The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

Typical Motown shenanigans
A good source once told me that they had a roomful of "writers"
who took all the unsolicited cassette tapes, and pillaged ones that
had promise, reworking them to be somewhat original.
Barrett Strong was an insider, who still got screwed out of his
royalties.

He was right. Publishing and writing songs is where the money flows.
Artists got colorful clothes, shoes, and if they were lucky........cars.
More often than not, a good schtuppin!
