Richard Street should be in the RRHOF group. You know more inside information than most of us. I talked to the Temptations in 2002 for an hour. Truly gentlemen. I didn't get to talk to the bass ,man; but to Otis Ron Terry Bo. It is not an easy life.
Remember Otis and Melvin figured it out that they had to keep performing to make any money. Also leaving Motown and coming back Melvin and Otis got the right to produce their stuff. At that time it was revolutionary. The only other performer to challenge the system was Curtis Mayfield; Curtom records he founded.
Great post

Curtis understood things early on and had the talent and business sense to back it up. Same thing with Sam Cooke. The Motown acts were mostly kept in the dark about finances, royalties, publishing ,etc, etc.
