Marv Johnson not mention much when speaking of motown musicians but the capitals made from his strings of hits propel motown and it's artist.
Tarantulisimo
This definitely is/was the first release ever from the Motown empire, pressed on the Tamla label. But technically, the first recording in the process was "I Can't Concentrate" by Wade Jones, which Berry recorded as a âtest runâ before starting Motown proper, pressed on the Rayber (Raymona & Berry Gordy) label.
Roland Bichler
Great
