Today I take a fascinating trip down Musical Memory Lane with Jack Ryan, author of the book “Recollections: The Detroit Years: Motown Memories From The People Who Made Them”. Find out who REALLY discovered the Jackson 5 (no… it actually wasn’t Diana Ross) to some pretty surprising facts about Marvin Gaye. Turns out what was “Goin’ On” was that he wasn’t paying taxes, kidnapped his own daughter and fled the country. From how Barry Gordy made every decision to an alleged epileptic seizure during a concert that the audience thought was just some crazy dancing… it’s all here. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday!
