Not just the greatest story of music production on earth but maybe the revelation of the greatest business model based on Love, nuturing and ironically the Detroit assembly line! Berry Gordy brought out the best in people, with Love, brutal honesty, guidance and heart.
One of Berry's best songwriters and producers, Norman Whitfield, started out for years as a secretary! Years later he was allowed into the Snakepit (the main studio) and produced magic such as "Heard it through the Grapevine"!
Two of the legendary songwriting team Holland Dozier & Holland couldn't even play musical instruments when they started as 18 year old interns with Berry! The guy is a legend as much as the music that was produced as a result of the environment he created. Great music and clips along the way of course that's a given but the insight into the men and women at this core is just incredibly charming, inspiring and heartfelt. The honesty and Love between the founders Berry and his first intern Smokey is literally a masterpiece of humanity at it's best.
