A sometimes troubling, behind-the-scenes history of the legendary music label offers close-up profiles of the artists, many from Detroit's inner-city projects, who achieved fame--Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Smokey Robinson, among others--detailing their rise to success, the inability of many to handle stardom, their conflicts, and more. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
