Motown Artists-80'S Recordings Various Artists - LP 5013501100310

It all began at 419 East Warren in Detroit, Michigan, in 1960. I was nine years old. Our family lived in an apartment building that had eight floors with six apartments on each floor. It was right next door to where the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History stands now. The back of the building had porches that someone could walk on and see everything that was going on in the back of each apartment. The building also had stairs that went all the way down to the first floor. We played in the back of the building to keep from getting hit by cars in the front. The manager of the apartment building was Mr. Jake Cato.

Sometimes gritty other times heartfelt, Mickey Stevenson keeps it rated Real. He doesn't sugar coat the rough edges of his real life stories; so the reader essentially rides shotgun, shoulder to shoulder with Stevenson, back in time to the beginnings before Berry Gordy dubbed him The First A&R Man of Motown Records. Mickey shines light on the love, hate and heartbreak embraced and endured by himself and other unsung heroes of Hitsville, USA during an era that spanned race wars and segregation all the way to the infamous Motown 25 and beyond. The straight truth, no chaser is this; The A&R Man is a behind-the-music page turner that will ignite the senses. Tears will fall, jaws will drop, laughter will escape in unexpected bursts. Not only that, mouths will water at his delectable descriptions of various southern fried cookin' along The Chitlin Circuit, all whilst The Motown Sound that Mickey helped create, floods the inner ear, heart and soul with music that simultaneously brings back his best and most devastating memories of the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's ... and yet, through all of this... the hits just kept on coming!

Motown and Didi, two teenage loners in Harlem, become allies in a fight against Touchy, the drug dealer whose dope is destroying Didi's brother, and find themselves falling in love with each other.

Motown lives in a burned-out building one floor above the rats, searching out jobs every day, working his muscles every night, keeping strong, surviving. Didi lives in her cool dream bubble, untouched by the Harlem heat that beats down on her brother until only drugs can soothe him. Didi escapes, without needles, in her tidy plans and stainless visions, etchings of ivycovered colleges where her true life will begin. Didi can survive inside her own safe mind, until Motown steps into her real world and makes it bearable. Together they can stand the often brutal present. What about the future?
