” Mary Wells, first female signed to Motown Mastery Objectives • Students will have a greater awareness of issues surrounding women in music and society. • Students will construct their own critiques of these issues based on their own experiences. • Students will objectively compare the Woman of Motown and modern women of various music genres (types of music). Standards Addressed National Standards for Music Education • Grade 5-8, Standard 9 o Students describe distinguishing characteristics of representative music genres and styles from a variety of cultures o Students compare, in several cultures of the world, functions music serves, roles of musicians (e.g., lead guitarist in a rock band, composer of jingles for commercials, singer in Peking opera), and conditions under which music is typically performed National Standards for History • Era 9 Postwar United States (1945 to early 1970s) o Standard 4: The struggle for racial and gender equality and the extension of civil liberties • Era 10 Contemporary United States (1968 to the present) o Economic, social and cultural developments in contemporary United

As founding members of “girl groups” who formed during the 1960s, they each created a sound and style that expanded the foundation set by forebears like the Shirelles, the Chantels, and the Bobbettes. The hits are legion. The groups are legendary. Hearing each woman tell her story, it’s clear that being in a group was often a springboard to reinvention, sometimes within the group itself, other times as a solo artist, and occasionally venturing into spheres beyond music. From opening the Motown Revue as Martha & the Vandellas to presiding on Detroit’s City Council, Martha Reeves embodies fearless strength and dedication. From being christened one of the “Sweethearts of the Apollo” as a member of Patti LaBelle & the Blubelles to becoming the very first Music Ambassador for Trenton, NJ, Sarah Dash is rich in soul and spirit.
