Great write up on Gladys Knight in 1/15/17 Washington Post

I was most impressed about her discussion of a caste system where they gave artists that they endeared the most the better songs.

I was glad she mentioned Norman Whitfield. I don't believe the role he play after the migration began to Los Angeles has been promulgated as it rightfully should be.

It would make sense if Motown biographies could get it right. HDH's departure had Motown at a crossroads in 1967. Norman's quick ascension that year saved Motown and GN&TP's should also be credited with helping to keep Motown afloat during the changing times as the '60s came to a close. But they never got their respect in regards to what they did for Motown either.
