However, later on Martha obviously had sway with Berry and so she requested they be removed from the group. Annette, Roz and Betty still receive royalties from their recordings with the group, which again proves that they were Motown employees. Not sure if it was the same for Lois and Sandy though. Lois did once tell me that she doesn't receive royalites from Motown so maybe big sister employed her directly.
