Tamla Motown Records was formed in 1959 by a Mr. Berry Gord Jnr, using an $800 loan, to realize his dream of ‘making the voice of the ghetto heard’. The name derives from a combination of the Debbie Reynolds film ‘Tammy’ with the abridged nickname of its’ home city Detroit (Motor Town). Its’ early intentions & roots in the ghetto were eventually eclipsed by its’ enormous impact on the mainstream, flinging up a relative army of stars. Producers such as Marvin Gaye, writers such as Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff, divas such as Diana Ross & Aretha Franklin, & child-prodigy-singer/songwriter/composers such as Stevie Wonder all contributed to its’ establishment throughout the 1960s in the US & beyond. It remains to this day as influential & timeless as it ever was.
